Search & Selection:
The brackets in the electric markets have not promised me, as they were always only one arm, not pivotable and / or too expensive (> 50 EUR).
After the first research on the net I came across the manufacturer Ricoo and had a look at its products closer because of the (good) reviews. In question here came the models R06, R08 and R28. The models R08 and R28 can carry up to 75 kg. Both are almost identical except for the perforated plate (with R28) and they are still in an XL version for wider Vesa distances (> 400 mm). The Model R06 is a bit massive, heavy and twice as expensive as the other two.
Ultimately, I decided for the R28, as it might better comes through the cutouts in the retainer plate to the TV, connections and cables.
Mounting bracket:
The holder comes up on the rails for the TV, fully assembled. The front plate must be again aligned to the base plate (before mounting). I did that, as I have measured in plan view, the differences in height of the two plates (in compression) and corrected.
For marking the drill holes a second person holding the bracket includes a bubble level on the wall is recommended. Alternatively, you have to stop expecting little and draw the holes without mounting on the wall. Screws and anchors M10x50 are already included. I have but still Fischer plugs SX 10x50 brought by screws 6-Kant 7x65 from the hardware store, because my screws appeared too short. Overall, I attached the bracket with the 5 Fischer dowels and screws. When I took the washers supplied.
I have the bracket mounted so that the TV center on the wall (ceiling height 2.30 m; bottom edge TV about 73 cm).
Mounting TV:
The rails are relatively simple to attach to the TV. Enough thread screws and washers for the various sizes are included. The TV comes with the rails simply hung in the bracket and secured from below with screws. The hole spacing of 400 mm width fits with the rails just as on the holding plate. Left and right, the holding plate has 2-3 mm overhang. Who is not enough, which should take the XL variant.
The 60-inch model can be swiveled and move only very cumbersome due to the size, but I do not daily move it back and forth, it's no problem.
The suspension height is ideal for us at 4.5 m seat pitch and we are very pleased with the support. In future I'll hang every TV on the wall.
Conclusion:
Robust and practical support with lots of accessories at an affordable price, which is also suitable for large TVs. Recommended!
