Sanus Advanced Tilt Premium Mount Review

Simplicity Precise positioning of the Sanus VLT6 arm is possible on my off-center wooden stands 16" from the center wall. Good built-in center cutout markers for bracket and template. Precise alignment of the mount was easily achieved using an accurate large 4 foot spirit level. Small 1/16 pilot holes were drilled first to ensure the bracket is accurately centered in the drywall positions. Then the recommended 7/32 drill bit for the required pilot holes. The included 1/2" screws worked great on

So there are cheaper TV mounts out there, but I didn't want to hang a heavy and expensive TV on a $30 bracket. Sanus makes a great product. Everything is well packed. The instructions are amazingly clear and give you a template to find holes in the wall. I was so used to seeing muddled instructions with almost no description of what to do that it was such a pleasant surprise. Separate instructions are provided for concrete structures and/or metal posts instead of traditional wooden posts…

Are you sure you want to trust your new $2,000 TV to a cheap $36 wall mount? You get what you pay for so I'm happy to spend a little more knowing I'm getting a solid construction with quality materials. Pros: Heavy-duty studs = Holds a lot of weight = TV doesn't hum! - Mounts directly over sockets leaving room to plug in if needed (which is why I bought mine) - Mounting slots provide excellent adjustment of mounting position or locating nubs - Tilt feature is solid and stays in place when…

I bought an 85 inch Sony TV and didn't have to turn it right to left. I had many options for installing the TV, but in the end I chose the Sanus because it had a number of features that I knew would help with TV maintenance. An 85 inch TV is heavy so you really want to pick it up and be done with it, but you have to get behind it from time to time or maybe even take it off. I ended up having to do both and was glad I chose this device when it happened. Initially, the block is pressed against…

This was my dilemma: I had an 8" cutout above my fireplace that was only 2" taller and less than 1.5" wider than the TV I was installing in it wanted to. I knew it would be very difficult for me to get him to plug it in and plug in the cables once I plugged it in if I could. I didn't want a full articulation mount as I wanted it to maintain a low profile, but I also knew a standard tilt mount wouldn't fit. I came across Sanus while researching a product and after seeing many positive reviews I…

I cannot praise this product and the service from this company enough. I was very afraid to install a 50" TV above the fireplace (level, the right height, etc.). The last time I installed a TV was 10 years ago. I ordered this VLT6 box on purpose because the TV is an older model and weighs quite a bit (150 lbs. Although it costs a little more than some comparable products, the competition didn't have the weight capacity. The box arrived on time and upon opening found I packaged it very…

If you have metal studs in your wall (are you sure?) you're buying a very expensive and impractical paperweight until you buy a metal stud kit. Yes, and this kit does not include the required washers, so be sure to purchase them separately. Oh, and the washer size is in metric units in the instructions. So make sure you either do a math conversion to US or wait until you get a kit and take the bolt to the hardware store and try a few different washers until you find the right one. . Oh, you'll…

Wow what a difference. First, there is a large gaping hole in the wall mount for cords. A clear plus. I regret using this hole (in hindsight) with my big TV, but oh well. The bottom line is that even with the gaping hole on the SANUS mount, the mount itself is VERY strong. You have designed it very well. I used to like Videosecu brand mounts, which were cheap and pretty good. The design of VS is such that you get 2 pieces and you have to put them together to make a complete bracket. Sanus is a…
