Bro, just screw it centered in the 16" studs with (pre-drilled) 3 inch screws. You should be fine. I have my 65" Samsung hung like that for a few years now. That's why no one makes bases over 32"; you don't need it! Wall won't sag, studs won't bow, tv won't fall, no more headaches, happy life.
And if you really want something sturdy, open your sheetrock carefully and install a solid 12-18" x 3/4" board in between the two studs. Replace sheetrock, tape-n-float, texture, and paint. But that's way overkill if you ask anyone.

Why the thumbs down? I have this mount and it works great.
Probably because this was the regular price not on sale a year ago...at least that's what I bought it for randomly during the week in January. Good mount though. Used studs though, so can't speak to drywall mounting.
Been shopping for a full motion mount for months now , literally ever single one of them is garbage 🗑️
I can not even find a single one that can mount to my wall ,not even the $400 Sanus from BB ,who ever designs these things are complete morons
I have normal sheet rock and plaster walls with standard 16" stud spacing, I just took down my old 50" Panasonic plasma
From the wall,(not easy)
To replace it with a 55" LG C1 OLED
Only to find out that the collective I.Q. of the planet seems to have dropped at least 100 points since 2009 when I bought the plasma and the wall mount for it .
The old mont is able to hit my studs no problem, but it is not full motion and I want the maximum extension from the wall I can get since I am really nearsighted now and the games ,esowi playstation have the most ridiculously small fonts for everything, I mean can they help it , really.
So I went and picked up the Costco Sanus model that extends 28" from the wall
Only to find out that the wall plate is too short to even be used at all
It misses the studs by just under 1" on each side.
I have been buying and return these things like crazy ,first one didn't fit the TV ,second one was redesigned,
Bought them both before I took the old TV down turns out neither of them would have worked anyway.
Nor does the new one I just got
Went to BB and measured the wall plate for the expensive Sansus ,FML it it too short too and even worse than the cheaper Costco one!
Spent hundreds of hours looking on Amazon ,not a single one can mount to my wall , not a single one of them have holes 32" stud spacing of you need to mount the TV with a center stud centered behind the center of the TV,
This was not a problem 15 years ago but it is now apparently ,I was really not expecting this at all.
People have really gotten a whole lot dumber in a very short amount of time it seems, so frustrated especially since the Sanus only misses it by under 2"
God damnit those people are just so stupid all they would have had to do was make the wall plate like 1 1/4 " bigger and provide max hole spacing not even 2" wider.
It looks I might be able to drill out the Sanus from Costco but just barely ,the holes will be at the bleeding edge of the corners ,if this doesn't work it looks like I am all out of options unless I get a welder to weld extensions to each end
Imagine working for Sanus and designing these this for a living and not even knowing you are making a product that can not even be used, and then having the balls to charge $400 for it.
Dude that was difficult to read man. Are you struggling to find something that can accommodate your 16" apart studs?

Yes I know , thanks for reading though
But yeah TL;DR is that. If you have 16" stud soat you might not be able to use ANY currently manufactured full motion wall mount because if you need to center it across 3 studs you need just over 32"
And none of them provide a wall plate that is wide enough to do that
Closest is the Costco Sanus model which may or may not be able to be drilled out if you remove the end caps from the rails

This might be over kill but I'd cut out the drywall between the 16" spacing and install blocking. That's what I did. Extremely sturdy and a little spackle and paint. Youll never know that part was every taken out

If you go to lowes they sell extremely strong anchors to put on drywall that can hold a lot of weight. Just put them on each side of the base plate and use strong screws on the middle stud.

I have 16" studs throughout my house, and installed a full motion Sanus I got from Walmart on clearance no problem. I just installed a second one a couple weeka ago. Both TVs are 55". The first one has been in the wall for about a year now. I Didn't have to drill anything out on the mount, and had no problem mounting to studs. I can't remember the model, so unfortunately can't be much help, but just letting you know they're out there. I bought it before I even knew I had 16" stud spacing.
