Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of OmniMount Stainless Steel 20.0 Wall Speaker Mount (Black - 20 lb)
Customer Review: Solid
Summary: 5 Stars
Works as described, solid construction. Just make sure you know you'll have to order two. This is a single mount.Customer Review: I used two to mount a center channel: works well.
Summary: 4 Stars
My application is slightly different than other reviewers. I wanted to mount a center channel speaker (Polk CSiA4) over my flat panel. It only weighs 16 pounds, but there was no way one mount could support it from one end. In order to center it over the LCD TV, I needed to attach both ends to two studs 16" apart. I managed to conduct this operation myself, but I had to construct a portable mount to support the flat panel while I located and attached the mounts to the wall and the speaker.
The final step was as tricky as other reviewers have noted. I did use pliers to hold/tighten the allen wrench/nut and got it very tight. However, I was still not able to get it to stay at exactly the angle I wanted. However, it was close enough and I'm very happy with the outcome.
Although it was a lot of work, I like the final look much better than just building a shelf for the center.
One note is that the included drill bit seems perhaps one or two sizes too small for the included screws. Screwing into the wall worked fine, but screwing into the speaker was a little dicey. It worked and will hold, but they need to reconsider the drill to screw ratio.
Customer Review: Good idea, but...
Summary: 4 Stars
They look good. They do what they're supposed to.
But it is a little difficult to get to the allen screw that holds the speaker position solid. Which is important with 15 pound speakers that you don't want just leaning into the wall.
Also a hex type wall mount screw would be better for mounting to it to the wall, (I happened to have some around) as the big phillips heads supplied are tough to get into a stud without stripping the head. Even with a good predrill.
These items aside they do work well and fit our needs perfectly as they are slick looking and very easy to hide.
Customer Review: make sure you hit a stud
Summary: 4 Stars
just used these to hang my ~14 pound speakers. the first one i put straight into a stud, and had absolutely no problems with it. the second one i tried putting on drywall with the included anchor, and it was not holding it well. i ended up ripping that one off the wall and moving it to a less ideal location over a stud. if they included better anchors with the mount, or had better advice on when to use them in drywall in the instructions, i would definitely give this 5 stars. once it is up on the wall good and tight, it is a great mount.Customer Review: Great mount
Summary: 4 Stars
The Omni mounts are some of the top notch mounts on the market today. They are basically indestructible. The 20lb rated mounts appear to be able to hold up a horse if you drill them into a stud. The only reason I did not rate these 5 stars is actually amazons fault. There is only one mount per package, even though the description says mounts. Although these mounts are worth price even it its for one.
