Appreciation of 5 stars
Shortly after my review of the manufacturer contact with me, and apologized for the fact that I had received a different bracket. With the very nice - German - Lady, we were quickly agreed. I was promised a new holder, the old, however, I was allowed to keep. In fact, the new holder came shortly afterwards and this time it's the model pictured here 'APTMM2B'.
The original of me in my review criticized 'objects' are solved in this model much better. Through the Safety-Lock system you have to contort nothing to fix the TV finally, the outer metal rods to make a much more stable and higher quality impression than the previous version.
Well what can I say great, except that I have with the customer - in this form, is probably only very rarely in this day and age - and the product'm very satisfied and therefore very much 5 star forgive at this point! ...

Looking for a wall mount for my 42 "TV, I first bought a pull-out and swivel mount another company. This, however, I was not satisfied because the 'arm' has given way at full load and the TV depending on position - each has additionally inclined in this direction Because of this I let fall the bracket and chose a 'just' tilting - left or right..
Current holder of Cheetah Mounts saw lt images of very high quality and stable and the price is hard to beat -. This still gets a few minor 'attentions'. The reviews are very good - but there are apparently 2 versions of this bracket. As well take all the latter Reviews reference to the new version, I went finally also expect to receive them.
Yesterday the bracket supplied - mentioned in passing that goes very quickly from Amazon - and I first saw that the holder must be assembled. After a short time was this 'obstacle' finished, because that does not require large expert knowledge.
Then we brought the holding arms on the TV and then I noticed that my support does not include the safety lock feature, because for me screws were placed there. Furthermore, I noticed that the metal bars on the sides, not as in this picture bright and round, but black and are built in the form of an angle. Now I realized that I must have received the 'old' model, which of course is not primarily bad - yet brings some disadvantages.
The holder has secured by the retaining arms at the sides, which fix the upper and lower part, some play or are slightly in motion, this should not be dramatic because the upper and lower parts are supplied dowels and screws.
The biggest problem on this holder and also my motivation is to forgive 'only' 3 stars, that as soon as the TV is mounted on the positioned on the wall bracket, you can hardly place has to tighten the security screw from the bottom. The relatively large area of the TV, which projects below, we have a screwdriver with multiple extensions used while I still had my arms 'crick' in order to get to the screws and rotate. Finally, it was turning, the very narrow screwdriver only possible with 2 fingers, otherwise I would not have come in the distance.
Otherwise it is broadly stable mount when I'm not afraid to hang my approx 21kg heavy 42 incher on the wall. I will however already 'evil', if I have to remember that I had to remove the bracket sometime, if I want to purchase a new TV soon.
Due to this fact that I was not the model shown here - have received and because of the difficulty in securing the TV, I forgive only 3 stars - which certainly solves this problem much better.
Many Greetings
