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.
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!
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"
@@morefire1966 ... there are couple of models, depending on TV size. I have the one that fits a 75" TV. I don't recall the model number, but I think it drops 28"??? If you go to their website... they have all of the info on distance from the wall, drop, etc...
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.

@@andreamitchell4758 ... Ah.... very cool. I guess I misunderstood your rant. I apologize. I never knew that you could set up a wireless connection to your antenna without running cable. 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.

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.
Mine is in the box ready to start.
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?
Is every thing wired "in correctly" or "incorrectly"?
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!
power cord should have been lower down on the wall by about 1 foot. Oh well
how's come?

Did you do it??
@@ChristopherX30 no, turns out my fireplace doesn't have enough studs to mount an 85. I returned the mount
How much did this install cost the customer? I am in Dallas and looking for the same exact install with the power outlet.
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 did u get it threw arround that corner
Great job guys. Question. Are you licensed or need to be licensed to add an electrical outlet?
It's usually required for most companies that install outlets that they be high voltage certified.
If it is your house , you dont need a license or certification.
How do you adjust the hydraulic
Does it come with a bracket to attach a sound bar speaker to the bottom?
Yes.
People still use antennas?
There are people who want to receive over air, high def, local channels because they don't want to pay a cable bill.
The cable cutters!
Yes , never pay for cable
howcome the mount is so hard to pull down at first without the tv mounted on?
Because the weight of the tv makes it go down easier.
My really hard to pull down please help
Pull harder
Should have shown how it can tilt from side to side
"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"
How to install it when there are no studs in the right place?
Put a piece of plywood behind the tv that will reach the two studs.
AH, very good thought there, hmmm, in fact, great thought. Can this be done on a brick fireplace?@@michaelhinchey
@@dabneyoffermein595 on a brick fire place you dont need studs. just what i think
Can this work for a corner fireplace? does it swivel side to side?
If you haven't gotten one yet... you can select 35 degrees in either direction, or 60 degrees in one direction. The choice is yours.
@@footnotedrummer how far can it go down?
@@morefire1966 ... there are couple of models, depending on TV size. I have the one that fits a 75" TV. I don't recall the model number, but I think it drops 28"??? If you go to their website... they have all of the info on distance from the wall, drop, etc...
It's nice no doubt...but 500 for a wallmount?
Nope.
The MM540 was just on sale for $280. It's still expensive, but no other mount provides this kind of build quality or functionality.
@@footnotedrummer there was another company that made a similar mount for 100 bucks. But I just tried to find them and it looks like they are gone.
@@Will_b83 there is a reason their gone ..
I got mine open box for 330 shipped.
@@781luis you’re right…most people aren’t dumb enough to pay ridiculous prices for wall mounts.
I wonder how they got past the studs with the wire. This video is a waste of time.

@@footnotedrummer i didn't say not to receive OTA channels , i said if you are going to do it then get a decent antenna
i am cord cutter myself and i am using roof top antenna and i have it connected to a fire TV recast and i have fire sticks on all my TV's so i only need one antenna, it doesn't cost anything to use a networked tuner you don't need cable internet
because i am pretty sure the streaming from the recast goes over local network
but there is also a the HD homerun networked OTA tuner too
but you don't even have to use that
you can just use an antenna but not that crappy pancake one, a decent roof top one and you can mount it in the attic if you don't want to go up on the roof
and if you live in a rural area then you would definitely benefit from roof top antenna , those pancake ones aren't going to do shit if you are far out from the stations
also the benefit of using a fire TV recast and fire TV sticks is that you can get OTA wirelessly without needing to run a coax from the roof antenna to the TV and to every TV , you just connect the antenna to the networked tuner and then the OTA channel get rebroadcast over wifi ,so no wires going to the TV other that power for the fire stick

To a wall outlet and then the coax from the antenna needs to be connected , then you connect it to your wifi with the fire tv app
It's also DVR
Then get fire tv sticks for the TV's you want the get the OTA channels on
It even works with alexa from either the fire tv remote or any echo device , you can ask it to tune to whatever channel by voice ,even without the remote if you have an echo dot or other echo speaker
@@andreamitchell4758 ... I'd imagine it also increases your radio signal massively???
