Xbox One - Kinect TV Mounts?

[Cup_Phil]

Anyone got a tv mount for their Kinect 2.0 ?

My tv cabinet is only about a foot off the floor and it's a bit too low - plus I want to get a soundbar in the new year, so really want to mount the kinect on top of the TV

Microsoft recommend a kit by PDP - http://www.pdp.com/Kinect-TV-Mount-Xbox-One/dp/B00FYMTUQY
But it's not for sale anywhere in the UK that I can find.

There's a couple of cheapo ones on ebay but not sure if they'd be any good and don't fancy my Kinect falling off

Cable ties and blue tack?

Blue tack and an old dvd case works best

Same as mate only place I can put it is on top of my tv.

I'm afraid of it falling off.

what about one of these two

 

[jenic]

The ORB is the same one as the Game one, just different packaging. It doesn't fit properly, so don't get that one.

gorillapod?

Just tried that - works really well but a bit chunky as my gorillapod is the big DSLR Zoom version.
But a light stand works too!

Haha

Think i'll leave it like that till the proper one comes out, the accessories for xbox one seem to be thin on the ground at the moment

 

[SharkyUK]

^ I like it - great idea!

?

I got the Orb one. Been on top my TV since a few days after launch. Seems fine to me.

 

[rctempire]

Johnny 5 no disassemble.

Yeah the game one looks crap, seen it in game. Doesn't fit at all.

How big is the base of the light stand? I've been thinking of doing this for a while but haven't got much room behind my AV units.

How doesn't it fit exactly?

How doesn't it fit exactly?

The raised plastic the kinect sits over should click into the bottom of the kinect. It's the wrong size so doesnt click in so your sensor is effectively just sitting on it rather than secured to it.

 

[Cup_Phil]

If you look on amazon apparently some of the orb ones were sold with the wrong size connector

If you email them they'll send you a replacement

It put me off as it seems very 50/50 whether you get a good one or not

Just seen that now in one of the reviews, might fire off an email and see if I get one.

Just grabbed my Kinect at either end and waggled it up and down from each side.

I waggled it hard enough to know that if the TV took a knock when I was un-drawing the curtains or something the Kinect wouldn't fall off.

Guess I got one of the correct sized models. I do remember they weren't available briefly when I ordered mine and there was talk of their being a design flaw with early models.

I'd forgotten about that but I remember now that I didn't have the Kinect on top of my TV at launch because the stand was temporarily unavailable.

It came a week or so later after I'd got my PS4.

 

[Cup_Phil]

I've just ordered a cheap £14 one from amazon. The light stand works well but it's quite far back so the tv is in the way

I'll post up pics when it arrives

 

[Sam]

Im going to order one of these. They seem the best bet!

It makes sense as I bought mine the day after release, and read about problems with them on AVForums that week too.

I'll see what Game say.

Mine cost me a grand total of £1.58 if I had been patient it would of only cost 85p, I couldn't wait though, stayed on this whole time has never come off well happy with it. Worked for over a year with my xbox 360 kinect camera as well lol here is the link for it

(ghetto mount all the way lol)

^^^ My TV is too thin to use blu-tack - littttttle bit too pikey for me...

 

[Toypop]

PS4 camera would probably get away with it. But that Kinect is a beast.

Ditto. WTF?

My LED jobby is about 8mm thick lol

 

[lokqust]

I've managed to use the mount for my old Kinect. Just clicked on.

 

[Cup_Phil]

I ended up buying a £14 "kelux" mount -> http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00G9GC9J4/?tag=cliospnet01-21

But they've sold out now.

It's really actually very good, clips into the kinect mount well and is really sturdy on the TV

I got a reply from PDP and they said there's will be for sale in February in the UK
