I bought this for my Cintiq 13hd to make it compatible monitor arm. Because of the adjustable nature of it, it did work. As you can see in the photo it did require overlap, which means the monitor is not quite 'flat'. However, to its credit, it does say it's for "frame heights of 10.47 to 16.2 inches"- which this is not. Since it is my fault, and it managed to work anyhow, I will not be detracting stars from the score.
Despite the fact it says 13 inches at the minimum, it's good to note that a 13 inch monitor seems to normally be 9.5 inches or less when maintaining a 16:9 aspect ratio. This would be too small and lead to the necessary overlap I had. It could possibly be suitable for a 4:3 ratio monitor however! Just keep an eye on the measurements in advance.
The product itself seems quality, especially for the low price. The metal doesn't feel thin and I have doubts it'll break. Make sure the screws are tightened as much as once you're 100% sure all is together. I would recommend checking on the hex nuts and tightening it every once in a while for proper maintenance.

As a note about stands: Some VESA plates have open holes and large holes on one side, this can make it harder to put it on, and made me not want to adjust the adapter parts on that side further. That is why I only adjusted the that only used one screw. It would've been more comfortable and easier to assemble / adjust appropriately if they were all just the small holes away from the edge. This is not a fault of the adapter and it does work anyway. Just something to be mindful of. If you're curious, this one is the North Bayou F80.
If you are considering this for a Cintiq 13hd: I used the smallest connector screws. I also kept the default stand on since it added the thickness needed to make it work, plus it adds a layer of 'padding' to hopefully protect the Cintiq from damage and the anti-slip material which might help keep it still. It can also take a bit of time adjusting it to be perfectly snug, but once it was I feel it was secure enough to put it vertically without it falling yet.
