UPDATE: Please let me know if you want features to be added or if something doesn't quite work for you. I want to make it a better adapter, but it requires further testing with various monitors, which I don't have. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

This is my take on a lightweight and slim solution for a small monitor stand. 

I needed to develop a stand for a 15.6" monitor. Here it is.

It is best to use with 15.6" or smaller monitors but can be used with 17" as well. Just make sure that your monitor has enough clearance and is not super thick since it may tip over. Again, the stand is very minimalistic and thin; it is designed mainly for small and portable monitors, like the one in the picture. If you are not sure if your monitor will work - let me know and I may be able to help you with that.

VESA 75x75 is the requirement for the mounting.

For assembly - any socket head M4x10-15 with 0.5 thread pitch would work, i.e. 18-8 from McMaster-Carr.
