Thinking Works Glider Single
One Screen, Balanced
The Glider single (GL-MA-1100) is Thinking Works' gas spring arm for one 17 to 32-inch screen of 3 to 9 kg, straight or curved. The screen lifts, lowers and swings with one hand, tilts 45 degrees each way, swivels 90 degrees each way and rotates through 180 degrees each way, on an arm with 440 mm of full extension.
The VESA head is quick release, so fitting the screen is a lift-on, and cables run along the arm.
Finish and Fittings
Noir Black, White Trim
The Glider comes in one finish, 085: Noir Black arm, base and VESA plate with a white trim. Cable management is built in.
The desk clamp suits worktops 10 to 60 mm thick. The optional Thinking Works laptop tray (VA-MA-1500) is an accessory: choose it in the options above and it ships with the arm.

Frequently Asked Questions
If the screen weighs 3 to 9 kg without its stand, is 17 to 32 inches, straight or curved, and has 75 or 100 mm VESA holes, yes. Use the weight from the maker's specification sheet. Under 3 kg, look at the Vader (from 1 kg); over 9 kg, the 2:22 Curve (to 27 kg flat).
The desk clamp suits worktops 10 to 60 mm thick and needs a clear back edge. If your desk has a modesty panel or beam in the way, call 02 9640 0642 before you order.
Both are Thinking Works gas spring arms for 17 to 32-inch screens, straight or curved. The Glider takes 3 to 9 kg and comes in Noir Black with white trim. The Vader takes 1 to 9 kg, comes in black or white, and has a desk clamp and a bolt-through mount for thicker tops.
The Glider single is one arm on its own desk clamp. If you know you will run two screens, the Glider double puts both arms on one clamp.
No. The Thinking Works laptop tray (VA-MA-1500) is an optional accessory. Choose it in the options above and it ships with the arm; the price shown for that option includes the tray.
