Product Summary
The VideoSecu ML10B is a lightweight articulating TV wall mount that is well suited for small to medium sized flat screen PC monitors or LCD TVs. The single arm with elbow and wrist joints can extend about 12" and has a full 180° pan capability.

The mount is constructed of aluminum alloy and is rated up to 33lbs. It can accommodate most 15"-20" screens and quite possibly larger. Check your TV's weight and mount dimensions. The ML10B is 75mm and 100mm VESA compatible.

Installation is straightforward, requiring just two screws against a single stud. Pay close attention to arm alignment when positioning the base plate against the wall. As is common with many single arm designs there is a small amount of "give" in the arm joints that can cause the TV screen to lean slightly, either up or down, especially when the arm is at full extension.

Unfortunately, there is no level adjustment in this mount. You can compensate by making sure the arm joints are tight, but this will make movements stiff and cumbersome. If you plan on using the mount in the extended position most of the time a different approach is needed.

Attach the TV to the mount first and then carefully position the base plate against the wall stud, making sure the TV is completely level while the arm is fully extended. Use a bubble level along the top edge of the screen to check this. Mark the position of the base plate's mounting holes and drill accordingly. The trade off is this will result in the base plate being slightly out of plumb.

If you're trying to center the TV on a wall, be aware that the center line of the base plate is different to that of the TV when the arm is in the folded position. Be sure to allow for this before you start drilling.

For a simple, low cost pre-assembled wall mount for a home office, RV or kitchen, the VideoSecu ML10B is ideal.
