I want to mount my 55" tv to the wall. I'm sick of the stand it's on ands it's only a place to put things.
I figure I can hide the PS4 somewhere else. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
But it's in the corner and I thought it might be cool if I could swivel it and lay it flat on one wall as well as where it usually is which is in the middle.
Many of the mounts on the market fix to the two opposing walls like so:
But then I thought it might be cool to be able to push it to one wall too if I wanted to watch tv from one sofa / have it take up less room.
And there is a single point mount with a right angle base that appears to do it.
Here's the mount in question.
here's the base of it
Here's a picture of company man standing in front of it in one position. Please try and ignore the four plants in a row.
And here is a picture of the man in motion sort of walking towards it with purpose while it is flat against the wall in the other position.
UPDATE: here's a picture that better explains it but doesn't have the man .

Anyway, my questions are thus.;
i. is it dangerous to mount a 43 pound tv to just one base like the man did? It seems like a LOT of weight to put on one point of contact especially since it's going to articulate out.
b) I'm mounting straight into brick and mortar; is that better or worse for holding it? Anything I need to know about going into brick; I know there are special fixings for brick that you hammer in; is that what they're called? "brick fixings."
3. is it better to go into the brick or the mortar; assuming brick since it's harder.
4. That one (the one with the man) is 119 dollars. Seems like a lot. And I'm in the UK too. I can't find anything like it on Amazon (they're all the two contact ones). And the one point of contact ones don't have bases that are right angled for a corner. Does anyone have any ideas where I could get one?
e) I think that's it.
Thanks in advance.
