Mount-It! Full Motion TV Wall Mount Bracket for 13-42" Screens - 18" Articulating Arm, Quick Release Plate, Tilt Swivel Rotate, Anti-Theft Lock, Single Stud Install, Supports 44 lbs, VESA 75-200 Review (2026)

What this mount is built for

This is a full-motion articulating wall mount sized for smaller televisions in the 13 to 42 inch range, aimed at rooms like a kitchen, bedroom, office, or RV rather than a large living room display. The 18 inch articulating arm extends the TV out from the wall and swivels, tilts, and rotates, which lets the screen be positioned for viewing from an angle, such as pulling a kitchen TV out over a counter or angling a bedroom TV toward the bed. Because it targets smaller screens, the mount itself is more compact and lighter duty than mounts built for 50-plus inch TVs, which keeps it easier to install on a single stud.

Weight and VESA compatibility

The mount supports up to 44 lbs and covers VESA mounting patterns from 75x75 up to 200x200mm, which matches the hole pattern found on the back of most TVs in its 13 to 42 inch target range. Buyers should check both numbers against their specific TV before buying, since a 42 inch TV can occasionally weigh more than 44 lbs depending on the model, and some TVs in that size range use VESA patterns outside the 75-200 range. Because the capacity and VESA range are on the smaller side, this is not a mount to consider for anything larger than what is explicitly listed, even if the arm's extension length looks appealing for a bigger screen.

Installation and mounting hardware

The mount uses a single stud installation, meaning it attaches to one wall stud rather than requiring two studs spaced apart, which simplifies placement since the installer does not need to find two studs at the exact spacing the mount requires. A quick release plate attaches to the back of the TV and then clicks onto the wall-mounted arm, making it fast to take the TV down for cleaning behind it, moving it to another room, or swapping in a different television, without having to unscrew the entire mount from the wall each time. Cable clips are built into the arm to route HDMI and power cables along the mount rather than letting them hang loose and visible.

Security feature

An anti-theft lock is built into the mount, which is a feature aimed at semi-public or shared spaces where the TV could otherwise be lifted off a standard quick-release mount by someone without a key or tool. This matters more in a rental property, dorm, break room, or similar shared or less-controlled space than in a private bedroom, but it adds a layer of security at no extra cost either way. The tilt, swivel, and rotate functions all remain fully usable with the lock engaged, so the anti-theft feature does not limit day-to-day adjustment of the screen angle.

Who should buy this mount

This mount fits anyone installing a smaller TV, 42 inches or under and no more than 44 lbs, in a kitchen, bedroom, office, or similar secondary room where flexible positioning from a single stud matters more than raw reach or heavy-duty capacity. The anti-theft lock makes it a particularly good fit for shared housing, rentals, or semi-public spaces. Buyers with a main living room television, especially anything over 42 inches or heavier than 44 lbs, need a different mount entirely, since this model's VESA range and weight rating are both built around smaller screens and will not safely support a larger or heavier TV.
