Does this product work with typical house studs, or just with flat wall studs?

As long as the stud is 2 inches or more it will work fine. It was easy to mount

The spacing of the screw holes are just a bit two wide for a typical house stud, I was able to sink one screw securely and angle the other screws in such a way that I was able to make it work, but unfortunately after doing this, I had to force the screw cover on. Now that is up it really is outstanding. Notably. If you had a wider stud it would go up no problem. Without a wide stud, the template is useless and it takes a bit of finess. Hope this helps.

You screw both ends into the walls. Screws are provided and it works best if you screw into wall studs.

The stud finder will find the drywall screws (and therefore the stud) in your wall. You're still ultimately mounting to a stud, so you should be fine.

The brackets work best to be attached to a fixed wall or ceiling studs. I'm sure if you "fashioned" something you could make it work. I would make sure it's attached to the joists how ever not the metal pieces that hold the ceiling tiles.

I don't know. The stud ends are painted with the color of the wire that goes on it. It worked for me.

I don't know, didn't tried it for studs.But note, this tool isn't very powerful.

Easy install with basic tools if you have studs or solid surface to mount on. Would not trust hollow wall with anchors

I couldn't find them anywhere, including VideoSecu's web site, however, you should be able to mount this with just the info on the pictures included here. The mount comes with tons of generic installation hardware, including some heavy duty screws for bolting to a stud. It also comes with plastic drywall anchors, but I would not use those for primary support, personally - there are better items out there. In my case, I had a stud in the center of the wall that I connected to, and used the drywall anchors strictly for added stability. You do want to make sure you anchor into studs. Bear in mind that an articulating mount puts different stresses on the wall and mounting hardware than a flat wall mount does - once you extend the arms, the forces on the top line of bolts will be similar to using a crowbar to pry them out rather that straight shear force. Also, note that if you have metal studs their load-bearing capacity is much lower than wood studs would have, so plan around that. Check YouTube for lots of installation videos on wall mounts of all types - much of the information there is applicable for this product as well.

I used this product on a flat ceiling but , as with all the units I've installed, I do a simple , cheap add on that may work for you..... Use some PVC fittings ( I used a coupling and cap on the ceiling end of the pole. This may work for you with a liittle trial and error to figure out whether 1/2 " or3/4 " fittings would work best in your application.I used this product with success and happy with it..... I would buy again.

When possible always use a stud....When using drywall as a base, for hanging, it all depends on the weight of what you are hanging.

Best to ask the manufacturer. My guess is one unit in designed to insert between the 16" wall studs. The other is designed for surface wall mounting. But this with the before ordering. I believe they also make one in red color.

Yes it does. They look really good as well. My only suggestion would be if you have and kids or pets that might pull on the curtains, use better drywall anchors. Finding studs right where you want them is tough, but you can find the nice screw in anchors that snap open when you put the screw in. They are far better and stronger than the drill and hammer in type.

You may need a longer bolt. These are designed to work with hex bolts and t nuts. You could use an equal diameter bolt which would bite into the studs though.

Mine worked great but our walls aren't plaster. I think it would work if you made sure to find the wall studs and then drilled carefully into those. Can't hammer into plaster you must drill the hole and then use those little plastic plugs then screw into that.

I would not recommend that. It's a lot of downward pressure and will likely rip out of the wall like that. It's not hard to find a stud

The bracket that mount to studs/wall has multiple slots that span the entire width of bracket. It should work.

For the most part this will work with lath and plaster. It does a pretty good job of recognizing the nails holding the laths to the studs. It works on my walls pretty consistently. When you do get a positive beep, you really need to verify it up and down the wall though, to make sure its actually on a stud, and not just some random piece of metal behind. Also, since it is detecting metal, and utilizes a pretty powerful magnet, it is pretty much useless in some areas with metal. In my house, I have a whole 4x8 section of wall behind the shower that it shows a false positive over the entire thing, I'm assuming because of plumbing.
