The Chief STS1 is a compact, height-adjustable table stand engineered to provide a secure and stable mounting platform for small flat-panel displays in environments where a permanent wall mount is not feasible or desired. This stand is specifically designed for applications such as reception desks, checkout counters, conference room tables, and retail point-of-sale stations, where the screen needs to be positioned for optimal viewing at a fixed location. Its defining feature is a robust, bolt-down security system that allows the stand's base to be permanently attached to a tabletop or counter surface, preventing theft or accidental displacement while maintaining a clean, professional appearance. This makes it an ideal solution for public or high-traffic areas where equipment security is a primary concern.

Constructed from heavy-duty steel, the STS1 features a telescoping center column that enables easy height adjustment to achieve the perfect viewing angle. The adjustment mechanism is typically tool-operated, allowing for a secure lock at the desired height once set. The stand includes a universal mounting plate that accommodates a wide range of small to mid-sized displays via their VESA mounting patterns. Cable management is integrated into the design, with channels or clips running along the column to neatly route and conceal power and signal cables from the display down to the table surface, contributing to an organized and tidy setup.

Installation involves drilling holes in the tabletop to match the bolt-down pattern on the stand's weighted or flanged base, then securing it with tamper-resistant hardware. This creates a semi-permanent installation that is vastly more stable than a simple freestanding pedestal. The Chief STS1 effectively bridges the gap between full mobility and a fixed wall mount, offering the flexibility of placement and viewing angle adjustment while providing the security and solidity required for public-facing or mission-critical displays. Its low-profile, professional design ensures the focus remains on the screen content, not the mount itself.
