About the Sanus Premium Series VLT5
The Sanus Premium Series VLT5 tilt mount features fingertip control so you can easily adjust the tilt without tools. The mount can support TVs with screen sizes from 51" to 80" and weighing up to 125 lbs.
The mount lets you tilt your TV up for easy cable connections.
A safe design for mounting
Once you've secured the brace to the wall, the mount just slides into position. A safety lock that closes with an audible click lets you know it's securely in place. The mount can be shifted slightly left or right on the wall plate so the TV is centered, even if your wall studs are off-center.

So good, I bought a second one.
Crutchfield customer from Hedgesville, WV on 3/25/2019
This is my second purchase of a Sanus wall mount. I love them. It is complete for most common wall instaltions. They even made this one better looking by having covers for the mounnting rail so that the screws are hidden. It's a heavy and very well made wall mount.

Well made wall mount
Peter from Scotch Plains, NJ on 12/3/2018
Good, sturdy TV wall mount. Easy to install, well made
Pros: Sturdy, well made close to wall bracket for 65" TV, easy to install and mount TV.
Cons: Very minor criticism, and will apply to ALL TV wall mounts that are close to the wall. It's difficult to tighten the knobs for angling the TV screen once it's on the wall, so we tightened the knobs up first and then mounted TV on the bracket.

Stout mount, but the tilt could use some work
Gene from Franksville, WI on 4/2/2018
Sanus goes out of their way to make installation of their mounts as easy as possible. They provide good written instructions, and their website offers very helpful apps and videos. While there were a couple bumps along the way, I managed to get the mount (and TV) installed correctly. One issue I have, and the reason I docked it one star, is that the TV tilt doesn't hold its place. No matter how much I tighten the tilt knobs, the TV will slowly tilt down. Other than that, I have every confidence that the mount will hold the TV in place for the duration.
Pros: Good, heavy mount Good directions Lots of help on the Sanus website
Cons: The tilt doesn't hold the TV at the desired angle

Jack from Holmes Beach, FL on 4/1/2018
This is by far the best wall mount I have ever purchased. It's easier to install, much better quality than expected. The mount is able to mount the tv very close to the wall which is what I had hoped for and still is able to have some movement to angle the tv down. I would buy this again. I installed a 65 inch tv.

Sanus VLT5
Eric from Edwardsville, IL on 2/4/2018
A very stout and easy to install TV mount. Has a nice clean look. This supported my 75 Sony TV with no issues. The provided template also assisted in planing, as well as the online tool that tells you where to drill your holes. I needed the bottom of the TV to clear the center channel speaker and stand, and the online tool made this a snap. The plastic level bubble they provided was way off. Use your own tools and your own studfinder.
Pros: - Sanus website has a great guide on what height to drill holes. - Provided Template works great.
Cons: - The provided level was pretty cheap, and it was "off" when compared to my regular level.

Terrific Wall-Mount
Mark from Monroe, WA on 11/13/2017
Bought this to mount our new 55" OLED. This wall mount is nicely built and easy to install. Sufficiently robust and uncomplicated mechanism with adequate tilt adjustment range. Kind of funny, since the bracket is hidden from view after the TV is mounted; however, I like the covers Sanus uses to hide the wall-mounting bolts.
Pros: Strong, easy to install, clean lines, adequate range of adjustment.
Cons: None

Easy to install
Gary from Dobbs Ferry, NY on 11/10/2017
Great product. Easy to install and adjust so you can hit the studs and still have the TV where you wanted it. This is made for wood studs as the bolts and screws are supplied. The manufacturer also recommends this model for walls with metal studs. Just an FYI you need to order the metal stud kit separately. Ask me how I know?
Pros: Good tilt and enough room between the tv and the wall. Can use with metal studs, but....
Cons: Use with metal studs requires separate purchase of specialized wall anchors.

Quality mount
Steven from Lakeville, MN on 5/30/2017
While you can buy cheaper wall mounts, the Sanus products are totally quality. Their documentation and design are worth the extra cost. I bought two of these after reading multiple raving reviews and glad I did. I have bought cheaper mounts in the past and you definitely get what you pay for.
Pros: Great build quality, excellent documentation printed and online
Cons:

Mike from Florida on 4/7/2017
Sturdy mount that was easy to install and to make adjustments. I mounted a 60lb 60" TV, so didn't max out the weight limit, but I pulled on the wall mount piece and have great confidence. The included probe made it easy to find the edges of studs.
Pros:
Cons: At full price, may not be a good value, but I was able to get it on sale and it was priced very competitively.

