Can I just attach the strap from the TV straight to the wall? I'm putting it on a mantel so there's nothing to attach it to other than the wall.

You can do that but the extra tie down point seems to provide added security and stability.

Yes it gives you something for that. Just screw it into a stud. The straps are adjustable. It works great.

This is designed for permanent installation but you might be able to modify it. The vertical shaft slides into a horizontal bracket (bracket attaches to TV). The base of the vertical bracket has a swaged "bell" which restrains the tv from falling out. You could cut off the bell portion with a hack saw and insert a "hitch pin".

We had to strap ours to the wall because it would not stand alone. We tried to do it without the straps at first but that did not work at all.

I used The Hillman Group 1/4 in. x 2-1/2 in. Toggle Straps with Screws (6-Pack), purchased at Home Depot. They are holding a 46 inch tv. For a camera you could get away with using a cheaper style wall anchor.

Mine did not come with hardware to attach to a wall, and when I looked at it closely, it might be hard to attach a bracket to do that. We have used velcro straps to connect ours to a couple of different things (railings, a piece of furniture) but it isn't really designed for that.

The TV stand itself is very sturdy. However, its back is not wood and is not thick enough for a Anti-tip safety strap. Better to mount the safety strap to wall.

I don't believe it should be a "hang-over problem, if you CENTER your TV stand, right in the very center of the Convenience Concepts platform. But, if you need a little more security, or worry about your TV falling off, you can purchase some (small) suspension straps, from any of the major, hardware & tool vendors. I recommend: HARBOR FREIGHT.COM or Global Industrial.com. And, it's likely, you may find them, at HOME DEPOT. Make sure, that you get the THIN straps, with the ratchet on the end of the strap. And, make sure that the strap is long-enough to go completely around the TV & the top-shelf of the Convenience stand.

This is intended to be used with another bracket such as LX Dual Side-By-Side Arm however it "could" be used to directly mount to a wall if you wanted it directly flat to the wall, but there would only be about 1/2" between the wall and the tv/monitor which may make it difficult to remove or to fit any cables that don't come out parallel to the wall. Other than that it would be a good solution for a quick flat mount to a wall.

It should not be a problem since the straps connect to the wall mounting holes on the back of the TV.

you can screw it into the wall or an entertainment center. The best choice will depend on your particular setup and needs. They provide enough screws with the straps.

Yes. Notice the picture, the horizontal frame is the backing which attaches to the wall and there are plenty of holes in it to correspond to your stud locations. The two vertical pieces attach to the TV, and you just hang the TV on the horizontal frame attached to the wall. Two man operation at the end though to hang the TV.

I believe you can as there are several mountable gadgets for flat screen TVs. I'm not sure if it will be the same one but you can find a good and reliable one on Amazon. The base piece is for convenience and an added bonus, and not necessarily something that is needed to mount the TV on the wall. My only advice is to make sure you get the right wall unit for your size TV. Hope this helps.

Predrill the mounting holes, hit the studs directly on, and try to have the fasteners enter as close to where the parts that attach to the back of the TV will hang on the wall panel and you should be fine. Since this is a low clearance bracket, if you do not have side hookups on the TV you might want to attach your cables to the TV prior to putting it on the wall. It gets pretty tight back there.

I was looking at the bracket again this morning and maybe there is a way. There are two brackets that screw to the back of the tv, usually they go vertically, if you attach them horizontally it should work. This approach would work with just about any mounting system since they all seem to work on the same principle. The only thing that changes among them is if the tv is fixed or is allowed to swing or move side to side. If you don't need the tv to move, save yourself some money and just buy a fixed mount. Hope this helps.

I have not attached the TV to the stand - just placed it on top & rotate slowly. I would imagine a strap could be screwed into the back of the top shelf, if you wish to prevent tipping. However, a child could conceivably tip the TV AND stand over. Mine is high enough that a kid would have to be old enough not to dump the whole thing over.

Mine is installed using only drywall anchors (100 lb), but I have my TV mounted to the wall above the unit, not standing on the unit. So the anchors only have to hold up the unit itself, and the devices I put on it. No issues so far.

I mounted my tv to the wall. There might be a universal under the cabinet mount you could use.
