Can't go wrong with Kupo
High quality, durable, rugged and built to last -If you're in the market for a versatile monitor adapter, this is a great choice and definitely the better alternative to the cheap plastic no name grip parts. Kupo is an industry standard and like most well known Grip equipment, it's going to be a tad pricey - The good news is you're not just paying for the name; For your money you are getting a high quality adapter that's built to last beyond your first project. This will last a lifetime. Not much to go on and on about; High quality, you can use it with a plethora of grip equipment to customize monitor mounting for your needs. Mount on a C Stand, arm, bracket, clamp, jib, etc - Plenty of variations to meet your needs.Things to consider:For the Pro: No input needed from me. If the price looks good you probably already added it to your arsenal.For the rest of us:Again it's a great piece of equipment but it should be the LAST piece of equipment on your priority list if you're just shooting DSLR / Indy / Student / Amatuer Hobbyist / EtcI see too many folks invest $$$$ in Grip equipment that they don't NEED - If you can afford it - Go for it. On a budget? Good investment but a good lens, audio gear, lights, comes way before this particular piece -If you're simply trying to weed out the DIY gear and shift to a more "pro" look for the 2 man film crew - Stop. Save your dough for a better lens, lights, audio gear - Etc. You can use a $3 strap and an old table for a monitor stand. All of these things can be rented later on or bought at a fraction of the price on Ebay - Focus on perfecting your skills and learning the craft of film/photography rather than the art of collecting equipment that you don't need yet - I was tasked with updating my companies equipment arsenal for our video production unit so this was an easy buy (company $$$) - If I was spending my own cash, there wouldn't be a review because this is something that I don't absolutely need for simple photography / amateur movie making.Pros: Read above..CONS: Price fluctuation. Shop around. It's great to buy a brand new shiny item but if you can save some cash by buying a used one with a few scratches, that's even better.

Should get the job done
Very versatile and functional, you should be able to gather that from the photo. The two I received had both 100mm and 75mm VESA holes. I felt I had to subtract a star because of the materials used. They are lightweight alloys and I'm sure they'll be just fine, but I thought they would be a little higher quality. Kupo makes top-quality grip equipment, I feel they cut a few corners here. Overall, looks like it will work on my lightweight monitors and the price is decent.

Well built and solidly constructed!
This unit is very well built and solidly constructed. It gives you the option of adjusting the angle of the TV or monitor that you mount to it, practically, any way you would like. You can tilt up and down, left and right as well as diagonal. You can even rotate the TV/monitor if you need to. Once you have positioned the TV/monitor to the angle of your choice, simply turn the handle to lock the TV/monitor in position.We use this to mount a 22" TV on a stand. The TV is used as a film production field monitor when we are filming. It permits you to mount a TV or monitor to a light stand or c-stand with no problem. It also allows you to easily and quickly break down and remove the TV/monitor from the stand as well.If you already have light stands or c-stands, this is a far better, and less expensive option than buying a dedicated monitor stand. I made the mistake of purchasing a monitor stand several years ago, but ended up buying this because the monitor stand was a hassle to transport. It also didn't allow you to position the angle of the monitor as freely as this unit does.

Too weak & then handle broke off
Really wanted to like this monitor mount, but it just didn't work for me. I was using it with the SmallHD 1303 HDR monitor and it couldn't hold the weight of it even though the monitor is under 10 pounds. I'd have to crank it hard to get it to lock and hold the position and a little while later it would loosen enough that the monitor would tilt down. After a month of use and cranking the handle to tighten it, the handle just broke off. Now I need another monitor mount. Not recommended.

Somewhat disappointing but you can get it to work
I tried this with a Sony 24" professional production monitor that weighs in around 20 lbs and it just wouldn't hold the position no matter how hard I cranked on it. I thought the whole thing - particularly the tightening bolt - looked rather wimpy when I received it but thought I'd give it a shot anyway. Wish I had time to test it earlier as now I'm scrambling for a replacement that works.**UPDATE 1/24/2018So, I've come back to revise my review a bit. As noted below in the comments, on the initial set-up I did have it positioned incorrectly but didn't notice. When I went to try it out again, I realized the mistake I made the first time so I have to teat a little crow on my first review. Once you flip it around so the weight tightens the grip instead of loosening it (like you do with a grip head and heavy load), it will bite. That said, I did have to use a pair of pliers to get that last bit of crank on it & have it hold tight enough that it wouldn't slip. In the end, I'd say this was "Okay" for the price. I'm sure it would work great on lighter monitors and it's worked good enough with a little muscle that I'll continue using it on my heavy Sony field monitor.

Grip does not work.
It doesn't grip well. It won't hold a position well no matter how hard you crank on it. I thought about trying to put some rubber into the pressure fit for grip. It does hold securely but it might as well not be adjustable. There's this one and another manufacturer who had one for $50 or so. Buy that one instead.

Works perfectly
I have this mounted to a c-stand with a 22-inch monitor connected to my camera and this worked perfectly. Cost was very reasonable and it is strong, clamps stay tight. Would buy this again if i had a need for another.

For the price it works fantastic. I use them on set for my courtesy ...
For the price it works fantastic. I use them on set for my courtesy monitors so HMW can have their own video village. I have them attached to light weight Dell computer monitors and it can support the weight fine. They do tend to loosen up and sag when the video cart has to be moved.

Casi un Matthews
Soy fan de Matthews, fiel de Matthews pero no encontré con ellos nada igual y esta pieza está a la altura

Muy mala calidad
No soporta el peso de un monitor de 17” small hd, el monitor termina recargado en el tripie pues la base no resiste nada.
