David –
I’ve been purchasing Sanus products for a couple of years now; primarily, the stands that they’ve been making for Sonos speakers. Honestly, this TV mount doesn’t disappoint. I haven’t had a chance to mount it just yet because I would like to have my friend help me install it. I will say, because of its rugged build quality, it’s also quite heavy and getting it lined up and leveled by myself has proved to be a little challenging. Although, I haven’t installed it, I did spend time playing with the articulating arm mechanism to just gauge its smoothness and stability, and I’d say it’s pretty dang solid. I’ve purchased various desktop arms for holding up computer monitors and this one exceeds the quality of those pretty easily.
I think it’s worth emphasizing the build quality because this “premium outdoor” version is very much meeting, if not exceeding, my expectations. Instructions for installing this is clearly laid out when you open the box but they also have QR codes to pull up YouTube videos to help you just in case. Installation appears to be pretty standard issue, but like I mentioned earlier, I think having a second person would help quite a bit to get things aligned and installed properly.
This is such a small thing but I really do appreciate how Sanus separates out all the small pieces in their packaging- they package all the nuts, bolts, washers, etc. in separate, labeled compartments, which helps keep things organized- no need to go hunting for the piece that you need. I would highly recommend

This mount is a heavy duty mount. .. At First I thought I would be able to install this easily but it needs to be mounted in a stud or as it says outdoors…One of the things that I noticed was all all of the tools were included that you need to mount the television on. The swivel is nice because you can mount the television on it and it swivels when you have company over and you want to share your screen. The swivel isn’t hard t use and with this being a heavy dusty monument you would be afraid to keep moving it but it is not only heavy duty it is smooth to move back and forth. I have a 55 inch tv that I mounted and it fit quite nicely on it….I have to say it was quite easy to install although you may need help when installing it because it is quite heavy. The instructions are straight forward and easy to understand which make for a smooth step by step installation… I would highly recommend this mount as it is sturdy and durable. Just do not try to mount it into drywall, go for the outdoors or the studs..

We wanted to mount our recently purchased 70 inches outdoor TV to our backyard wall and was looking for a mount that is designed to provide a reliable and versatile mount solution and this model fit all our requirements.
Main key features is its full-motion capability, allowing it to adjust the TV position and viewing angle for optimal viewing comfort. This is a solid well built with durable materials and is designed to withstand various weather conditions like sunlight, rain and temperature fluctuations.
Installation of this mounts is relatively straightforward like other mounts. It comes with comprehensive instructions and all the hardware required. Once installed, the full-motion functionality of this mount is great and the tilt, swivel and extension from the wall is a great option for viewing at perfect angle for the backyard movie night.
This mount’s compatibility ranges from 65 to 90 inches ensures that it can accommodate a wide range of TV sizes. It greatly provides smooth and fluid motion of the mount ensures easy adjustment without any noticeable instability or wobbling and holds the TV securely in place, even during windy conditions.
Only drawback is this mount is little extensive compared to other options on the market but the performance and quality it delivers is worth the investment for long term and peace of mind.
Overall, Sanus Premium outdoor mount offers a durable and flexible solution for TV’s up to 90 inches. Its easy installation process, durable construction, versatile adjustments and weatherproof design it offers creates a great entertainment setup for outdoor and highly recommend this mount for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a sturdy, quality and flexible TV mount.
Highly Excellent –
***MATERIALS:***
This is a heavy product. My packing slip said over 23 lbs. The documents say it’s rated for 120 lbs, but it could probably double as home gym equipment (jumping, pull-ups…). The hinge mechanisms feel incredibly smooth (especially when you get the TV attached), the metal appears thick, and the paint looks to be as well. I would have preferred a matte coating to hide fingerprints and increase the impression of durability, but I won’t be looking at it much. Machine screws, bolts and washers are all high strength textured stainless. There aren’t enough lengths, however. You may find yourself using really long screws plus spacers to keep from bottoming out.
***DESIGN:***
The design of the wall section, while quality, is limiting. Unless you use a base plate, you are stuck with a 16″ mounting span. The afore-mentioned heavy-duty construction is a drawback here, as an option to widen out to 18″, 20″, or (in my case) 24″ would have been incredibly helpful in increasing mounting flexibility. Fortunately, we aren’t going to be finishing our building for a while, so I was able to find space to attach beneath a window (to a 2×4 footer). The design of the horizontal attachments give you the option to mount directly to the television or take out spacers to protect the back plastic. A vertical plate (the connection point for the wall section) must be screwed into the horizontal attachments, and – with the included hardware – only fits one way. Assembly this way also limits your ability to adjust height. The design would have made much more sense if the plate were flipped, giving unrestricted access to every tab slot. The included hardware doesn’t allow this (the screws are too short).
***MOUNTING:***
Installing the wall section isn’t too bad if you have the right conditions (like 16″ on center studs). Sanus includes a cardpaper outline to mock-up where you would like to put the mount before hefting it. Once you have a spot marked, you can be as diligent or lazy as you’re willing to risk – I have a lighter TV so I used self-tapping deck screws (plus washers). If you were to use the massive included screws I’d drill out the studs a bit first (lest you crack the wood wide open). Once you have the wall and TV assemblies mounted, you really should get a second person to help. It was a struggle for me to properly place the vertical plate (TV side) onto the mounting tab (wall side) with my 55” attached. The shape of the vertical plate slots and the mounting tab both make connecting the pieces manageable, but you could easily end up placing your TV too high or too low – or hitting the tab on one of the horizontal attachments and dropping your TV (due to the design flaw mentioned above). The tab plate is secured to the vertical plate by an allen screw, but check where things line up if you intend on installing the locking tab, as it may not align. I got lucky and had one working slot available for the locking tab (the very lowest).
***LOCKING:***
The design of the locking tabs make lock selection limited. If you have a vertically keyed lock, you can manage just fine, but I couldn’t get my disc lock to work. There just wasn’t enough room, being that the vertical plate is sitting up ~8” from the bottom of the TV. Trying to get the tabs aligned and have room to turn the key just wasn’t working. I imagine this would be difficult even if you had the right lock – especially with a bigger TV. My 55″ is nothing compared to what this is rated for.
***TURNING RADIUS:***
With my 55” I was able to hit approximately 60 degrees from center, which is better than advertised. Full marks.
***WILL YOU LOVE IT?:***
It’s hard to say this is worth what it’s retailing for, given the sparse included bolt/screw selection. Instead of a host of build possibilities, I found the kit wanting. Only by guessing and dumb luck did I pull off a successful installation (no height adjustment issues). The locking tab placement is frustrating. The turning radius is exceptional (frankly, the exact thing I wanted this kit for). You could likely use this to haul a trailer. All considered, 4 stars.