Excellent Design
Kenneth R. from Lewisville, TX on 3/28/2017
I mounted a 55" Sony and it looks great. This is a solid design and has great horizontal flexibility to locate the studs and then adjust your TV to Center. It should easily hold a larger panel, which I'll upgrade to down the road.
Pros: Easy installation and good instruction manual
Cons: May take 2 people for some due to the weight of the TV

perfect
Crutchfield customer from San Francisco, CA on 3/20/2017
used for my LG OLED and installs easily. my situation required drilling into studs that were not exactly standard - so it can reach beyond 18" and you can get centered however you wish. one thing to note is that this slim profile doesnt allow much room to connect up cables.
Pros: install, non standard installs
Cons: room for cables

Plan a Trip To The Hardware Store!
Mark from Dayton, OH on 10/30/2016
As noted in several other reviews, there are not enough screw different lengths supplied for mounting the TV to the bracket. Although the local Hardware Store did have the length that was needed, nobody wants to stop the process of installing a TV to run to the Hardware Store. There are competitive products that are cheaper, and have the needed hardware included...
Pros: Works as expected. It is nice looking, as well as very sturdy construction.
Cons: Not enough, or proper hardware included with the mount.

Great mounting system.
KB from Chicago, IL on 10/10/2016
Sanus is head and shoulders above the competition! A level/stud finder tool is included, that makes mount placement simple. Additionally, the Sanus website includes "HeightFinder;" a web based app that helps find the correct height placement of the mount, to achieve the desired monitor placement.
Pros: Easy to follow instructions. Great level/stud finder tool included. Web app to aid in measurements.
Cons:

Quality matters!
Peter from Ft Myers, FL on 9/19/2016
Quality mount, easy to install and adjust the tilt. It comes with a nicely printed and detailed instructions. This is my second Sanus product (one full motion and this) and I am extremely satisfied with both. This mount even looks great when the TV is off the wall in case you ever need to temporarily take the TV off, it doesn't look like a huge hunk of metal bolted to the wall like other ones. Thanks to Crutchfield for having the best price available online at the time of purchase.

Fair to Good
Billy from Dallas, TX on 9/15/2014
Easier than the old ones that you used to have a big allen wrench for. Did not tighten as tight, but it stays in place so no complaints. None of the included screws/spacers combination fit my TV flush (Samsung 65 inch). Luckily I had some screws left over from my old mounting kit (same brand) that fit perfectly. I needed the fat screws with a shorter length. Two fat screw types were included. One was too long with the spacer added, and one was too short with the spacer but too long without the spacer. If you don't have screws laying around, you can cut the spacers. Still would be nice if they included more like with my previous purchase of this brand.
Pros: Easy to install The template was good. First time I had seen one with a template. Good brand for TV mounts
Cons: Not too many choices on screws to fit your TV Tilt not as tight as older models

Great Product
Saff from Morgantown,WV on 4/27/2014
Easy to install. high quality, sturdy product, never disappointed with a Sanus tv mount. I used it to hang a 55" Vizio . I'm very happy with my purchase and would buy it again. It was easy for two people to hang the tv on the mount. The mount also leaves enough room away from the wall to connect your cables.
Pros: easy to install, good directions, high quality product
Cons: none

Product Research
Features
TV Wall-Mount Bracket: The Sanus Premium Series VLT5 TV wall-mount bracket tilts to give you the best view from the floor or couch. The fingertip tilt allows for easy TV adjustments and tilts the TV back for easy cable access. The VLT5 wall-mount brackets allows your TV to slide from side-to-side for perfect positioning on the wall, and a safety tab provides a safe and easy connection you can hear.
TV Capacity: The VLT5 wall-mount bracket is designed to support flat-panel TVs from 51" to 80", weighing up to 125 lbs.
VESA Mount Bolt Pattern: The VLT5's TV bracket consists of two vertical brackets with multiple slots that can accommodate a vertical hole spacing of 200mm-400mm on back of your TV. The vertical brackets slide along the VLT5's horizontally-mounted wall bracket, accommodating a horizontal hole spacing of 200mm-700mm on back of your television. The Sanus VLT5 comes with M4, M5, M6, and M8 size bolts of differing lengths to mount the bracket to your TV. Given the mounting bracket's range of motion, it will accommodate the following VESA hole patterns in accordance with industry standards set by the Video Electronics Standards Association:
- 200mm x 200mm
- 300mm x 300mm
- 400mm x 300mm
- 400mm x 400mm
- 500mm x 300mm
- 600mm x 400mm
Note: Additional hardware may be required for your specific model of TV. For example; shorter or longer screws, thicker or slimmer washers or spacers. These additional accessories can often be found at your local hardware store.
Wall Plate: The wall plate must be mounted to wall studs or anchored to a brick, block, or concrete wall using the supplied lag bolts (and wall-anchors). The slots in the wall plate can accommodate a variety of stud spacing, allowing you to easily mount the VLT5 to wall studs that are 16" or 24" on center.
Construction: The bracket is constructed of heavy-gauge steel and high-impact plastic with a durable powder-coated black finish.
Adjustments: Your TV can slide left or right along the wall-mount bracket, allowing you to center the TV on the wall. There is also a level adjustment screw on top of either TV bracket to raise or lower the sides of the TV. In addition, you can tilt your TV from -7° to + 12° in order to give you a better viewing angle of your wall-mounted TV; tension knobs tighten the bracket in place. Tilting the TV also provides easier access to cable connections on back of the televisions.
Installation Tools: The following tools are recommended for mounting the VLT5:
- Tape measure
- Stud finder/level (included)
- Drill
- 7/32 Drill bit (for wood studs)
