Raise Screen? [Any third party solution to raise screen height?]

[Scubadriver]

I know there are lots of swivel mounts available. Are there any mounts that would raise the screen about 1 1/2 to 2 inches. I'm relatively tall and it would be nice to bring it up a little closer to my field of view, being relatively tall.

Unfortunately I don’t think any vendor will release a product for that. If you’ve seen the install video of a swivel mount you’ll see the screen can only go lower unless you design a bracket that connects to the base, goes forward, then upward, then forward and connects to the screen. To make sure it doesn’t wobble the bracket needs to be pretty thick meaning it will push the screen a lot closer to you (1cm thick aluminum for example, it will push the screen forward by ~ 5cm), then you’ll have to worry if the screen harness is long enough. A new bracket and harness cover also needs to be designed. For the price of this stuff it will cost as much as the swivel mount so they’d better add that functionality to the mount too.
In the end you get a mount that raises the screen, pushes further to you, and more expensive than current swivel mounts. I highly doubt any vendor is willing to go thru the R&D for a product like this.

So my advice is: sit lower

I’d love to adjust the height too.

Ditto.

The wiring harness to the screen is short. There would need to be some kind of extension.

The swivel mount not only goes left to right, but also upward and downward. Max 40° Angle for both directions, the one I am using is also able to swing simultaneously. Does it mean the height raised?

Wow! You’re all decked out! What swivel mount do you have?

Your screen turns into a full on table!

Any updates on this? The screen swivel I installed on our MY makes it about 1.5" lower than stock I'd rather have it go up instead. I'm thinking of reversing it but maybe the cables not long enough and I suppose it would tilt down at that point which might be weird.

Awesome thanks! Looks like I have a cheap knock off of an older version. Maybe it's time to return that for the real thing.

Thanks for the link, but unfortunately, it doesn't raise the screen any.

Lapsmith,
Watch again.
The guy said the Plus version raises and moves screen to the right.
