What is a monitor arm pole mount and how does it work?

A pole mount monitor arm attaches to a vertical post (freestanding or clamped/bolted to the desk) rather than directly to the desk surface. The main advantages: multiple monitors can be mounted on a single tall pole at different heights; the pole occupies one small footprint on the desk rather than a separate clamp for each monitor; and the configuration is more stable for large multi-monitor setups. Pole-mount arms are common in trading desk, CAD, and video production applications requiring 3–6 monitors. The pole itself is typically 1.5"–2" in diameter and attaches to the desk via clamp or grommet.
