Monitor Support Clamp for motion rigs

I was always a bit worried about mounting a monitor to a motion platform. Many advise against it but there are some examples on Reddit of people making it work. However, some of the the solutions can be very elaborate/complicated/expensive and I gave up on it till now.

Recently, Thanos (tronicgr) posted a video of how he used 3D printed clamps to support his Samsung G9 monitor. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/l2POymJjYKo. This guy is a legend by the way.

This inspired me to try and come up with something similar for my old Acer 49". I used the Small Vise V2 posted by Bastien (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:628065/files) and added a mounting point and curved the contact surfaces for the bottom of a monitor.

As the vice is fairly large (it can open to over 10cm) it could accommodate a range of other monitors I would think.

I used some left over Logitech speaker mounting hardware from a Trakracer kit to mount this to my sim rig, one on either side of the monitor. (I also repurposed some rubber feet from the sim rig on more of the Logitech mounting hardware to press against and act as a support at the edges of the monitor about half way up). The combination seems quite sturdy. You could just as easily use some aluminium profile to hold the support clamp under the monitor.

Mounting:
The clamp can be mounted with a single M8 bolt as long as it is resting on a support beam or piece of aluminium extrusion. If you want to be kinder to the monitor bezels you could use some felt, foam or double-sides tape inside the clamp. You could add a 3D printed knob for an M8 nut to make it look more finished from the back :).

Other Parts:
1) 2-3 M8 nuts
2) M8 bolt 20mm+
3) Either a long M8 bolt or a cut M8 threaded rod (what I used) ~80mm+
4) Mounting beam or aluminium extrusion to rest on

NB: The slider piece is a little snug so printing at 99% size and/or filing the edges can help it slide into the grooves.

NB2: This is a support only and should be used along with a normal VESA mount for your monitor. It is not enough to mount a monitor by itself.
