TV Mount from ceiling in loft conversion?

[jonnie5]

I'm nearing the end of having my loft converted, and now getting to the nitty gritty details. I would like to mount a TV from the c42 degree pitch ceiling, so that the TV is pretty much vertical. Cabling etc is all in place, I just need to find a mount that works like this

/i (where / is the ceiling & 'i' is the TV , hopefully you catch my drift)

Ideally I'd like to be able to 'fold' the TV away flush with the ceiling, but this maybe a step too far.

Given that the TV is likely to be 37", does anyone have any experience of such a mount and, indeed, where I could purchase such an item.

TIA

It wont fold flat against the ceiling though, different lengths of pole are available.

This will likely cost more than the screen, but does exactly what you asked for.

Yarp, FA is the way to go for anything cleverly actuated.

They had a rather nice decking mount solution at CEDIA today.

Bugger, that looks perfect! I've emailed them for a price, but having just Googled it I've found it on another site at £1,430!!

Looks like I may have to go the non-flip route :|

That outside decking mount was awesome!.

Pressure sensors all the way round it so that it will not fold flat when someone was to close.

Beautiful, but £6,5k is steep.

Update:

I've found this http://www.rs100.co.uk/product_info.php?products_i...

The benefit of this one is that it is only 40mm deep vs 70mm for the Future Automation one. Oh, and it's over £1,100 cheaper! Plotters, any experience of these?
