Review on Ubiquiti Machine ALLICAVER Bracket Compatible by Jim Ball

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Bad mounting screw position

Good for the first time. It's durable, well built and powder coated. Feels pretty solid and strong and definitely able to hold my UDM until it stops. The bad news, given the weight of the UDM and the weight of this mount, I wouldn't want to mount it with simple drywall anchors. You should get it in a hairpin. Unfortunately, the location of the screw holes leaves no room for error; Without drilling a few pilot holes (which is easy to do) and making sure the screws go straight into the stud, straight, at a 0 degree angle to the left or right, you're left with just two solid mounting points at best. See attached photos for reference. I have the bracket already installed and unfortunately not shown in the center of the stud. When I centered it, it was pretty obvious that the wood on the left and right was splitting and not providing a good grip. So it's possible that all three screws will fit in the rack, but that's unlikely. If they just moved the top two 1/4" screw holes closer together I think you would have a much more secure mount. I really hope that one day I won't find my UDM on the floor. I recommend buying better quality drywall anchors, making sure the two screws are tight in the stud, and considering drilling pilot holes first to avoid splitting the wood.
