Studio Arm for Studio Display AM01

FAQs

• I have already purchased the Studio Display with the standard stand. Can I still use it to the AM01?

  Sure, but it depends on the type of stand you have:

  For the Standard Stand Version (default stand): The original Apple stand cannot be detached, so the monitor cannot be directly mounted on the AM01.

  Solution: You can purchase the dedicated SCS01F adapter to convert to the VESA standard for use with the AM01, or contact Apple Support to inquire about replacing the stand with the VESA version for direct compatibility with the AM01.

  For the Height-Adjustable Version: The original Apple stand cannot be detached, so the monitor cannot be directly mounted, and the SCS01F adapter is not compatible.

  Solution: Please contact Apple Support to inquire about replacing the stand with the VESA version for direct use with the AM01.

• Am I able to install or disassemble the AM01 by myself?

  Due to the considerable weight of the Studio Display and the need for precise alignment during installation, it is recommended that two people work together to complete the monitor arm installation.

• How can I assess whether my desktop environment and workspace are suitable for the use of the AM01/AM02?

  Desktop Material Restrictions: It is recommended to use solid wood, durable engineered wood, or metal desktops. Desktops made of glass, hollow core, or honeycomb structures are more fragile and, therefore, not suitable for monitor stand installation, as uneven stress may cause damage to the surface.

  Desk Edge Structure Restrictions: If the desk edge features a bevel or a large rounded corner exceeding 2.5 cm, the desk clamp may not secure properly. In such cases, a through-desk mounting method is advised.

  Under-Desk Clearance: If there are frames, crossbars, or partitions located too close to the desk edge underneath, the clamp may be obstructed and unable to fasten securely. Under these circumstances, a through-desk mounting solution is necessary.

  Supported Desktop Thickness: The AM01 and AM02 support desktop thicknesses—from 15 mm to 70 mm (0.59" to 2.76")—for both clamp and through-desk mounting options.

  Rear Clearance: If your desk is positioned flush against a wall with less than 11 cm of clearance between the desktop and the wall, the desk clamp may not fit properly. Additionally, please ensure sufficient space to accommodate the stand’s range of motion to prevent collisions with the wall when rotating or adjusting the monitor’s depth.

• Can the cable covers, clips, and management box of the Studio Arm AM01 / AM02 be removed?

  The cable management cover located beneath the rear arm cannot be removed by yourself. To manage your cables, please simply tuck the cords directly into the slot.
  The cable clips located on the side of the column can be removed by yourself; simply snap them back on after organizing the cables.

• Which Apple monitor models are supported by the AM01 monitor stand?

  The following are the supported models for the AM01:

  • 2022 Studio Display VESA Version
  • 2026 Studio Display (XDR) VESA Version
  • 2022 Studio Display Tilt Adjustable Version (requires purchasing the SCS01F adapter)
  • 2026 Studio Display Tilt Adjustable Version (requires purchasing the SCS01F adapter)

  Before purchasing, please note that if your monitor uses the Studio Display Tilt Adjustable Version, the stand cannot be detached.

  We recommend the following options:

  1. Contact Apple support to inquire if the stand can be exchanged for the VESA version, which may involve additional fees.
  2. Purchase the SCS01F VESA Adapter separately for expansion and conversion.

  If your stand is the Tilt- and height-adjustable version, we do not recommend using an adapter solution.

• Are there any recommended cable lengths for cable management?

  The base cable management box is primarily designed to store peripheral cables and does not have any specific cable length requirements.
  For managing cables along the rear arm of the bracket:
  Taking the cables connected directly to the monitor as an example (e.g., if you have 4 Type-C cables), a length of 1.5 meters is recommended if you plan to move, extend, or adjust the height of the arm.

• If my desk cannot accommodate a clamp and does not have a pre-drilled hole, how can I install the INFTYLAB Studio Arm series using the grommet method?

  If the desk is not suitable for using a clamp and there are no existing holes on the desktop:
  The grommet supports desktop thicknesses ranging from 10 mm to 70 mm.
  If the desktop does not have pre-drilled holes, the material must be sturdy enough to allow drilling.
  When using the grommet, the distance between the hole and the desk edge may need to be considered.

  Please note:
  The grommet requires the arm to be fixed in the same position for an extended period. If you frequently need to move the arm or prefer not to leave marks on the desktop, this installation method may not be suitable.
  Common cable management holes on desks typically have sufficient diameter for grommet mounting, but please remember to thread any cables through the hole before securing the mounting bracket.

• Can I skip installing the H-shaped adapter ?

  Yes, you can. Below are the benefits of installing versus not installing the H-shaped adapter plate:
  With the H-shaped adapter installed: You can keep the official, iconic Studio Display logo fully visible, showcasing a consistent and cohesive look for your overall desktop setup.
  Without the H-shaped adapter: You gain a more flexible adjustment range, allowing you to lower the monitor closer to the desk surface for enhanced ergonomic comfort.

• What should I do if my monitor sags after installing a third-party brand?

  If the height is sagging:
  Please confirm that the total weight of all suspended items on the monitor arm falls within the range of 5.8–6.4 kg (12.79–14.11 lbs) or 8–8.6 kg (17.64–18.96 lbs). If the weight is outside these specific ranges, rising or sagging is a normal occurrence. Please return the arm to the sales platform where it was purchased within the return window authorized by your distributor.

  If the monitor tilt is sagging:
  Please confirm that the total weight of all suspended items on the monitor arm falls within the range of 5.8 kg–8.6 kg (12.79–18.96 lbs).
  If it meets this requirement, please use the Allen wrench provided inside the cable management box and adjust it according to the following instructions:
