Very well made but with one obvious drawback, October 6, 2009

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)

I've been installing commercial grade white boards and display boards for over 7 years. I've always used HILTI wall mounts for that purpose (their rated at 75 pounds per mount!) and so I immediately recognized that these Omnimount mounts use the exact same concept as the HILTI mounts. I'm impressed with how much weight they will sustain, although now that we're in the era of 30-40lbs flat screens these are actually provably overkill for most applications. These Omnimounts will absolutely support any flat panel you through at them (at least up to 42") easily enough.

Installation is very easy. The mounting system comes with a cardboard pattern to help place the mounts brackets in the correct place. All you really need is a power drill and a screwdriver. You can have this wall mounting system up in less than 30 minutes if you know what you're doing. Once in place, it provides a very flush mount with little to no wasted space behind the TV panel. Depending on the inputs of your particular brand of tv, this could present a problem for cabling. If your HDMI inputs point straight out the back of the panel, you'll need to make a pretty sharp right angle turn with the HDMI cable, which means you'll want a fairly flexible HDMI cable.

The only downside to this system is that of viewing angle once the TV is installed. If you're installing it directly across from your seating arrangement and at mid-eye level, viewing angle wont be in issue. However, if you're mounting the TV up higher (for example above a fireplace mantle) these Omnimounts don't give you the flexibility of a more expensive mounting bracket that allows you to tilt the screen downwards. This isn't a failing of the Omnitmounts, but is a limitation worth mentioning. If you plan to mount at eye level (which is actually recommended for best performance from flat panels whether they're LCD or PLASMA), this won't be an issue.

Overall this is a really great kit for the cost, especially if you plan to mount at eye level. At about a fourth of the cost of a full mounting kit, Omnimounts are a good alternative to higher priced options.

4.5/5 Stars

Clever, one- stop solution, October 14, 2009

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)

I acquired this mount to pin my computer monitor to an exact location on the wall. Unlike most other mounts, this one advertises to work with drywalls, therefore not needing to use a stud finder or imposing limits on location. I expected some extra engineering feat because of this (perhaps some sort of wall plate with multiple drill holes to spread the load), but this turned out to not be the case. The load will be secured only in four places. I don't think I'd attempt to hang my 42" Plasma on a drywall, but if you have a lighter TV (LCD) this may work for you. It did work very well for my 21" computer LCD.

The packaging is very compact and neat (reminds you of a certain Cupertino- based company); and instructions are simple (although in my package, the booklet refers to items as 1,2,3.. whereas in the plastic bags they are labeled as A,B,C... minor detail). If you are installing on a drywall, all you need is a power drill, everything else (including the drill bit) is included. If you're installing onto masonry or wood (studs) you need additional tools. Because there are four stubs to be individually fixed to the wall, you need to be careful to level and space them out correctly. To help you with this, there is a cardboard template that also includes a simple bubble level. My template was a little warped and the bubble level fell off at some point, so I wish this was made of plastic, not paper (and to equalize the environmental footprint, the packaging could be made of paper, not plastic!).

Overall, as a trouble- free, thought-out solution for what I happened to have in mind, this was a winner. I'm only subtracting 1 star because of the cardboard template and my nagging thought that additional mount points would be necessary for carrying a heavier-than-average 42" TV.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)

The Omnimount was extremely easy to install. My wife, who is not tech savvy at all, or remotely handy, was able to successfully use the supplies to line up our mount and put our 36" flat screen tv on the wall of our new home. It looks great and was painless! It was a little pricier than other mounts, but the simplicity makes up for it! One small problem, as with most wall mounts, is what to do with all the cords running from your tv to other devices and power outlets. It'd be nice if someone invented a mounting device that took care of that unsightly issue.

This review is from: PS3 Eye Camera Mounting Clip (Accessory)

I have a SONY 52-XBR9 and was worried that this would not fit correctly or would scratch the top of the TV, but fortunately there is padding in place of where it clips onto the tv. It does not clip on hard to where it would damage any part of the TV. It is snug and just sits in place. Also, the camera lens is still adjustable.

I would recommend this for anyone who is wanting to place their PS3 Eye on top of their LCD.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: PS3 Eye Camera Mounting Clip (Accessory)

Purchased 2 of these and they both work great! One now sits on top of my older Sony KDS-60A3000 rear-projection LCD HDTV and the other sits on top of my Samsung 46C750 LCD HDTV. The clip adjusts nearly 180 degrees so each fits snugly while accommodating the Playstation Eye perfectly.

As a long-time owner of the PS Eye, I don't know why someone didn't come up with this sooner. Well worth the $12.99 purchase cost to easily and harmlessly mount the PS Eye on top of your flatscreen TV and to avoid the PS Eye slipping off its high perch.

