this tv mount is very long and where i wanted my tv on the wall was just off of a stud. So i put the tv mount on the stud but lengthend the wall mount so the tv is exactly where i wanted and no one was the wiser

I believe I have seen people on here talk of putting a board between the studs and anchoring it in the middle. You can use the colors of your walls to make it blend in. We had to secure it to a thin stud..but it has worked out beautifully and is awesome.We have a 43 inch tv.

Hmmm, you would have to create some type of makeshift way to do it. The feet of the unit have slots, apparently for wall hanging, although that would be awkward and the unit would be upside down. If your TV is hanging on a wall bracket, you may be able to install a shelf above or below it. I did that with my television and was able to use L brackets and mount the shelf directly to the top of the TV bracket.

the mount is under the tv, so the only way to mount under anything is with a wall mount attachment sold seperately

You can adjust the mount to anywhere you want. All you need to do is go buy drywall anchors and hang it up.

You won't want to do that with any bracket. The bracket needs to be mounted firmly in place. If you were gonna move the tv that might be ok. But moving the bracket is a BAD idea.

No, the center of the tv is roughly five inches to the right of the bracket center that connects to the stud in the wall. I wish I could provide a photo as I just took one of the bottom of my television with my smartphone. This is, of course, very important for people who need/want to mount their tv in a specific location. This became a bit of a problem for me since I wanted to attach one of those floating vertical shelf brackets for my blu-ray player, etc. directly and centered under the TV using the same stud. I can still do it using butterfly clamps through the drywall but that's not as secure as drilling through the stud in the wall (like I did for my tv).

There are 4 brass screw holes on the back of the TV that aligned perfectly with the mount that I purchased at the same time. IF you don't have any brass inserts in the screw holes then I think that you need to contact the seller and let them know. From the answers I see below that was not a problem that any of those that answered your question seemed to have, including myself.

I don't see a way to make that work with the way the mount is designed. You'll need to mount to two studs.

There is a lot of leeway in regards to where you want to insert the screws into the studs. I would not have any fear or hesitation. I am very pleased with this wall mount.

Hi. I gave this to a friend of mine last Christmas and he went to Lowes and bought wall anchors and stainless screws to mount the unit, as where he wanted it placed did not have wall studs located where needed. He says they worked great.

Same as with any tv mount. Buy 4 toggle bolts from Home Depot, locate the metal studs, drill through, and insert the toggle bolts and wall plate through the metal studs. Look on youtube for videos on how to do this.

The center of the mount on the back of the TV is a little off center to the stud mount that goes on the wall. It's not perfectly center. Plan on measuring a few times. I ended up not using a stud as it wouldn't be where I wanted it. I used a few drywall anchors and it worked how I needed.

I installed it to a stud in the wall,. The screws that came with it are really long. It works just fine for me. Hopefully that helps!

Does not have to be mounted to stud. Instructions are included with unit. If your TV does not come with mounting screws you will have to go buy them. Good bracket for the money

Because its such a heavy duty mount your gonna want to hit a stud. easy way to do it is get a magnet and find a nail. I altered the mount a bit and flipped the plates that hold the wall so the hinge is on the outside. then I mounted them butting the corner to hit the corner studs. I have a 42" TV and it will actually clear the hinge and flush out with both walls. Solid mount.

I'd recommend mounting it to studs, or to anchors if you have a concrete or brick wall. They don't recommend placing a TV on the unit though, even though the TV is shown in the picture. You have to have a separate bracket for the TV.

If the back of the mount is loosened a little bit, you can move the TV around but I would tighten the bolts back up after you found a good spot.
