Does this bracket need studs to be mounted
I just moved into a condo where the studs are 24 inches apart. I own the rf-TVMFM03V2 and I can not mount the bracket and I just noticed on the owners manual it says for wood studs only. I have a 50 inch Panasonic plasma tv. Can this wall mount be used without the wood studs and if not which wall mount do you recommend
Check the directions / call the manufacturer and ensure that there is not an alternate setup for 24" studs.
I would not recommend installing the wall mount unless you can affix it to studs; based upon the size / weight of the television and the mount. My suggestion would be to get a 2x4, cut it slightly longer than the width of the studs in the wall. Secure the 2x4 to the studs, you may have to use 2 or 3 cut 2x4 pieces (secure at top, middle, and bottom of mount), in order to keep the mount level (this is dependent upon the mounting locations on the wall mount). That should work for you and allow you to use the mount; if thats too much, you may want to look for a mount that is suitable for 24" studs.