The Sanus VODLF125 is a UL Certified weatherproof full motion outdoor tv mount for televisions that range in size from 42” to 85” and up to 120 lbs. It is sturdy, well designed and made of corrosion-resistant coated stainless steel and stainless-steel hardware. All of the hardware needed to install the mounting bracket is included in the package. The product is designed to fit VESA mounting hole patterns from 100 x 100 mm to 600 x 400 mm and a pattern guide for mounting the attaching “H-style” bracket is included in the box.
When fully retracted the TV screen is only 2 ¾” from the wall, but full extension allows for a multiple range of angles. There is even a place for a padlock to help secure the TV screen when it is flat against the wall in the 2 ¾” position. The mounting bracket will extend up to 24”, has a swivel range of 44” left or right, a tilt range of 13” forward or 7” back. Two knobs are designed on the bracket to lock it in any position within the range mentioned above. All of the pieces and parts that make up the mounting bracket are manufactured to be very solid, strong, and well designed.
Because of the weight, this must be mounted to either studs in a framed wall or masonry. If attached to the exterior wall properly, I definitely recommend this product if you are looking for an exceptionally designed exterior TV wall mount bracket. The bracket carries a 10-year warranty.

I recently installed this Sanus Premium Outdoor Full-Motion Mount in my outdoor entertainment area, and I am quite pleased with it. I installed it with a slightly older (heavier) 75” Vizio, but this mount is perfect for any outdoor TV ranging from 40 to 85 inches. Weight capacity of this rig is 125 pounds so your possibilities are fairly open even with an older heavier TV like mine.
First and foremost, most notable thing and my favorite part about this Sanus Premium Outdoor Full-Motion Mount is its exceptional build quality. Very sturdy, designed to withstand the elements, and constructed with weather-resistant materials. This all ensures durability and longevity even in harsh outdoor weather conditions. Heavy-duty reenforced steel construction offers a sturdy and reliable foundation.
Installation was quick, simple, and straightforward, thanks to clear instructions and its intuitive design. The mount came with the necessary lag bolts and anchors for mounting, allowing me to avoid trips to the hardware store for extras parts. I love the full-motion functionality of the mount so I can easily and quickly adjust its angle depending on what I’m doing outside. The quick change of positioning with its ability to tilt, swivel, and extend, allows me to move between the patio table, the pool, or the yard easily without missing one second of the game (or whatever we’re watching).
Has a nice built-in cable management system which is clever but not as much use to me since I only need to plug my TV in and then everything is streaming to it over wifi. But good to note that is does include built-in cable channels that keep all the cables neatly organized and protected.
Overall, I’ve been very happy with this mount. Would definitely purchase again if I’m ever back in the market and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to enhance their outdoor living environment with a television.

Sturdy and solid. Very well built mount.simple installation.

