VIVO Electric Flip Down Swiveling Ceiling TV Mount for 32 to 70 inch Screens, Large Motorized Flat Ceiling VESA Mount, App and Voice Control, Black, MOUNT-E-FD70S

The media could not be loaded. So I did tons of research before giving this mount a try and boy was it worth it. The biggest selling point was the ability to not only face the pool, but rotate 180 degrees to be viewed from other areas of the patio. I read a lot of reviews, so I figured I'd pay it back.This mount was used on an enclosed overhang on the patio with a 65" Roku tv (35 lbs). I'd rather pay $399 for a new tv every few years than pay for an "outdoor tv".Yes, this mount is made for 16" spacing in your joists. Not ideal since most are 24" apart, but not something you can't overcome. I used decking screws to secure a 36" x 16" piece of teakwood from Lowes to the joists and placed the mount on that. It's a bit expensive and I could have just used 2x4's, but my wife was not having it!The only thing that could have been better is adding an outlet to the mount for the tv to cut down on the wires being everywhere. It might have cleaned the wires up a bit, but I understand some slack is required for the mount to rotate. We had an electrician come and install an outlet near where I put the mount up and it's at least better than running a cord up there.Bottom line, we are very pleased with this mount. It does open and close slowly, but it's not a big deal. It is extremely sturdy and gives us more options than the one that just flips down. If you're thinking about it, go for it!

I’ve had this mount installed for a couple weeks now. Very satisfied with the ease to install and the performance. The two memory settings are nice. Since the mount uses 16” mount points and my rafters are 24” apart, I took the advice of one of the reviewers and mounted it on teakwood that was mounted to the rafters.

Thus hangs outside for our tv. Does exactly what we needed with an up,down and swivel systems.

This item is worthy to buy. I installed it myself in my master bedroom

Works good. Really slow coming down though. Way better than having it on a shelf taking up space

We got this last April and it worked great. This June it pooped out on us. I contacted Vivo support by email, as it’s hard for me to know when I can schedule a phone call. I sent the first email Sunday evening. Monday morning I got a reply with a troubleshooting suggestion. Tried it when I got home. Didn’t work. Tuesday morning got a reply with another suggestion. Didn’t work. Wednesday morning got a reply with another suggestion. Didn’t woork. Thursday morning got a reply stating others replace it. Friday evening I received the replacement via UPS. I love the functionality of the mount, which I expected. What I didn’t expect was the responsiveness of the customer service dept. Any mounts I need in the future will be Vivi mounts.

Just redid our backyard and bought this for our 65 inch tv. It is awesome as it tucks the Tv out of the way and protects it from the elements when we aren’t watching it. It took some time to install but that was expected. It is sturdy and works great, with no issues. I highly recommend this.

This thing is pretty cool but truck to install on popcorn ceilings lol
