Hi all, just looking for a bit of help.

Wall in question is a stud wall, comes with m8 coach bolts and ive just bought some 12mm nylon plugs, but from what ive read it seems like your best just screwing into the wood and not using wall plugs??

How is best to fix to the studs?

There is gaps between the studs and the alternative is to use gripit fixings in the cavity instead.

Tv weighs 30kg.

so wood screws through the plasterboard into the stud and then gripit/wall anchors in the cavity behind the plasterboard?

tv is 65 inch, its actually 25kg when ive double checked

its going to be relatively flat to the wall, it allows for a 12 degree tilt but its not a arm that comes out just flat to the wall.

unfortunately the studs are in a bad place to use, im going for 4 grip it fixings as well as 2 expanding wall anchors, like i say tele is 25kg and only tilts on bracket slightly so not pulling much.

grip it are rated at max 93kg each

managed to get it fitted eventually, i ended up with 3 gripit fixings (one was out of alignment), and 4 coach bolts in wall plugs drilled into the brickwork (didnt realise there was brickwork behind haha), pretty sure it aint moving now, made a right mess of the wall but you cant see luckily.
