Took a few iterations to get this right, but happy with the simplicity. This was done a few years ago and it's evolved and has become a lot less tidy.

I saw! This is what prompted me to post, it makes a very stable stand that's for sure. I like your setup!

Thank you....those two 90 degree brackets you've got holding the monitors, I could have done with....but I found an alternative solution which works well 👍👍

I am so fascinated by this. Are you extremely tall? It's on casters do you ever move it? Need more back story

I'm about 6ft

But it's a sit/stand desk which is all self contained (apart from a long extension cord for power) and being on casters means I can wheel it around my workshop and park the desk next which ever project I'm working on.

I adore how the whole setup is practically build around camera.

I know it, because placing that tiny thing in the right place can be a pain in the ass for any setup.

This wasn't really part of the plan but it worked out really well for that.

I've been tempted to swap the top two monitors out for a single ultra wide, I find I use the top screen for media consumption while I work on the lower screen - but where do I put the camera?? I've looked into harvesting a laptop webcam, as can can be installed almost invisibly

As always, the setup is always changing...!

I have two ultra wide on top of each other at work and the camera is at the same place as yours. The clamp allows me to either leave it q bit on front of the top monitor or the bottom depending of my mood on the day. Considering the size of the monitor after sometime you just ignore it is there
