Ok I don't know where to start, as far as pieces go everything ever needed is included as far as mounting different Tv's. The top bracket tilts for use on a vaulted ceiling however you can't get the screw tight enough to stop the tilt, which makes the tv look like it's taking a nose dive. The joint where the bars meet the swival bar is for junk, it bends alot at this joint, and no it's not supposed to bend. It hooks to the tv wonderfully, however the tv seams a little top heavy. We have the back bracket up all the way (on our 50 inch tv) there is a tilt divice but it is NOT needed because the tv tilts/pulls away from the top of the bar. The bar is in no way straight up and down. The tv sits at a tilt of more than 15 degrees without the tilt device tilted any. The 360 degree swival works but as you turn the tv around the bar freaks out and makes you think the tv is going to hit the floor. I would not purchase this again, and now we have nothing to hang our Tv. I guess the biggest mistake in the design are the bars, there just not right. Sorry cheetah company but I just couldn't give this a good review. However if you reemburse me I'll give you as a company a good review.

I was replacing my 42 inch Panasonic plasma TV to a new Samsung LED TV. Because I needed to lower the TV about 12 inches, I purchased this mount. The Ceiling mount is worthless for mounting in a single 2x8 ceiling stud because they designed it with 4 holes that are stupidly 4 inches apart. This wouldn't even work for a double stud! I mounted mine diagonal using only 2 of the holes. There are 2 machine screws to hold the extension to the ceiling plate and four more to hold the TV mount to the extension but only ONE LOUSY BOLT for a friction plate that keeps the whole thing from crashing down!!!!

We bought this mount to hang the TV in the media room. The problem is it was entirely too large/long to use for home. The main shaft is so long the LCD HDTV would be at the level of my waist/knees. There is no way to adjust it to the right height. I had to take it to a hardware store, and cut it short.

Here is the reason why I give this mount 1 star, and why you should not buy this product:
The instruction manual are terrible. You can never tell what screw you should use or what thing you should tighten. It says it is "Universal" but the screws my TV needed could not be found. It was impossible to move the movable components. Make sure you have a hammer before you start. Once we installed it, we were not able to tighten the screws and bolts so the projector would stay there. All in all, we wasted a lot of effort and time to put this together and up to the ceiling.

Listen to me, find a good alternative and save yourself sometime.

The material of the hanger looks very strong and solid. But the design is very poor and useless. Cable management is impossible since the slot on the bottom ceiling hanger and the diameter of the top ceiling hanger were too small and narrow to accommodate the SVGA plug and the power cable plug. The mount assembly wasn't as functional and easy. I would not recommend this product.

This product has been a nightmare. First, you have to assemble the plate with 4 pieces to the pole, which was...ok. Then to mount it to the ceiling. They included 4 large screws. The problem is, the screws were very weak. All the screws snapped when they got close to the end, I had to go to Home Depot and get my own set of screws and attach those to ensure it wont fall of the wall.

We used this to mount 40" flat panel in a business for product advertising and information.
It was very easy to install, very concise instructions.

I just installed two of these at a local bar and for the price you can't beat them. They must be installed according to the instructions, that is, mounting them above a ceiling on joist and bringing them down through a 2 1/2 inch hole in the sheetrock. They are plenty strong and have almost infinite adjustments. Again for half what any other mounts cost these are great.
