Consumer vs Commercial

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.


Key Design Differences

Feature Consumer Mount ELO Wallaby Stand
Weight Capacity ~15–20 lbs 30–50 lbs
Touch Stability Low High
Cable Management External Internal channel
Materials Plastic/aluminum Powder-coated steel
Service Access None Easy front/rear access

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.
