Consumer mounts are built for TVs: lightweight screens, static orientation, and occasional use. Commercial mounts handle continuous operation, vibration, and heavier touch interaction.
ELO Wallaby Stands, for example, are engineered to support constant touch input without shake. Their base plates balance center-of-gravity to prevent tipping, something most cheap mounts fail at.

Installation and Maintenance
Commercial stands route power and network cables internally, hiding clutter and preventing tampering.
They use standardized VESA mounting (75×75 or 100×100) for universal compatibility.
Every Wallaby kit includes a base or countertop option, adjustable for ADA compliance.
Real-World Example
A fast-food chain initially used off-brand TV mounts for 21.5” I-Series displays. After several months, vibrations caused touch drift and broken brackets. Replacing them with ELO Wallaby floor stands eliminated all issues, cut setup time in half, and gave a cleaner look.
Final Thoughts
Strong hardware deserves a strong foundation. Using certified commercial stands ensures stability, safety, and a professional finish, especially for public-facing kiosks.
