It clamps to the edge of your desk and lifts one monitor off the surface. It supports VESA 75x75mm and 100x100mm, screens from 13 to 30 inches, and loads up to 18 lbs (8.2 kg). It is a basic arm for anyone who wants to float one ordinary 24-27 inch monitor and angle it freely. It will not work for ultrawides larger than 30 inches or for heavy monitors. On paper, the arm tilts from +40° to -90°, rotates ±90°, and swivels 360°. The ±90° rotation lets you switch between landscape and portrait (pivot) mode, which is useful for reading code or long documents. As the listing name says, it is meant for curved screens as well as flat ones. co. It is not enough to spot patterns in unit-to-unit variation or fit problems, so treat it with some caution. ## What the Specs Tell You | Item | Spec | What it means | |---|---|---| | VESA Patterns | 75x75mm, 100x100mm | Larger patterns such as 200x200mm are not supported | | Screen Size Range | 13-30 inches | 34-inch ultrawides are out of range | | Weight Capacity | 18 lbs (8.2 kg) | Judge by the monitor's weight without its stand | | Tilt Range | +40° to -90° | Up 40°, and all the way down to face the floor | | Rotation Range | ±90° | Supports portrait (pivot) mode | | Swivel Range | 360° | Easy to turn the screen toward someone beside you | | Mounting Type | Table-top clamp | Grips the edge of the desk | | Color | Gray | May stand out on an all-black setup | The most important line in this table is the 8.2 kg weight limit. Matching VESA holes do not help if the monitor is too heavy. Running close to the limit can also make the screen slowly droop forward over time. The spec allows a lot of downward tilt, but whether the arm holds that angle depends on the monitor's weight and balance. With heavier monitors, check the joint tension as you adjust. ## Compatibility Guide ### VESA mounting holes First, check the back of your monitor for four screw holes spaced 75x75mm or 100x100mm apart. VESA screws are usually M4. Most mainstream monitors have these holes. Some ultra-slim, design-focused models and all-in-one PCs do not. Those need a separate adapter, and the adapter's weight counts toward the load limit. ### Curved monitors Curved screens are supported, but some have a curved back or recessed screw holes. Then the screws may be too short, or the mounting plate may hit the back panel. The safest fix is to use the spacers that come with the monitor, or the screws its maker specifies. Do not force the screws: turn them by hand and stop when they tighten, or you may strip the threads. ### Checking the weight Monitor spec pages often list two weights: with stand and without stand. The arm limit should be compared with the **without stand** figure. Some buyers wrongly rule a monitor out using the with-stand weight. Others forget to add accessories. If you add a monitor light, a webcam, or a mini PC mounted behind the screen, include their weight too. ### Screen size The supported range is 13 to 30 inches. Common 24- and 27-inch monitors fit. 34-inch ultrawides and monitors of 32 inches or more do not. Some 27-inch models are heavy, such as those with built-in speakers or high-refresh gaming panels, so check the weight rather than relying on screen size alone. ### Desk clamp The arm mounts with a clamp on the desk edge. **The supported desk thickness is not included in the data we have. ** Confirm it on the product page or in the manual. A support frame, drawer, or modesty panel right under the edge can block the lower part of the clamp. Avoid glass desktops, which can crack. Thin particleboard or hollow-core desks can dent under clamp pressure, so a backing plate is a good idea. ## Product Info RICOO is a German accessories brand, and the TS1611 is its single-monitor arm, finished in gray. On Amazon. co. jp, the listing names RICOO as the manufacturer. The seller and shipper is a marketplace seller, はるめぐりSHOP, not Amazon itself. Check the seller's page for return terms and delivery times. As for price, the figure our system captured in September 2026 was implausibly high for this kind of monitor arm. For that reason, this article does not quote a specific price. Prices change a lot, so check the product page for the current price. The original listing says a cable management clip is included. However, we could not confirm the full box contents or the warranty period from the data we have. Check the listing before you buy. ## Setup Tips The exact steps depend on the design, so follow the manual first. In general, this order helps avoid mistakes: 1. **Remove the monitor's stand and check the VESA holes and weight.