Can I mount this to a single stud and will it still be secure?

Probably, if you have a newer LCD/LED lit TV that weigh less than 60 lbs. If you can't span 2 studs (16" OC), try the other VideoSecu mount which has a wall plate about 27" wide.

yes... just use both top and bottom holes to screw into stud. great quality mount

yes, studs must be 16" to mount per the instructions provided. Hope this helps!

It attached to one Stud & I have a 48" TV. I am very comfortable with the strength of the mount.

Absolutely. Only one stud is needed to mount, as the bracket runs vertical.

I absolutely would only screw it into the wood studs with the screws. Mine is rock solid AND I too am a perfectionist. If it's not in a stud, you MUST use the anchors, but I can't vouch for it's sturdiness.

I believe it needs at least one stud. Just like Jondotcom said, mine lined up with a stud and I used a toggle bolt on the other.

I wouldn't. This thing is heavy by itself, plus the TV. Can you screw some 2x4s horizontally to some nearby studs for mounting?

It is fairly heavy, should have an exact number in the the shipping information. There is no way I would mount this without going into a stud, NO. It is mirrored in the back, so no screws through the back

Depends on the weight of the TV. But I wouldn't risk it. All wall mounts are really designed to use studs. Anything else is only as good as the wall anchor you use. I don't recommend doing it.

This depends, if you are fixing this on a stud then yes you can keep it, here i am considering the weight of the device.

It has a mounting bar, if you hit one stud, you should be ok. So, yes, it can be centered on the wall.

I have the same wall mount. I have mine set up for two studs, although if necessary there holes in the center if I wanted to set it up for just one stud. I chose the 2 stud option to be safe.

Yes sort of. It can be mounted using only one stud. Becasue of where I wanted to put it on the wall it would not be centered with two studs. It gives you an option to mount with just one stud. Check the Omnimont website for directions. It was in the directions.

For balance, maybe, but I expect in a fall it won't save you. Even if screwed to a stud, I think the rest of the mounting hardware might not be strong enough.

there are 4 1 1/2" screws on the interior of the box, if mounting on drywall into studs you will want longer screws. The box is fairly secure if someone was really persistent to steal the box they could which is why I placed mine in an inconvenience place to be able to pry behind it or swing a hammer at it. I would say all in all it is secure.

It should be mountable using a toggler into the metal stud. Did you end up installing it? I used 3 snap toggles into drywall, and 3 self-tapping sheet metal screws into the metal studs, so far it has held up. Good luck!

The mount comes with two anchors. I hung a 32 with it not on studs. I would be very careful to make sure you get the drill bit size correct for the anchors. If the drill holes are too large you could have problems. I use this mount every day. I am very happy with it.
