Handy 2 Simple Cheap and Sturdy Under-Desk Mount
Just got the Handy 2 with desk mount a week ago as my first electronic toy. Although I am very satisfied with the Handy 2 itself, I was rather frustrated with the desk mount. Never got it mounted in a position and stay there after a couple strokes. After the frustration honestly took me out of the mood a couple of times during my attempts I decided it was a lost cause with those flexible joints on the mount.
I ended up just tossing the desk mount and searching Amazon. Didn't have to look too hard and found a pretty highly rated mount with screws directly attached to the mounting surface. It's around $20 right now depending on which size clamp you'll need and it comes with one lockable ball joint. [Amazon link to the mount --> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTCP55Z6 ] Just using the mount attaches to the top of the Handy 2 kept it pretty steady without swiveling. It does rock a little bit back and forth while doing the motion, but nothing excessive. This is enough to get you by if you don't want to spend any more, though I have on my setup (photos attached)
Since the Handy 2 has two screw attachment points, I figured it'd be better for wear-and-tear to get another ball-joint and attach the mount to both, to keep it steadier and distrubute any stress on the machine. Another ball-joint goes for $12 right now from the same seller. [Link -> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XKW7V14 ] You could buy this alongside the mount, or just buy two mounts in both sizes if you want some more freedom on where you can setup, as they both come with one ball-joint. Attached photos show the mount and joints, as well as the order i screw them in so they all can fit nicely. Keep in mind the ball-joints can have the screw-hole rotate freely for the final step as long as the joint is unlocked.