This Sanus – Premium Outdoor Full-Motion Mount for TVs 40″-85″ is very heavy duty, and can hold up to 120 pounds.
This mount was also very well packaged and all materials are organized perfectly in the box.
On another note it is very expensive too, but well worth it for those cozy nights on the deck watching Netflix with the family.
I have always wanted an outdoor TV Mount ever since I saw them one day dining outside at Applebees! I actually never knew they existed.
The box is quite heavy and you definitely need two people to mount this onto the wall.
We currently have a 55 inch TV mounted and it works perfectly. The mount is full motion as described so we can adjust as needed.
The design on this is very durable, very well made and installation was fairly easy with following the instructions step by step.
I also really like the option that we can add a lock to prevent theft, we did not but we have that as a option for the future if we ever wanted/needed it!
All my TV mounts are from Sanus but this is my first outdoor mount and it didn’t not disappoint. I 1000% recommend this product !
GameOverSuckas –
You can angle this sucker upwards, downwards, to the left ..to the left or sliiide it to the right haha. Wherever you wanna sit or stand this stand has you covered!. Out of the box everything was nice and organized. The directions were extremely easy to follow going step by step and following the diagrams and illustrations made it pretty much impossible to mess this up.You can tell by the feel and thickness this is a very sturdy stand. Not one of those cheaper thin pressed tin types. It offers a ten year parts warranty from the manufacturer so sounds like a brand that stands behind their name. It offers a little more than two feet of extension outward and if you want it closer to the wall the slim design of the kit and how it adjusts, it allows you get it closer than only three inches from the wall. Also instead of painting the stand I think what they did is powder coat it which makes it a lot more durable when it comes to weather and being outside in the elements if you decide to use it outdoors. To be honest it looks so nice I’d use it indoors or outdoors. It holds up to or is rated by the manufacturer to hold 120 pounds and can hold a forty to an eighty-five inch television
So far so good and would definitely recommend to others!

It is exactly what I needed to Mount the tv. Would by again

I really like Sanus mounts. I have a few already and when I saw that they had an outdoor full-motion mount for larger TVs I had to get one. They provide all that you need including detailed instructions with clear pictures of the task. The instructions for how to mount to the exterior of a building is clear as I was concerned about where to mount on the exterior of a building. Once you have it complete it is very easy to connect the mount to the tv. Be careful when you choose your mount as the full motion went a little higher than I anticipated. It is very smooth and I like that I can tilt it to the right viewing angle. I work with where the sun is so it is nice to have full motion as to if you just had a tilt it probably would be hard to view the TV at certain times of the day. I like that it can fold up to a few inches off the wall. When extended out it doesn’t bounce it just stays in place. The one last feature I really like is you can place a padlock on the mount so no one can just detach and take the TV. Great mount.

We are very satisfied with this product and it’s full-motion.

I have used a variety of television mounts and I needed something for an outdoor television, so I was looking forward to using this mount.
The very first impression is that this is a heavy mount – almost 44 pounds and that is without the television.
The finish looks great. There is really no way to judge how well the powder paint will hold up outdoors until after a few years, so I will update my review when appropriate. But it does appear to be well-made and I expect it will hold up in the partially-covered area where I am placing the outdoor television.
I much prefer the full-motion mounts over those thinner, limited motion mounts, especially when it comes to making wiring changes. Sometimes this comes about when I change content providers or look to add a device by way of a HDMI cable or other type of cable. It is too difficult to get in back of the thinner mounts, especially with a television mounted on them and it always becomes a two-person job.
With this full-motion mount, ne person can easily do the work that is necessary without worrying about dropping the television.
My only concern with this mount is the weight. I hope that the studs where I mounted it are sturdy enough to support the over 50 pounds now hanging on the wall.

I needed an outdoor TV mount for installation on a brick wall on a porch. The Sanus VODLF125 is the perfect solution. My favorite feature is the ability to pull the TV out from the wall and position it at various angles, then lock it firmly in place with the twist of a couple knobs.
My mounting situation required placing a few fender washers under the bolt locations going into the brick because my brick surface was slightly uneven. I was able to acquire stainless steel fender washers at my local home improvement store, and adding them as necessary resulted in a perfectly flat and stable mounting position. The instructions note that Sanus will supply a concrete anchor kit P/N CMK1 if you call them at 1-800-359-55520. I was already into the installation, so I picked some up from Lowes, but if you’re ordering this and making plans, might as well get the ones the engineers at Sanus chose.
I already mentioned the adjustment and locking feature, but I also like a few other features of this mount. The heavy duty powder coat finish and the stainless steel hardware promise long-term durability. The “TV Interface”, i.e. the brackets that attach the TV to the mount offer an enormous range of adjustment that should fit any TV you choose. Finally, the padlock capability for preventing the theft of your TV is very nice.
Overall, this is a very well thought out and versatile mount that will support a wide range of televisions for your outdoor viewing pleasure. Highly recommended!

