Sanus Systems VMAA18S Universal Articulating Mount for 30″ to 50″ Displays (Silver)
Friday, July 31st, 2009
The product itself is very good and I am VERY happy with the flexibility it offers to move/pivot the TV around. The two issues I had regard installation.
I mounted mine into a brick wall fireplace and bought mason anchor bolts with sleeves from Lowe's, only lag bolts for stud mounting come with the kit. However once I got the TV on the mounting plate, the anchor sleeves started slipping out. To solve this I bought a tube of Loc-tite industrial adhesive, the kind you need a caulk gun for (about ). Filled the anchor holes with it, put the sleeves/bolts/plate back on and let it set for 24hrs - no issues with slippage after that.
The other issue is getting the tv bracket on the mounting plate. I have a 46" lcd tv and it was definitely a three man job. Part of this may have been due to moutning it in a corner, so the arm had to be bent 90 degrees. It looks easy to get the arm on the plate, but once the TV is attached its pretty difficult. Again maybe this is easier if the arm is straight.
All in all though it is a great mount. Great flexibility for viewing options.

great wall mount
One of the very best i've ever seen... not so easy to install, but once up, you'll be thrilled!
quality mount
this mount is very sturdy and easy to install. as a audio/video tech i have used it many times and would recommend it to anyone. nobody makes a better mount then sanus.
Mr.
I had to cut the support bars, being a universal mount in all, there were no directions about how to accomplish this feat. One bar made two with much room to spare. The holes for the security screws on the bottom of the mount were not tapped, and the screws for the swing limiter were not included in the kit. What should have been a straight forward install turned into a three hour ordeal including trips to the hardware store.
Once together the mount is a thing of beauty, it works perfectly!!!! I would recommend this mount to anyone and everyone.
As a side note; I built a special wall for this mount and TV to hang on so I solid blocked the wall and added extra mounting bolts to the mount, probably not needed but the blocking was there so why not.
Great Product
This product was easy to install and holds my 42" LCD quite well. Easy to move and change positions.
