Whether you're mounting it on a round, square, or even hexagonal post, this mount offers excellent flexibility with a 180° swivel feature, ensuring that you can easily adjust the TV for the best viewing angle. It's weatherproof, meaning it can handle exposure to the elements without any issue.

Why a Straight Mount Matters

While many focus on the technical specs of TV mounts, such as weight capacity or VESA compatibility, one overlooked aspect is the alignment of the TV. Having your TV perfectly level is critical for a professional look and a comfortable viewing experience. A crooked TV can create visual discomfort and ruin the sleek aesthetic of your outdoor entertainment area.

Step 1: Gather Your Tools
Luckily, the Zebozap ZZTVS2022 comes with all the necessary hardware included, so you don’t need to worry about buying extra parts. Before you begin, ensure you have a basic toolkit on hand, which includes a spirit level, tape measure, and screwdriver.

Step 2: Choose Your Mounting Surface
This mount is designed to fit on a wide variety of surfaces, such as round or square posts larger than 3 inches in diameter, making it ideal for installation on gazebos, pergolas, or patio pillars. Ensure the post or pillar is sturdy and stable, as this will provide the necessary support for your TV.

Step 3: Attaching the Main Pillar Unit
The most crucial part of getting a straight mount is ensuring that the main pillar unit is securely and correctly aligned. Place the mounting plate of the Zebozap ZZTVS2022 on the chosen post, making sure it’s level using your spirit level. Once you're confident that it’s straight, mark the points where the screws will go.

Step 4: Tightening the Screws
Tighten the screws provided in the hardware kit into the marked positions. Ensure that the mount remains straight as you tighten. A pro tip is to avoid tightening all screws fully until you’ve confirmed that the mount is level after loosely attaching them.

Step 5: Double-Check with a Spirit Level
Before attaching your TV, use the spirit level once more to confirm that the pillar mount is perfectly straight. This step is key in avoiding any alignment issues later on. If adjustments are needed, now’s the time to make them.

Step 6: Mounting Your TV
Once the mount is level, you can attach your TV using the VESA-compatible screws. The Zebozap ZZTVS2022 supports various VESA configurations, including 75x75mm, 100x100mm, 200x100mm, and 200x200mm. Follow the TV’s mounting instructions to secure it to the bracket, making sure that the TV itself is aligned straight.

Step 7: Test the Rotation and Viewing Angle
One of the standout features of this mount is its 180° swivel capability. After ensuring that the TV is securely attached and straight, you can test the swivel feature to adjust the viewing angle. The movement should be smooth, and the TV should maintain its level orientation.
