Okay but some bad (almost unsafe) design features when installed

Thing is pretty solid and now that it's installed it seems ok but the design leaves a fair amount to be desired on wall mounts/ceiling TVs/monitors (probably a dozen) and this is the only one I've seen that requires you to literally hold the display in place by carefully screwing in and securing the screws. Nothing holds it until the first screws are tightened. In fact, it's impossible without two people, and in the limited space I had, it's difficult even with two. Most models have a hook to…

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • Some little things

Doesn't hold TV securely to ceiling

Very easy to install but locking mechanism is very, very patchy. It basically rests on the back of the mount to rest on a very small ledge to hold the TV to the ceiling. I've pushed the TV into place several times and unless I checked and held it down it has fallen and could hit someone if the TV is lowered. I'm not worried about it falling completely off the ceiling because I was sure I would have hit hard material during installation. This is how the bracket is secured when the TV is not in…

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Hard to tell

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…

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Only available in black

Customer service is poor

I read the reviews before buying as Revain has so many to choose from. The reviews seem good enough to me to buy from this company. Well packaged upon receipt of the goods. I didn't use some of the hardware as it didn't look like it would hold up well to the basement's wood beam. I ended up going to Home Depot to buy equipment. Can not complain. For the price it feels solid and installation wasn't difficult. The only downside is that the panel covers the power cord so I had to cut a piece to…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Insufficient height adjustment

There must be at least three to four more spots on the sides of the vertical bracket to allow the overall height of the monitor to be adjusted, otherwise the monitor/TV will likely hang too low. I ended up drilling additional holes on the sides of the lever and using a couple of metal screws to be able to adjust the lever high enough. The new holes are about 2", 4" and 6" above the top holes in the bracket. I was impressed by how strong the steel I drilled into was, so I'm not worried about…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Repair

Good value for money but don't stand underneath without a helmet.

Yesterday I received and installed this mount. I wanted to be able to mount the TV in front of the treadmill, rotate it so the screen could be seen from the adjacent workout area (for online fitness/yoga classes, etc.), and then elevate it to the ceiling . when not in use as it is in the aisle when lowered for viewing. This mount seemed perfect. And that's almost it. Even before I received it, I was wondering how much I could trust the latch. Well I installed it in the basement so it's tight…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • silent

Not regulated. Must be installed in final position.

Very disappointed with the product received. Descriptions and photos refer to tilt and swivel. That's not the case. In fact, you need to adjust the mount to the desired angle. If you need to adjust the pan or tilt, you literally have to pull out the ladder, remove the TV, remove the product from the ceiling and turn it to the mounting side facing the ceiling to get to the screws, and then use tools Set fresh install with all initial setup steps. Why place the screw heads on top where access is…

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • No result
