Why no pilot holes before lag bolts? You're likely to split the studs without pilot holes.

oh wow, great thought there. I always forget pilot holes.

I have the MM540 (one level below this), and just like this one... the back of your TV is 5.7" away from the wall. Although the functionality of these is excellent... no one ever shows this mount from the side, because I think it's a bit of a deterrent to see the face of your TV sitting 9" off of the wall. If your going to install one of these... I'd suggest that you reconstruct your wall to incorporate a pocket for concealment of the arm/mount. This way your TV can sit flush to the wall.

What is a pocket of consealment and how can I achieve this. Just bought this mount and before I installed it I was considering if I’d like how far out it would be

@@alfiezavala3815 ... If you have room to construct a surround wall for your TV and then drywall it... you could recess this into the wall. You could also reconstruct an existing wall (like above a gas fireplace), and if it's load bearing... add in a header for support (like a window) and recess the TV into that. Both options may be above some skill levels, but it's entirely feasible and not too difficult. Good luck.

Hi, thanks for the video, I have a comment. At 8:42, why did u skipped the process of wiring? What did u do exactly? Was it about the power cable?

Mine is in the box ready to start.

Is it okay to have regular outlet and plugged in, or MUST it be recessed?

Do you have any installation video for MantleMount MM750 Pro with surface mount?

How much did this install cost the customer? I am in Dallas and looking for the same exact install with the power outlet.

If I have my power outlet right in the center above the chimney, do you think I can install the wall bracket a little uncentered and then correct that sliding sideway the TV? Would the whole structure support this unbalanced set up? Thanks!

How do you adjust the hydraulic

Been checking your videos and thanks for sharing. I am planning to buy an 85" and use the MM700 over a mantel that is 5.5" in depth, I am also planning to put a soundbar on the mount. I want to mount it as close as I can to the mantel since I don't want to raise the TV up further, how many inches am I allowed from the mantel to the bottom of the handles (I want to install those) of the MM700?

"swivel" is the side-to-side articulation. "Tilt", which this model also does is for the top TV edge to tilt forward which relatively has the bottom edge go "backward"

wow that shitty flat panel antenna behind the TV LOL, such an expensive home and TV and mount and they are using that garbage, how about getting a nice long range rooftop antenna mounting it on the roof or in the attic and connecting it to a networked tuner like a HD homerun or a fire TV recast and getting a 4k fire stick or an nvidia shield or other android TV box for the TV instead of that crap

I live in a rural area and cable internet isn't offered. Many people can satisfy their need for programming via satellite or internet streaming services through satellite, but those cost a lot of money ($100+/month with low data caps). Some people don't want to pay that and choose to use the HD tuner inside the TV to pick up over-air, local, HD programing for free. That's likely the reason for the "shitty" flat panel antenna.

That's fantastic, because the house that we bought out here a few years ago has an enormous antenna in the attic. They must have installed it during construction. I can't run coax to it without tearing the house apart. The house is filled with spray in foam, and the wires that used to run from the antenna throughout the house have all been cut.
