Unlock your battlestation with Portable Monitors

Tips & Tricks

For the past couple years, I have been obsessed with using portable monitors at my desk setups, where they sit permanently and are super easy to maneuver and move around. They are powered via USB-C, are super lightweight and thin, and can be place almost anywhere.

Once I got my hands on my first portable monitor, I saw the VESA holes and immediately had a lightbulb moment. The very first thing was design a bracket that I could 3D print. It would take the 2 or 4 screw VESA mounting holes that were on the back of these portable monitors, and covert it over to 1/4"-20, which is compatible with unlimited amounts of photo and video mounting hardware that is very popular and standardized in the media world. I got so many requests for them, so I started to print and sell them.

If you are interested in replicating this setup, here is what you need.
