VIVO Flip Down Ceiling Mount for 13-27 inch Flat Screens, Tilt Roof & Under Cabinet Mounting for LCD TVs & Monitors, MOUNT-M-FD27 Review

Installation on the ceiling, as you can imagine, is not pleasant. I have a central ceiling joist which is perfect for the installation and with the long screws provided, fixing the unit to the ceiling is a tedious job - it's actually the easiest part. Installing the TV is the hardest part. It seems easy, but be careful. The supplied TV screws can be very long - do not overtighten the screws! It's okay if they meet. I overtightened two screws and it was a disaster. The problem is that there is…

And the bottom screw is locked with a loop. Problem 2: If you want to use the center mounting holes, prepare to be disappointed. Problem 3: The locking mechanism has a lot of play and does not hold it firmly to the ceiling. I didn't use the cheap mounting hardware that came with it, opting instead for oversized Spax screws…

As others have pointed out, the instruction is useless. Small pictures with arrows; no text. If you're good enough at things, you'll be fine. Don't expect any help from the documentation.
