Barkan Full Motion TV Wall Mount

Just got 3rd 3400W (white, full motion). 65", 65", 55" TVs. I'm not so great with doing reviews, I honestly only came to write one as I'm blown away @some of the reviews here. I've bought plenty of junk in the past & had legit quality issues.... this is NOT in that category by a mile!! I can only surmise many of the reviews expressing disappointment &/or product failure are likely 99%+ user created problems. The supposed cracking sound/product fail with a 65" - I couldn't possibly have *lucked out* on 2 65"s & a 55"...?? A few others dropped my jaw, but the jist was all the same: installer not product failure!If you're not mounting into a stud or utilizing high quality wall anchors - even if that means you go spend $2 @Lowe's - you really only have yourself to thank. How can you blame or even question a product's quality OR be salty if anything goes wrong if that's the decision you make?? I wouldn't even hang a small TV anywhere but in a stud. I can't think of the last large mirror of sizeable wall hanging I hung anywhere but a stud! Particularly with a model like this that adjusts in so many ways/multiple segment+movement arm on top of the movement of the TV attached mount... Even if it's not exactly where you want the TV to be: it's wiser to mount securely in a stud, then adjust the TV to the place/angle you want it.For those who aren't handy/don't know what they're doing: there's loads of people you can pay pretty modest amounts to come mount a TV for you (or ask a friend/family member who's semi-handy!!). May seem like an undesirable expense, yet it sure beats the $$ for repair/replacement of a WALL & $1000+ TV! I'm a middle aged female homeowner & did these by myself. (probably wise to have a 2nd person to attach the TV, but hanging the mount isn't a 2 player game). To be fair: I do quite a lot of work on my house & am not criticizing those without that knowledge... I'm a business professional, not a carpenter. It's each person's choice to learn things, find/hire others to do things they can't or try to 'wing it' then get angry when it fails! What's more, with this item: if you truly found it defective/subpar/missing parts/etc: lifetime warranty & support - from the maker!!! Contact the company (not the Amazon seller) for assistance &/or replacement. How tough is that?? It's a real company, est 1988, not an overnight e-commerce reseller of other people's junk that has 15 logos on it/50 resellers peddling it! Barkan makes & supports their own patented products.. Certainly a rarity on Amazon or much of anywhere anymore! I don't work for Barkan, don't know anyone there, have no vested interest in the company, wasn't paid to write this - I'm just another user who relies on reviews, particularly when I don't know much about something & think many reviews here don't reflect the product at all fairly or accurately.... an ego or 10 who can't/won't admit operator error.Solid build, truly FULL motion in all directions/angles, easy install (with some basic working knowledge), VERY substantial hardware, high quality & durable finish, thoughtfully made covers to put over the bolts for an even cleaner look. Well worth the slightly higher cost to have the solid build/durable finish/real company to go to for lifetime product support/replacement if needed. I also really appreciate that it's white (1 less ugly black electronic/component/piece of hardware to look at! If only my TV/soundbar/cables could be white..... Most ppl have light/white walls & ceilings; I could forever live without all the black components that stick out like a sore thumb). Adjusting any angle/direction is VERY easy - like with the power of a finger or two [even if arthritic]!
