    It fits perfectly!

    • Written by from Beaverton

    I was a little worried about buying this mount due to the previous review saying that it didn't fit. But, I bought and created a little video showing how it's installed. It does fit just fine, but I can see why it might seem like it doesn't fit.

    Search for "Apple VESA Mount Adapter Unboxing and Install" on YouTube. I can't post the link here.     …More

    Unsurprisingly excellent design

    • Written by from Oakland

    I used this to mount a Thunderbolt display to an ergonomic sit to stand arm and it worked great. It should be no surprise to anyone that follows Apple that this is a well designed product. While installing it I was struck at how much thought went into it and how well it was built.

    The installation was very smooth and painless. If you have trouble getting the holes on the sides of the flange to line up read the instructions, you have to tighten the center bolt on the adapter very tight in order to bring the plate down enough to line up the holes.     …More

    You really need a Torx-capable screwdriver

    • Written by from Seattle

    This adapter kit contains two pieces: a flange that attaches to a stub inside the monitor/iMac, and an adapter plate that attaches to that flange (the adapter plate is the only part pictured in the its description).

    A single Torx fastener driven through the adapter plate is actually responsible for aligning the whole assembly. It carries lots of strain and requires significant torque to install completely. If you try to torque the fastener by hand, you will strip the head. A high-torque screwdriver with Torx head is a requirement.     …More

    Over-engineered & poor QC

    • Written by from Lewes

    I must have gotten a dud. You have to put a lot of force on the center set bolt, so much so that the torx points started to strip so I gave up. Only one side bolt would align correctly, and with it in place, I could easily see that there was no way the other side bolt was going it due to the NASA-like tolerances milled in this thing. Come on Apple, we're not putting wings on the space shuttle!

    Very well engineered

    • Written by from New Braunfels

    I have to agree with the reviewer that said something about the single Torx fastener that lines everything up. It comes with a Torx wrench and it will do the job, but barely. You have to put a lot of pressure on the metal tool and it nearly starts to round out as you go through the tightening process. But, it did do the job and my monitor is sitting atop an awesome extension arm. Highly recommended, just be careful with the tightening process. …More
