Vesa Laptop mount

[Jeremy Poulter]

Hi all,

One of my monitors has recently died so I now have a spare vesa mount point on my monitor stand. 

As a temporary I have been looking at a mount/tray for my laptop, however I am struggling to find one that mounts to the bottom/underneath the vesa mount, most are like this one:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mount-Universal-Notebook-Monitor-Computers/dp/B06WW8NVTK/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=f1cjy&content-id=amzn1.sym.822afc68-e2bb-4420-ac6e-1044cd2e7c1d&pf_rd_p=822afc68-e2bb-4420-ac6e-1044cd2e7c1d&pf_rd_r=DJYY8JEKPMGRQNWHA6R0&pd_rd_wg=y4um5&pd_rd_r=1e9216df-5fea-4a91-8f61-de7a26f2cf11&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mi

and mount to the top of the mount, putting the laptop screen way too high (I can't adjust the mount vertically) 

So does anyone know of a vesa mount for a laptop that would mount the laptop lower? Alternatively what are the options (and practicality) of modifying something like the above to mount lower? eg could I (re)bend the metal in the above by 180 degrees? What equipment would I need for that?

Cheers,

Jeremy

What about manufacturing a simple rectangular metal (or other suitable
material) plate. Drill one set of holes to fit the original mount, and
a second set offset lower down for the laptop mount.

Yeah I think fabrication would be best. I think ee have a sheet bender and we certainly have a welder. If you need some sheet metal I have some in my yard in Earley I've saved from others throwing away
