Design and Build Quality

The Huanuo mount uses powder-coated steel construction that feels solid but not overbuilt. The steel thickness is slightly thinner than the Loctek D7D but comparable to the NB North Bayou H100. The matte black finish is uniform and durable. The C-clamp is well-designed with a large hand-tightening knob and thick rubber pads that prevent desk scratches. The grommet mounting plate is included as an alternative.

The gas spring mechanism is housed internally in each arm. The arms are asymmetric in length — one is slightly longer, providing staggered positioning flexibility. The VESA plates use a tool-free spring clip design that makes attaching and detaching monitors much easier than screw-based systems. This is a standout convenience feature at this price point.

However, the gas spring tension adjustment requires an Allen key (included) and is accessed through a small hole on the arm. The adjustment range is less refined than the Loctek D7D — some users find it difficult to achieve perfect balance, particularly with mid-weight monitors (4–5kg). The spring tends to either be slightly too strong (monitor rises) or too weak (monitor sags).

💡 “The price is really appealing — ¥228 for a dual monitor mount. Build quality is good for this price range, easy to install. Gas spring adjustment was a bit fiddly, got my 24-inch monitor balanced about right. Overall great value for money.”

Performance and User Experience

Range of Motion

The Huanuo mount offers 360° rotation at the base, 180° arm articulation, and an impressive ±45° tilt range — significantly more tilt than the Loctek D7D’s ±15°. This extra tilt is useful when using monitors in portrait mode or positioning screens at extreme angles. The vertical travel range is approximately 22cm per arm. The horizontal reach extends 43cm from the mounting pole.

Stability

At normal desk usage, the Huanuo mount holds monitors securely. However, at maximum horizontal extension with heavier monitors (7–8kg), there is noticeable wobble when typing or accidentally bumping the desk. This is expected at this price point — the steel is thinner and the gas spring less precisely damped than premium arms. For stable positioning, keep the arms within 30cm of the mounting pole.

Cable Management

The cable management channels are built into each arm with snap-on covers. The channels are functional but narrower than the Loctek D7D — running two thicker cables through a single arm can be a tight fit. The covers snap on securely and stay in place better than some competitors. A Velcro strap is included for bundling cables at the base.

💡 “Used for three months, two 27-inch monitors are generally acceptable. Some wobble when fully extended to the right, but centered positioning is stable. Can’t ask for too much at this price. Installation was convenient, done in 20 minutes.”

What Chinese Users Say

User Ratings (Aggregated from JD.com): Overall 4.5/5 ★ (6,300+ reviews)

Quote 1 — 杨* ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** 💡 “Great value, ¥130 cheaper than Loctek. Fully sufficient for normal home use. Clamp is very secure, angle adjustment is convenient. Cable channel design is reasonable, keeps the desk tidy. Recommended for budget-conscious friends.”

Quote 2 — 黄* ⭐⭐⭐⭐** 💡 “Overall quality is worth the price, slightly better than the NB H100. Gas spring is best suited for monitors around 5kg — too light and it springs up, too heavy and it sinks. Needs time for fine-tuning.”

Quote 3 — 吴* ⭐⭐⭐** 💡 “Cheap price, acceptable build quality. But QC is a concern — one of the gas springs I received had a slight noise issue. Replaced and it was fine. Another downside: no screwdriver included, need your own tools.”

Quote 4 — 张* ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** 💡 “Second purchase. First was a single arm, now got the dual arm for my secondary setup. Smooth operation, easy adjustment. At this price, it’s really a good deal. People wanting to upgrade their desk setup can start with this.”

Pros and Cons

±45° tilt range — excellent for portrait mode	Wobble at full extension with heavier monitors
Tool-free spring clip VESA plates	Thinner steel than Loctek D7D
Good 8kg per arm capacity	Cable channels narrower than competitors

FAQ

1. Is the Huanuo mount better than the NB North Bayou H100?

They are very close in quality. The Huanuo has better tilt range (±45° vs ±30°) and slightly better cable management. The NB H100 has marginally better gas spring tuning. At ¥228, the Huanuo is ¥51 cheaper, making it the better value pick.

2. Will it support a 32-inch monitor?

The spec says up to 30”, but some 32-inch monitors under 8kg will work. However, the gas spring may struggle to balance heavier monitors — 27” is the sweet spot for this arm.

3. What tools are needed for installation?

You need a Phillips head screwdriver for the C-clamp and VESA plate screws. The gas spring adjustment requires the included Allen key. Some users report needing a small wrench for the clamp bolts.

4. Can I mix different sized monitors on the arms?

Yes, each arm is independently adjustable. You can mount a 27” on one arm and a 24” on the other. Each arm has its own gas spring that can be tuned to the specific monitor weight.

5. Does the mount wobble during typing?

With monitors positioned close to the center pole, wobble is minimal. At full extension, some vibration transfers from desk movement. The mount is best suited for stationary use where you don’t frequently bump the desk.

The Huanuo Dual Monitor Mount offers impressive value for budget-focused users who need a functional gas spring mount without overspending.
