In this install, I’m in the living room mounting a 75" Sony 95K above a fireplace using the MantelMount MAX2 (the motor-assisted model). I walk through the whole process the same way we do it on real jobs in North Texas: unboxing the mount, getting the TV brackets on the back, and dealing with the VESA layout. On this Sony, the main mounting points didn’t line up with the VESA holes, so I used the extenders and vertical braces to give us a solid, correct attachment point before we ever touch the wall. From there I mark studs, pre-drill, and lag the wall plate in (and I show how I verify it’s perfectly level and oriented the right way up). Then I hang the mechanism by leaving the top screws about a quarter inch out, lean it in, hook the top, slide into the bottom, and tighten everything down. After the TV goes on, I level it with the leveling screw, lock it in, and finish with cable management—including a slim surge protector, securing the power brick behind the bracket, and placing the toggle switch where it’s easy to reach. One of my favorite takeaways: we deleted the standard handle for a cleaner look. The soundbar bracket effectively becomes the grab point, and I mounted the up/down toggle on the back so you can reach up and run it without seeing extra hardware. I also show the travel and why the MAX2’s assist matters on a heavy mini-LED TV—MAX1 would be a lot more work to lift back up.