For context I have used 2 other brands and formats of mounts for TV in the house. I have installed 1 myself, the other installed by a professional. I received this and installed myself.
The TV I have is a 65 inch, approximately 38lb.
When you open the box you know it’s premium. The material and supplies feel industrial and sturdy. This was important to me because the mount is projecting the tv, so the center of weight will be projected forward. I’m sure they thought of it but I felt reassured after opening the box.
Installation is pretty straight forward. The manual it comes worth is pretty straight forward, but the build was self explanatory. Part of the success is to be prepared, have a stud finder, know the piping/electric/insulation in your walls, have the drill and proper bits ready etc.
Once mounted I tested the Mount for a few weeks. I articulated the mount left for a week, right for a week, extended it at its maximum distance etc. Beautiful
Would buy again. Sturdy. Industrial feel. I feel my investment is save in Sanus arms lol

Samsung 98″ is 124lbs without stand. All my other large Tv are Sanus and Sanus makes a small Tv even larger.
but
Sanus 120lbs today is no longer good enough.

I’ve always wanted to mount my TV (55in) but thought it would be too difficult; But that’s what friends are for! Sanus was also gracious enough to include a mounting template which makes the process quite painless as well. I will say, I was very worried about how durable this would be for outdoor use as we get extreme temperatures (especially heat) where I live. Time will tell ultimately how it does, but the build quality is apparent and impressive nonetheless. The TV mount feels substantial and premium, but I wouldn’t expect anything less from Sanus. I also love how there’s so many different angles and positions you can have the TV directed at. We have a large outdoor patio and this allowed us to put it in a central location and no matter if you’re sitting center at the dining area or off to one of the sides grilling or gardening, you can have the best picture in the house. It also has the ability to surprisingly close to the wall – I wouldn’t say flush but it’s certainly not bad, all things considered. Another home run from Sanus!

Moves well, swivles smoothly. Very expensive, but made well.
ChrisN –
Very durable as a product that can hold a lot of weight.
JustinH –
Excellent product. The only issue is the lock. If they engineered a lock or had suggestions for one, it would be perfect. I put it up myself, very clear easy to follow directions. Make sure if you are placing it on brick that you get the package for that.
Dom71 –
Easy to install. Fits great. No issues to report.
Dan66 –
Great Fit for my needs – put it near a wall edge and I can rotate the Outdoor TV around the corner almost 90 degrees. Works perfect!
T2121 –
Versatile and sturdy. Excellent mount for larger TVS
jdevol –
Very happy with this mount for my pool house. it has good motion range and it easily handles a 75-inch Roku TV.
AdamG –
Great product … I was able to do lull ups on it ..
Roberta –
These TV mounts provide excellent screen range for watching TV
Reanne408 –
great set up and very easy to use. the lock feature keeps the mount from “walking” on its own. Still trying to figure out the tilt though.
DebbieG –
I don’t have this installed yet but I have other Sanus mounts and the Geek Squad installed them. They all work great and with the expertise of the Geek Squad you know your tv is mounted securely and will stay on the wall!!! The full motion mounts are great!! You can see the tv from all over the room with the move ability this mount offers!

We just got this installed but seems to be doing well so far!

Works great for my 65-inch TV. Great tilt angle and is sturdy. Instructions were a little complicated, but a manufacturer video cleared things up.
ScottM –
Easy install, seems to be good quality We can move the TV about wherever we want to. We’re using this on a covered patio
MichaelW –
Works like a charm – using it for outdoor tv and no issues

Bracket Hass to be removed. If you want to change HDMI cable from the entry door the bracket goes over the entry door poor poor poor design.
Gnashvillea –
Great range and stable for my outdoor flat screen.
JodiD –
Very happy- sturdy. No concerns- they also installed it and did a great job

LawrenceS –
Excellent product. Affixed to outdoor television mounted on the lanai.
Cheston –
A lot of faith in two little screws to hold the bracket that’s attach to the tv but it’s holding well so. Mounts heavy and instructions could be a bit more detailed
BrianD –
Great product and easy to use and easy installation
JeffreyF –
Great product. The television can tilt a little but is otherwise fairly flush to the wall.
KerryM –
I don’t know if this works well or not – this is what customer service over the phone told me I needed and after countless hours trying to get this ordered and then the order corrected, this is not what I needed. This item was returned. I would only recommend this if tv is outside
BubbaD –
Great mount.!!!!!!!!!!!!¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MichaelP –
Does exactly waht it was supposed to do. It was very convenient to be able to swivel the tv the way we wanted it.
Steve –
Comes with stainless screws and is coated to protect against the elements, worked great for the 75 in i put outside, great adjustability and the mechaism for tightening the swing out and side to side keeps the tv sturdy from the wind
TracyW –
Product works well. Seems sturdy. Hopefully it will last a long time.
