Can you mount it into drywall?I am installing this to hold a monitor for a security camera at work and the interior wall studs are metal

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.

I made a 3/8" plywood plate and mounted that to the wall. Then muunted the unit to it. Without a plate I would use toggles to mount it to plain drywall.

I wouldn't install it on metal studs as is. I am in construction, and I would recommend cutting out the drywall out between the two studs you are planning on installing the tv mount at, and screwing 2x6 wood blocking between the metal studs, then mount the bracket on the wood blocking. Just make sure the cut is an even patch that hopefully won't show after the bracket is installed in case you can't tape the edges and repaint the wall.

Hi. I gave this to a friend of mine last Christmas and he went to Lowes and bought wall anchors and stainless screws to mount the unit, as where he wanted it placed did not have wall studs located where needed. He says they worked great.

Hello MudMonkey, Technically, yes you can screw the mount into the wall. There are screw holes in the back part of the mounting plate. Please let me know if you have any further questions! Thanks, Taylor W. VIVO Technology

That's a tough question.....I have to say NO. Unless you can get a look at the stud in the wall and if its thin enough, get self tapping screws that will screw into the metal stud..... but that's really a hit or miss unless tried., good luck

I mounted mine to a stud. But I have a larger tv. It would depend on how much your tv weighs.if possible I would take the safe route.

Yes drywall. But I recommend into studs. If the tv is super light maybe drywall anchors but it's mounted on my drywall into studs and is solid!

Depends on the weight of the TV. But I wouldn't risk it. All wall mounts are really designed to use studs. Anything else is only as good as the wall anchor you use. I don't recommend doing it.

I have it in drywall with a 42in tv. better to find a stud for at least one of the screws. But if you can't, I've switched these type of anchors http://www.homedepot.com/p/t/100391938?langId=-1&storeId;=10051&catalogId;=10053&N;=5yc1vZ1xhv&R;=100391938.

I don't think this would work. There is no solid way to wall mount. It is heavier than you think.

Yes and yes. It comes with anchors for drywall. Mine is mounted in my office which is constructed of drywall and metal studs. Mine is only mounted in the drywall. Has been there and used for 8 months with no problem

I got this wall mount and I hanged an 80" flat tv. It is holding very good but you will need to find the stud in the wall and use the big screws into the stud. The drywall will not support it by itself.

There is a lot of leeway in regards to where you want to insert the screws into the studs. I would not have any fear or hesitation. I am very pleased with this wall mount.

I would not mount it inside the studs if you want to keep the swivel option. It is 12 7/8" wide, so it could fit, with some shim work, but if it is inserted more than 1" the swivel would jam; Also, to mount it would require drilling holes through the heavy metal on the sides of the mount bracket. The 1" insert would not give you a good set of support holes for bolting it down tight.

Yes u can mount it to the studs in the walls n it have predrilled holes in the back..

it should be ok to use inside but only is it attached to a stud, it will not hold much weight if just in drywall alone.

Yes you can mount in on the wall. That's how I have mine setup. You can turn the mounting brackets 90 degrees and screws it in the wall. It's not going to look pretty but gets the job done
