It potentially supports a lot of weight and has a lot of leverage, so it's really a bad idea to not mount it to a stud. The screws are 3" long, so I had to use an extra-long drill bit to make holes deep enough in my studs to get the screws all the way in. The unit is articulated so that even if the mount isn't centered, you can center the TV between whatever surrounds it. If your shelves are so close together that there aren't any studs between them and they are securely mounted, it would be better to attach your mount to a shelf than try to attach it to plasterboard, which is pretty weak.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We can only recommend the installation methods that are in our manual using the provided hardware to install into wood or concrete walls. For the type of installation you've described we recommend consulting a professional installer to determine if your wall is able to safely hold the weight of the mount and TV, and how to install correctly. Sorry if this was not the answer you were hoping for, our main priority is safety so we are limited in what we can recommend. Feel free to contact us directly using the support button on our website if you have any additional questions, thanks.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, if you mount it between studs you will need a horizontal brace also.
