How do I know whether this TV mount will work with my TV?

There are two factors to take into account when buying a TV mount. They are weight and VESA (mounting hole pattern). Look at the specifications of your TV and see if they fit within the weight and VESA for the TV mount in question.

Does the TV Ceiling Mount have to be 3m?

The TV Ceiling Mount comes out of the box with enough poles to have a 3m drop. You are able to purchase more poles to extend the drop in multiples of 800mm. You are also able to remove poles in multiples of 800mm to reduce the amount of drop.

32″–80″ TV Ceiling Mount – 3000mm Drop (SMCM300L)

SureMount 32″–80″ Ceiling TV Mount – 3000mm Drop (SMCM300L)

The SureMount SMCM300L is a heavy-duty ceiling TV mount designed for long-drop, high-ceiling installations where strength, stability, and clean presentation are critical.

Built around a modular 42mm pole system, this mount delivers a rigid, professional installation with minimal movement — making it ideal for retail, gyms, commercial spaces, and architectural environments.

Unlike standard ceiling mounts, the SMCM300L allows the screen to be rotated between landscape and portrait without removing the TV, giving you true flexibility for digital signage and display applications.

With an adjustable drop of up to 3130mm (extendable to 6 metres), this system is purpose-built for demanding installs where other mounts simply don’t go far enough.