** Lay the screen face down on a soft cloth. 2. **Loosely clamp the arm to the desk and find the right spot.** Make sure the screen centers in front of you and leaves room for the keyboard, then tighten fully. 3. **Attach the mounting plate to the monitor first.** Holding a heavy monitor in the air while driving screws is how drops happen. Work with two people if you can. 4. **Set the angle, then tidy the cables.** Test rotation and swivel, leave enough slack so nothing pulls tight, then bundle the cables with the clip. 5. **For portrait mode, rotate the image in your OS.** On Windows, go to Display settings and change the display orientation. For the first few days, the joints may settle and the screen may sag slightly. Check and re-tighten them after a few days. ## Arm vs. Riser Stand Besides an arm, you can raise a monitor with a riser stand that simply sits on the desk. A riser needs no tools, works on any desktop, and often adds storage underneath, but the screen angle and depth are basically fixed. An arm like the RICOO TS1611 frees up the desk surface and lets you change tilt, rotation, and swivel freely. The trade-off is that you need a desk the clamp can grip. Choose a riser if you only need a little extra height or do not want to clamp anything to your desk. Choose an arm if you want a clear desk, portrait mode, or easy screen sharing. For two monitors, this is a single arm, so you would need a dual riser or two arms. ## Who It's For - **People who want to float one 24-27 inch monitor and free up desk space.** Removing the stand base alone gives you noticeably more room for a keyboard and papers. - **People who switch between landscape and portrait.** With ±90° rotation, you can go vertical for coding or long documents. - **People who often show their screen to others.** The 360° swivel makes it easy to turn the screen toward someone beside or behind you. - **First-time monitor arm buyers.** If your setup fits the simple VESA 75/100 and 8.2 kg limits, it is easy to adopt. ## Before You Buy **Be careful with the listed price. ** The price our system captured in September 2026 was far too high for this product class. It may have picked up another product or a bundle, or the seller's price may have changed temporarily. On the product page, confirm that the images and title show model TS1611, then judge by the current price. Because the listing title is a long string of keywords, it is easy to confuse with similar listings for other models. **Monitors over 30 inches, or over 8.2 kg without their stand, will not work. ** Larger VESA patterns such as 200x200mm are not supported either. If you use 27 inches now but plan to move to 32 inches or more, an arm with a wider range may save you from buying twice. **The height adjustment method and range are not in the specs we have. ** Do not expect the easy one-hand up-and-down movement of a gas-spring arm. If you pair it with a sit-stand desk and change height often, check how the height is adjusted on the product page first. **Check your desk. ** Thickness, any frame or drawer under the edge, and the desktop material decide whether the clamp will fit. Without a clampable desk, a monitor arm is not an option. Think carefully before loading it close to its limit. ## FAQ **Q. Can I mount a 27-inch monitor? ** A. Yes, the size is within range. It will fit if the VESA pattern is 75x75mm or 100x100mm and the monitor weighs 8.2 kg or less without its stand. **Q. Does it work with curved monitors? ** A. Yes, curved screens are supported. However, some have recessed screw holes and need spacers. Check what came with your monitor. **Q. Can I use portrait mode? ** A. Yes. With ±90° rotation, it supports portrait (pivot) mode. After rotating, change the display orientation in your OS. **Q. Will it hold a 34-inch ultrawide? ** A. No. It supports screens up to 30 inches, and weight would also be a problem. Choose an arm built for large monitors. **Q. What if my monitor has no VESA holes? ** A. It cannot be mounted as is. You will need an adapter from the monitor maker or a universal adapter. Include the adapter's weight in the load limit. ### Product Disclosure (Amazon) - Manufacturer: RICOO - Seller: はるめぐりSHOP - Fulfilled by: はるめぐりSHOP - ASIN: B07DDMJQZD - Note: This article covers a manufacturer-made product based on Amazon listing details.
