What is the centerline offset of the wall plate &amp; TV mount plate when the mount is fully collapsed?

There is no offset. The tv and the plate it is mounted on are centered with the wall plate when retracted. Because there are two arms and three swivel points you can maintain this center at all distances as you expand it away from the wall. It pulls out far enough out that a 52 inch TV can be rotated to 90 degrees. Hope this answers your question.

the mounting plate is attached to the arm by means of a knob that is connected to the mounting plate which has ribs in it. to tilt just loosen the knob and tilt TV to the desired position and then retighten the knob. hope this helhelps.

The mount is great. It pulls out to 26.5 inches. When you drill your holes in the wall, just make sure you use a level to make sure you are horizontal. When you attach the TV to the mount, you can move it horizontal along the mount to make sure it is level. If you have the TV to far to the left or the right it will be off center. You will like the mount. It is very flexible.

Ray: The closest distance from the wall to the back of your TV is ABOUT 3 inches. I can't measure it exactly because mine is mounted a bit too close to a corner to fold it completely flat.

With the arms fully extended there is a bit more than 20" between wall and the center of the mount, so if your TV is no more than 40" wide (less than ~46" diagonal) it could be rotated 90 degrees.

There are two allen head screws that secure the vertical arms (secured to the TV) to the horizontal plate (secured to the wall). These seem to prevent the unit from being accidentally dislodged ;however, on my unit they do not absolutely eliminate the possibility of the TV being moved left/right. It seems unlikely that "small, curious hands" could facilitate this.

Don't do it. My 75lbs plasma caused the mounting plate to twist allowing the whole Tv to angle forward. Recommend you look for professional grade mount for that size.

You can take the stand off of the TV and loosen the screws a little bit so that you can move the mount around and make sure it is level. Tighten the screws back up before putting the TV back on the stand, and make sure your TV is secure and won't fall over while you are adjusting the stand. :)

Yes, but your issue is whether 2 studs are where you want the TV placed. As the wall plate is about 19", it means you can have a maximum offset of about 3" from a stud (16" OC). If you want to slide (side-to-side) the TV more than 3", you will need a mount with a longer wall plate. There's one with a 27" wide plate which means you can mount it (one arm) almost 11" from a stud vs. 3" of this mount.

No, the center of the tv is roughly five inches to the right of the bracket center that connects to the stud in the wall. I wish I could provide a photo as I just took one of the bottom of my television with my smartphone. This is, of course, very important for people who need/want to mount their tv in a specific location.This became a bit of a problem for me since I wanted to attach one of those floating vertical shelf brackets for my blu-ray player, etc. directly and centered under the TV using the same stud. I can still do it using butterfly clamps through the drywall but that's not as secure as drilling through the stud in the wall (like I did for my tv).

NOT CENTERED! Mount the unit 5 inches RIGHT of the center line where you want the TV centered... When collapsed the TV will than be centered. Aprox 13 inches will be LEFT of the center line. If needed secure a piece of 3/4" plywood to the studs you need to hit. Then bolt the unit to the plywood remembering you need 13 inches to the left of center.

I just measured mine which is as yet uninstalled. When the mount is fully extended and turned 90 deg, you have slightly less than 18" between the wall and the center of the mounting plate. According to my estimates, you should be able to turn a TV 90 deg as long as the total width of the unit is 36" or less. Hope that helps.

As long as the mount was installed close to level you can tilt the tv slightly. I think +\- 3 degrees? I can't remember off hand

The tilt for this product is -5/+15, so it tilts 15 down. The product sticks out between 1.7-1.8" (43-46mm) from the wall depending on the tilt angle. The installation is very easy simple attach the 2 arms to your VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV, and then snap into the plate on the front of the mount, you will hear a click and then it is mounted. The adjustments are not necessary to reach behind the mount, simply hold your TV and tilt to the desired angle, the tension is pre-set at the factory to the probable TV weight, if you need to adjust this tension , there is an tension adjustment screw on the back of the mount to tighten or loosen to make this function work properly. This product is meant for either a masonry wall or attachment to a wooden stud, with the provided hardware. There are 2 holes to drill on the portion of the mount which attaches to the wall. The product comes assembled.

Mine is slightly tilted as well, but not to the point of annoyance. I had the TV professionally installed, so I did not try and adjust, so I don't have any specific help. It almost appears to be sagging to some extent. It is an inexpensive mount compared to others I have seen and I suspect that the price reflects the lack of robust design and material used for this mount. That said, it has not failed and I am still using it.

Nope, the tv does not move on the mount. I suppose it could move side-to-side, but it should really stay centered anyway.

I think I would try drilling another hole in mounting plate. Three lag screws would probably hold, if your TV isn't to heavy
