In the app, select your Vogel's TV mount and your television. The app helps you step by step with handy information and mounting videos.
You can use the poster and the camera screen on your smartphone or tablet to determine the best position on the wall for your television and where the first hole should be drilled.
The app shows you exactly where to mark the first drill hole for the ideal position of your television on the wall.
The DrillRight app can be downloaded on a phone or tablet as follows: · Go to the App Store or Play Store and search for 'DrillRight', select and download the DrillRight app.
You can use the app with Android phones and tablets version 7.0 and newer, or iPhone 10 and newer. However, the newer your operating system, the better the app works.
Usually, the newer your phone is, the better the result. It's preferable to use the app with a phone that is no more than 3 years old. This ensures it's equipped with the best camera and sensors, resulting in a more precise drill hole.
Additionally, your phone must support "Depth API" to ensure cameras and sensors work well together.
If your device doesn't meet these requirements, the App Store or Play Store will indicate that the app is not compatible with your device, and you won't be able to download the app.
The DrillRight app displays the first drilling hole with a maximum deviation of 3 cm. The latest devices provide the most accurate results. Therefore, always choose the newest phone available when using the app.
Factors that ensure the best result:
• Reference points on the wall, such as patterned wallpaper or post-its
• Well-lit room
• Measure the result afterward for extra accuracy
It depends on the sensors in your phone, but most phones can indicate fairly accurately whether your TV is level. Make sure there are no cases or buttons obstructing. Mount your TV level in a position parallel to the wall.
In a solid concrete or solid brick wall, you don't need to worry about where you drill.
For a wall with wooden studs, you always need to drill into the studs. The app cannot detect where those studs are, so you cannot determine the first drill hole with it. However, you can still use the app to get an idea of how you want to position the TV. You will then need to move the drill hole to the nearest stud. If you don't want to consider the studs, you can purchase a stud adapter to position a full-motion mount freely on the wall.
For other types of walls (or if you're unsure of the wall type), we always recommend consulting a professional installer. It may be that you have a non-solid wall made of concrete or brick. In that case, the TV may not stay in place without proper preparation. You may need additional installation materials.
