Review on Omnimount NPT12 Inch Pipe Extender by Jarod Berthelson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A few installation tips: TV ceiling and wall mount

This is an amazing mount that I have never seen before. However, it requires some work to be successful. First you need to add structure to the ceiling where the mount will be placed (e.g. crossbeams, sandwich panels with studs, lintel or whatever) to ensure that the unit is securely and securely attached to the ceiling. The only downside I've found is that the mount doesn't adjust vertically and this doesn't live up to everyone's expectations. You may not have a problem with a fixed drop distance for your situation. I solved the problem by replacing the included drop arm with a 1&1/2" x 12" pipe from the local hardware (you can take the swing arm to the hardware to cut it to length and attach the pipe to recut). So the top of my 47" Sony LCD set 8" from the ceiling instead of about 24 inches which the included hand would give me.

Pros
  • TV ceiling and wall mount
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
