I only payed $20 for this thing and I thought for the most part it was gonna be a rickety piece of plastic with screw holes in it. This was not the case at all.
The reason I bought this was to be able to mount it to either my TV or my wall when I need too (I move houses/change my room around a lot). This was one of the only products that did this within my price range.
Before I get any further, I'd like to make a note as far as the finish on the product goes. In the picture it looks like more of a flat black color. It is actually the chrome-black color that the new xbox 360s come in. It also matches my TV perfectlyBonus.
Anyways, What I thought was going to be a piece of cardboard-plastic actually was a very high quality and well-engineered piece of plastic. It seems as though everything fits together so nicely and with very little gap and this thing was pretty well designed too.
I'll start with the packaging it came in from the mail and the box the product its self comes in:
The box came in one of those yellow envelopes that is lined inside with bubble wrapehh... When I opened it, The box had a bit of crinkle in it, but nothing that would harm the contents of it. The box even seemed thought out pretty well too. Everything inside was wrapped in bubble wrap and the mount comes with a 2 year warranty. all of the tools, plastic pieces, and screws are in separate plastic bags inside. It comes with 3 thick, square, plastic washers that have teeth on one side to lock the support in place on the mount. (It only uses 1 washer to screw in) The support arms (Comes with 2: One low profile one for small monitors and LED TVs and one for LCD/Plasma TVs) have brass nuts built into them where the screw will hold it on to the bracket. I currently have it mounted on my TV which is about EXACTLY 6 feet off the ground and it has been working wonderfully. The wall mount is also a very solid build quality though I have not yet used it. It even has a clip on the back the guides The wire for the Kinect sensor down to your console. The mount itself has good quality pads on it along with the supports. It is VERY adjustable and the support won't slide thanks to the interlocking washer with the teeth on the mount. It also has clips that hold the Kinect sensor in place.
Oh yea! it even comes with a mini screw driver. The only thing I would complain about is the length of the screws it comes with that hold on the support arm. They are very short. They work, but it would also be easy to over-tighten and strip the brass nuts or the screw itself. The mount is very sturdy.
I am REALLY impressed with the quality of this product. I would expect to pay $30-$40 for it.
The name of the company that makes it is "Kamikaze Gear". You know when you open up an instruction manual that is in different languages and English is usually the first page? Well the first language in this highly-detailed instruction manual is, I believe, GermanThrew me off quite a bit. But the manual has 4 languages in it: German, English, French, and Spanish.
I highly recommend buying this! You can't go wrong! It shipped to my house in 2 days on standard shipping. and I live in a rural area.This is not a game it is a mount but it works great, came to us as expected. It goes on easily.
