Review on VIVO Black Manual Flip Down Ceiling Mount for Flat πŸ“Ί TVs & Monitors 17-37 Inches (MOUNT-M-FD37B) - Folding Pitched Roof Mounting by Bart Elbrink

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Difficult to install alone

This is great value for money. The main problem I had was that I found it difficult to slide the mounting bracket behind the TV and insert the screws. The instructions should say you need 2 people. It's almost impossible to do it alone. He's holding the TV with one hand and trying to screw in the screws with the other. The instructions say to place the mount behind the TV, this mount has a slider that fits into the top shaft of the ceiling mount. Then install the roof mount without TV on the roof. And it was all easy until the next part. Other brands of brackets I've used in the past have what's called a temporary TV mount, which is like a little lip that goes over the bracket and holds all the weight of the TV in place for you to insert the mounting screws be able. It doesn't have that, so make sure you have a capable body that can help you. Also, the shaft is a bit wobbly after installation, it moves back and forth a bit not very tight. Also, it's cheap for what I need it for.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Only available in black
