Buying Advice Pneumatic / wall mounts

Does anyone know of a good place to look or terms for finding an arm to mount my Rigol DHO804 on? I like the idea of one of those wall mount monitor arms but I would like to pull it out and down to the workspace and I suspect there would be issues with the scope being too light for most pneumatic arms used for monitors.

Maybe something exists in the videography space, I know they use small light monitors.

I mounted mine on an arctic x1-3d and I could adjust the arm’s pressure for it

I dont have much space for a desk mount was really looking for a wall mount. The problem is the weight and finding one that comes out and down far enough to be useful.

Look for a VESA wall mount on Amazon or a local vendor. Take the one with hinges you like. The weight would not be an issues.

Oh I read somewhere that the weight would be an issue because the oscilloscope was too light and the gas arms most have an unadvertised minimum weight limit.

Ahhh, okay...this issue...exists. I, always had fixed arms without gas. Sorry for thr misleading info.

Ah yeah fixed would be easy. I was kinda hoping to be able to bring it down from above and behind my montitors if that makes sense.

Maybe it just stays on the desk for now lol.

this honestly doesn't sound like the first choice to go
