absolutely. both with snap speaker mount and chief. much easier and actually better looking than trying to get screws, nuts, bolts, etc. to work.
I love supporting product that supports me!

done similar science projects using the thinstall center channel adapter TA350 and screwing that to the sonos mount. used that setup with a bose bar as well.

we don't have access to the snap adpater

note the ta350 is very narrow and we've had to use other metal (or the sonos mount) to extend it to line up with a bar or center channels mount points. have been unwilling to screw into the case of any of the speakers. the end job looks ok but the bar sometimes cants forward as in edizzle's pic above.

used screws and double nuts to extend and fix the screw head's position to slide the speaker, using the key hole mount point to accept the screw head of a paradigm millennia lp speaker.

Has anyone used the Flexson brackets with an articulating mount...?

Getting ready to mount a 49" LG 4k & Sonos Playbar using a Snap Strong Articulating mount and the Snap sound bar brackets. I've never used the Razor articulating mount and I have their regular String in stock. Don't see why it won't work?

Given the depth of the playbar, just thinking aloud, not sure if saving an inch of depth on a mount makes a lick of difference. I'd use the std mount too.
There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions.

As others have noted, I may space the panel a little from the bracket so that the PlayBar and TV are close to the same profile. Otherwise, the Playbar will sit a bit proud of the TV.

This is another possible option instead of the Snap Brackets [Link: av-express.com]

I have not used the Snap yet. I have used the Leon Tonecase and this seems like the same piece included in their kit. Depending on the TV, an inch could make a difference. I was using the Leon with the Chief Articulating Mount, like Sbsmarthomes with a 4K Samsung.

When I initially put the uprights on first then the mounting bracket, the TV sat too far off the wall. With a 4K TV the bottom is much deeper then the top half so that already makes the TV seem like its hanging far enough off the wall, especially when you can see the side of the TV in parts of the room.  I then tried reversing it but that caused issues with getting the mount retracted as well as blocking access to inputs for ethernet and HDMI.  In this case I ended up getting the side speaker adapter from Chief and then mounting the speaker bar uprights to that piece.

I've used the above linked bracket and like it. It will be what I use going forward. It's not perfect but it's better than the Snap one..

That's a good find. Thanks for posting it. Especially when you get a TV with a tapered bottom edge it can be difficult to keep the soundbar from leaning forward which I don't like.
