An Incredibly Solid $5 Arm Mod Solution for The Handy 2
If you are looking for a mount setup for The Handy 2 that is both cheap and highly effective, while also fixing the wobbly issues of traditional arm mounts, here is an extremely sturdy $5 mod that is definitely worth considering:
-
Desk Clamp ($2): A flexible clamp design that expands up to a maximum of 5cm, making it compatible with various desk thicknesses. It features 2 screw holes with a standard 3cm spacing to secure everything firmly.
-
L-Bracket ($2): Uses an L-shaped design (as shown in the picture) to create a rigid frame that holds the device tightly and prevents it from shifting.
* -
Screws & Hardware ($1): The remaining budget is more than enough to get all the necessary screws and nuts for the assembly.
Load Capacity & Real-World Performance: Currently, this setup works incredibly well and remains very stable even when handling a 600g Onahole (a quite tight and snug one). However, to ensure durability and avoid any unintended damage, you should only set the tightness to a moderate level. Avoid overly aggressive or “risky” usage that might exceed the load limits of the clamp and metal bracket.
Overall, for just $5, this design is a perfect and simple alternative that almost completely eliminates the annoying wobble you usually get with standard arm mounts.
Note: My English might not be the best, but I hope this post saves you from aimlessly searching through endless arm mount options. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I’ll gladly help you out with other specs if needed!