Perfect PS3 Move Clip For My TV, September 22, 2010

Customer Video Review Length:: 0:54 Mins

I needed this so I could have put my Playstation Eye on top of my TV for the PS3 Eye camera mainly for the better angle. I recently just bought the PS3 Move bundle. I didn't like putting it under the TV, because of the corded wire the Playstation Eye comes with, and it got in the way of my other things I put on the TV stand as well. I now have it sitting on top of my tv because of the clip, and the cord is behind the TV. Now my TV stand is more clear, neat, and organized.

The PS3 Move Clip is awesome. I opened the box, clipped on the Playstation Eye to it. I just then rested it onto top of my TV. It was that easy. It has a secure fit, and you don't have to worry about it slipping or falling off. No worries about damaging your TV as well. It has padding in which it will protect your TV. It will also protect your Playstation Eye from scratching as well because it fits right into the clip. As shown in the video clip my LCD didn't have a flat surface on top and even if it did have a flat surface, I'd still buy it so I wouldn't have to worry about my Playstation Eye falling off. Due to things like from gaming (vibrations). I have an Philips LCD which has the outer ring for the ambilight feature, and because of this I couldn't put the Playstation Eye on top of my TV. So I bought this clip for it, and it's simply perfect for it. Gaming will be more fun now, and not having to worry about interference. When the Playstation Eye was on the bottom of the TV, I didn't like the angle that much. Even though you can adjust the Playstation Eye, it didn't cover the entire range I wanted it to be in. Now that it's on top, it has a better view of me. Playstation Move will be fun to play with more now, and I can't wait for the other amazing games to come out such has Time Crisis: Razing Storm and Fight: Lights Out. I already own Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11, and recently just bought Heavy Rain (from amazon's goldbox deal). I bought it mainly because it's PS3 Move compatible.

Solid protein with overly sugary taste, October 9, 2008

N. Singh "Obamas the man" (Denver) -

I can recommend this product based on its nutritional profile. It has a lot of protein, little fat, and a medium amount of carbs. This makes for a great post workout shake.
As far as taste goes, its on the sweet side. It tastes like youd probably imagine-like fake sugary cinnamon roll.
On the bright side, it smells delicious, exactly like those cinnabon places.

Solid, reliable protein, May 22, 2009

Pulse (Boston, MA) -

As most people that use protein powders, I've tried many. This is a good, solid one that provides above average levels to ratio than most (24g per scoop). Bloating doesn't seem to be an issue and i'm into my 3rd 6lb container at this point. Nor do I have any lactose reactions as I have with some (lactose intolerant). The flavor is good (I've only had the chocolate so far) but there are better. Of course I'm not taking this stuff for the enjoyment or taste, if that's what you're looking for than there are plenty of tastier ones out there but you won't get the same results this provides (at least from what I've found for myself so far). I'm one of those people that can gain weight (a.k.a get fat) very easily and I haven't seen any issues with that in using this product. I'm getting a lean gain vs. heavy bulk gain as others have done to me in the past. Overall it's a good, quality protein at a very reasonable cost...highly recommended for people seriously looking to get results.

This review is from: Optimum Nutrition Nitrocore 24, Ultimate Chocolate, 6 Pound (Health and Beauty)

After years using nutritional supplements, I have come to the conclussion that thee less the better. There is currently a lot of marketing to support a multimillion dollar market. The goal is to make people believe that you need all kind of stuffs in order to succeed with your fitness/bodybuilding goals. That is totally wrong! Now I realize that there is nothing more important than this 3 elements:
-food (diet)
-training/exercise program
-rest (sleep!)
Each one is as important as the other.
If at all needed, what I would recommend is:
-1 multivitamin supplement (centrum or similar 1 tablet a day is fine. Please do not go crazy swallowing 10-12 pills a day of those fancy MV, hurting your stomach, pocket and soul)
-fish oil (for the potential CV benefits)
-protein.

this product helps to provide the required protein in case your diet can not provide them. It is not an absolute necessity but handy for those that do not have time to cook 5 meals a day or pay for them in a restaurant. ON is a good brand and their products are like generic meds: priced right, deliver what promised.
Taste is good, mix well even in a shaker (specially with water ---before training for faster absorption---you do not want to go bloated to the gym). I prefer this mix of protein over pure whey protein. I just think is more "natural" for your body.

Just make sure you are not overtraining (common mistake), have enough rest/sleep and eat well. Do not go for fancy pre, post work out, pre sleep, post sleep, intra work out, pre/intra/post defecation supplements(do you get the idea). You would just be wasting your money. You should know what that guy in the magazine really uses (steroids/hormones).
I hope this opinion would help you make a better decision.
