VIVO Electric Ceiling TV Mount for 23 to 55 inch Screens, Flip Down Motorized Pitched Roof VESA Mount, MOUNT-E-FD55

Easy install and works very well. Impressive quality, seems very rugged and operates very smoothly.

Works great, although sometimes the remote doesn't seem to work when you're trying to get it to position 1 (the saved position). The main purpose of this review is to let anyone know that is looking at this, that you CAN DIRECTLY mount a tv with 200x100 VESA pattern to it. It mounts to the center place, you don't even need to install the wings. I ended up buying an adapter plate because the Q & A's for this item have statement saying that you cannot directly mount a 200x100 tv to it. That is false, don't waste another 20 bucks on an adapter that you don't need!As far as the product goes, I thought I wouldn't like how slow it moves, but's it's actually elegant IMO and because mine is mounted in my gazebo on a slanted roof, it's pretty quick as it only has to move down about half way for the position of the tv to be in the proper position. None of the other manual mounts I saw seems to have a good ability to stop before hitting 90 degrees down, and mine is so high up that I would have needed a ladder to get the tv down and up, anyway. For that right there, this is worth the money. Solid product, just trying to figure out why the remote works sometimes, and not others.....could be the receiver position or something. All in all, I would recommend this product, even though it costs more than the roku tv I mounted to it!

I was going to have surgery and be in bed for up to 6 wks. Had nowhere in the room to put tv until i say this. My love bought it for me and installed. The only hard part was the electrical but he did that too. It was worth it as it works perfect. highly recommend this one. I have a 55" tv on it, raises and lowers without any problem.

I just finished mounting this a few days ago to accommodate a 55” 4K television. The TV weight was about 38 lbs. so it’s well within specs.Mounting the assembly was straightforward and simple (just make sure you measure how close you are to any roof/wall intersections to accommodate for the TV when it is all the way up). The mount itself performs quite well, though I would have preferred just a bit more motor speed through range of motion. Not a big deal but certainly a design feature that could be improved. I really liked the cable troughs that help route wire from behind the mount to the front. This comes in tremendously handy if you want a clean look and no wires showing along the mount itself. An area of improvement here would be to set the wiring gaps closer to the outside edge of the troughs to accommodate thicker cables. Most HDCP 2.2 compliant 4K HDMI cables capable of transferring signals at 18+ Gbps tend to be thicker and less flexible, but are necessary for maximizing signal transfer to the TV. Not to mention, the troughs themselves could be a little thicker and still serve their purpose perfectly.The one and only feature to this product that I found absolutely frustrating - and the reason for four instead of five stars - was the fact that the mounting arm moved when trying to place the television onto it through the slide hole in the arm. The slightest pressure against the arm itself and it pushed backwards, making a single (or even two person) person job quite the chore. I ended up using cable ties to lock the moving arms together so this didn’t happen.Other than that, I have no complaints. The mount functions well, though it does wiggle slightly (could cause a bit of fear for others) and seems unstable. It isn’t, but I suppose you need some slack so that the joints in the swivel arms are able to work properly.Either way, I’d be hard pressed to say you will find a more suitable, versatile, and capable mount for ceiling application, ESPECIALLY in this price range.Thanks to Vivo and please keep up the good work.

This is just what I needed. It goes in my basement, in front of treadmill etc which face the open room where no walls are nearby. My ceiling is unfinished so the joists are exposed which is nice. I need it mounted ACROSS the joists. If this is your scenario so far, this story's for you.The mount does not have holes 16" apart, so I cut a piece of pine shelving 3/4" x 9" x 23" and fastened that to the joists with my own lag screws about 1/2" longer than Vivo's, to make up for the 3/4" lost getting the screw past the pine board. Probably overkill for a 17 lb 43" Roku tv but not a gamble that interests me.You don't need the full 9" width but I did need the 23" length, so that the mount's main support (the keyhole openings) attach directly thru the pine board into the front joist, while the rear end of the board reaches just past the rear joist. And the front end reaches the front mounting holes. (picture)Tip: I first tacked the board into place with a 1" picture-hanging nail in each joist, just enough to hold it up but easy to pull the board off if ever needed. That made drilling and setting the 4 lag screws into the 2 joists much easier, and hit every joist center. (pretty sure one screw in the rear would have sufficed) Lastly I put my own 1" wood screws in all the other mounting holes. None of this is in the manual and the parts aren't included.And it works great. I don't mind the slow movement. It's kind of elegant even. Very quiet. Also, I use preset 1 to raise it just enough for a 6'3" person to walk under (my ceiling is 8'). Cuts the motion time in half. Preset 2 takes it up just parallel to the floor. Turns out the up button (all the way up) takes it a litte past parallel and relies on the physical cutoff switch to stop it. Neither of which I want. Minor complaint: I'd like it to descend a bit lower, but not a big deal.The remote is RF. I think the complaints about the remote from 2 years back or more were an IR remote. IR you have to point at the receiver, RF you don't. I've had no trouble with mine so far (very early). Now, if the MOTOR craps out like it has for others, I'll be back to take some stars off.
