Claim:
An electronic video display mount, comprising: a substantially vertical mounting pole rigidly attached to a pole foot; a mounting collar releasably fixed to a mounting location selectively defined between a minimum distance and a maximum distance from the pole foot on the pole; a substantially horizontally mounted linear slide assembly fixedly attached to the mounting collar at an attachment interface; and a Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) mount pivotally attached to the linear slide assembly; wherein the linear slide assembly further comprises: an extrusion having walls substantially defined by a cross-section projected along a longitudinal axis, an interior cavity defined by the walls, threaded holes for attachment to the mounting collar, a substantially longitudinal axial slot defined in the walls parallel to the longitudinal axis opposite the threaded holes, and a substantially longitudinal brake rail fixedly disposed on an interior surface of the extrusion; a carriage assembly disposed at least partially within the extrusion, the carriage assembly having a complementary mounting surface for attaching the VESA mount to the carriage assembly; a first linear bearing assembly disposed between the carriage assembly and the extrusion; a second linear bearing assembly disposed between the carriage assembly and the extrusion; and a resilient brake assembly disposed between the carriage assembly and the extrusion to add friction to resist unintended substantially longitudinal movement of the carriage relative to the extrusion.
