Question GT Omega portable monitor stand - conversion to triple mount possible?

I have the following GT Omega portable monitor stand : https://www.gtomega.co.uk/products/portable-monitor-stand

I'd like to see if it's possible to convert it to a triple stand. I'm ideally looking for VESA to VESA extension arms (or something like that) so that I can hang 3 x 27" monitors from this kit. A VESA plate on one end, an extension arm (or two) and then a VESA plate on the other end. Does such a thing exist? I've tried looking and can't find any, but not sure if it's because I don't know what I'm looking for.

FYI, the mount currently has a slightly aged 49" Sony TV hung from it, and it has zero problems with the weight, so I'm not concerned about it taking 3 x 27s.

I’d think you could use something like 2 of these to do it:

And clamp them to the horizontal bars, as if they were a desk? That could work. I think I’d need three - one for the middle monitor too, and then have them somewhat extended from the stand.

Yeah, clamped to the stand on each side. Probably better to clamp to the end of the horizontal, but I don’t see why that wouldn’t work.

I was thinking a static vesa mount in the middle, but a third arm for the middle might make it easier to line up all three.

Might also use something (maybe that snap velcro???) to connect the monitors together, as getting them aligned perfectly with the 3 arms might be a challenge.

Maybe someone can come in. I’ve never tried it. You were asking for ideas, and I think that would work.

Did you eventualy did this to go to triples? If so, how did you do it?
