Chief’s Thinstall™ Series Swing Arm Mounts Move Installations Near and Far

The newest line of full-motion mounts is set for showing at CEDIA Expo 2010

By Gary Reber

Chief, the industry leader in professional AV solutions, will present their new Thinstall™ low-profile swing arm wall mounts at this year’s CEDIA Expo in booth #1436. Designed for use with all types of flat panel TVs, the slim, ruggedly-constructed mounts have an ultra slim 1.5-inch (38 mm) profile, are easy to install, extend up to 25 inches (63.5 cm) for viewing from any angle, and support as much as 125 lbs (56.7 kg).

Engineered for use with LED, LCD and plasma TVs, the Thinstall swing arm mounts collapse to a mere 1.5-inch (38 mm) depth while offering smooth, Centris™ fingertip tilt. High strength, forged steel arms are utilized within the Thinstall design for extra strength and rigidity. Chief’s Centerless lateral shift feature offers up to 16 inches (40.6 cm) of post-install lateral shift, while height and leveling adjustments of up to one inch (25 mm) can be made after the mount is in place as well. All necessary hardware—including screws, spacers, and hex keys—are supplied for mounting on wood, concrete, or brick walls. Multiple cable paths have also been thoughtfully provided and are enclosed with covers allowing tool-free access. A wide-open wall plate lets installers quickly place the mount and connect power. In virtually any application, a single person can easily mount the system’s top rail and slide on the entire assembly.

A full line of Thinstall accessories will be available in the coming year, but the first to be produced and shown at CEDIA is a component shelf that can be used above or below the TV. Other accessories to come include camera shelves, speaker adapters surge adapters, a portrait adapter, and a cable wall channel.

The first Thinstall model is slated to ship in November, with other models releasing in 2011. The Thinstall product group retails for prices ranging from $99-$499 USD.
