Dual Articulating Gas Monitor Arm
Overview
The HYDRA2 is a dual articulating monitor arm with a gas hydraulic mechanism, built for workspaces running two screens. The sealed nitrogen gas cylinder counterbalances each monitor’s weight independently, letting you reposition either display with a single finger and hold any position precisely. The mount ships with both a desk clamp and a grommet base included, covering the two most common installation scenarios without any extra purchases. Built-in cable management keeps cords routed along the arms and off your workspace. Compatible with flat and curved monitors from 15″ to 28″ up to 8 kg per arm.
Key Features
- Clamp — On Side of Desk
- Grommet — Through a Hole in Desk Top
Feature Detail
Gas hydraulic arm
A gas hydraulic arm uses a sealed nitrogen gas cylinder as a precision counterbalance — the same core technology found in medical examination tables, aerospace hatches, and premium automotive hoods. The result is one-finger repositioning with virtually no resistance: raise, lower, tilt, or swing your monitor and it holds exactly where you leave it. Once set up for your display, the cylinder requires zero maintenance — no re-tensioning, no adjustments, no change in feel over time. It’s the right choice for users who reposition frequently, share a workstation, or simply want a premium adjustment experience that’s completely effortless.
Full Articulation
The arm delivers a broad range of motion to accommodate different workstyles and ergonomic needs. Swivel up to ±90° to share your screen or angle toward a second seat, tilt to eliminate glare from overhead lighting, and rotate a full 360° to switch between landscape and portrait orientation. Portrait mode is particularly useful for coding, reading long documents, or working in vertically-oriented applications. All adjustments are smooth and hold position firmly once set.
Ergonomics
When a monitor is at the wrong height and below natural eye level it forces the head forward and down for hours at a time — a leading cause of neck and upper back strain in desk-based work. The mount raises the monitor to a comfortable viewing height and holds it there, encouraging a more upright posture throughout the day. Tilt adjustment lets you angle the screen to match your exact seated position and eliminate glare without shifting your chair. Small adjustments to monitor height and angle add up to a meaningfully more comfortable workday over time.
Two mounting options
This mount ships with both a desk clamp and a grommet base included — no choosing at checkout, no separate accessory purchases. The desk clamp accommodates surfaces from 10 to 50 mm thick and installs without any modification to your desk, making it the straightforward choice for most setups. The grommet base routes through an existing desk hole, eliminating the clamp profile entirely for a flush, low-profile installation that keeps the focus on the monitor rather than the mount. Having both options in the box means the right fit for your desk is already accounted for, regardless of your workspace configuration.
