It's that time of year again. Professional football is soon to start, as well as other entertainment like the fall TV season. Feeding Americans' hunger for football is Metra Home Theater Group and its new Helios Tailgate Mount.
Built to withstand the rigors of outdoor applications, the Helios Tailgate Mount is compatible with televisions ranging in size from 32 inches to 55 inches, and weights up to 60 pounds. Describing the mount as a plug-and-play solution that attaches directly to a 2-inch trailer hitch, and with its black powder-coat finish, the Florida-based company says the mount is capable of surviving rain, snow and other weather elements.
“The new Helios Tailgate Mount is ideal for those that enjoy tailgating and want an easier solution for television mounting installation,” explains Jessy Crabb, general manager of Metra Home Theater Group. “Our line of Helios products are known for their rliability and we're excited to engineer something that can be utilized for outdoor, recreational needs. We invite those atending CEDIA 2016 to visit our booth [3005] and check out the latest solutions we have to offer, including the Helios Tailgate Mount.”
Metra also points out the Helios Tailgate Mount is VESA compliant with 100×100, 200×200, 400×400 and 600×400 mounting patterns, and it says the mount comes with all of the necessary accessories to mount televisions.
