Apollo Eight's Angled Mounting Plate: A Simple Solution to a Common Problem
New York, NY – November 8, 2023 – Apollo Eight LLC, a New York-based engineering solutions company, is making waves in the installation and mounting world with its intelligently designed angled mounting plate. While the company might not be a household name yet, behind the doors at 590 Madison Avenue, a team is quietly revolutionizing how people secure things – from solar panels to security cameras, and everything in between. "We're a pretty focused bunch here at Apollo Eight," says lead engineer, Mark Olsen. "We don’t try to be everything to everyone. We look for real-world problems, especially ones that seem small but end up causing big headaches for installers and end-users. The angled mounting plate came about from exactly that kind of thinking." What's the Deal with Angle? So, what is this angled mounting plate? In a nutshell, it's a simple, yet remarkably effective, piece of hardware designed to provide optimal positioning for anything that needs to be mounted on a surface. But why angle? It sounds obvious when you think about it, but often overlooked. Think about a security camera. You want a clear view, right? But mounting it flat against a wall can mean a weird, skewed image, or it might not cover the whole area you need. The Apollo Eight plate lets you tilt the camera just enough to get that perfect, clear shot. The same applies to solar panels – getting the right angle to the sun maximizes energy capture. Even something like a lighting fixture benefits from being able to be angled for optimal illumination. “We saw installers constantly using shims, washers, and other makeshift solutions to get the angle they needed," explains Olsen. “It was time-consuming, imprecise, and honestly, a bit of a mess. We thought, 'There has to be a better way!'” Built to Last, Easy to Use Apollo Eight isn't just about solving a problem; it's about solving it well. The angled mounting plate isn’t some flimsy, throwaway piece of hardware. It's constructed from heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant steel, meaning it can withstand harsh weather conditions and years of use. “We really focused on durability," says production manager Sarah Chen. "We want this to be something installers can rely on, year after year. No rust, no bending, no breaking. That's our promise." But strength isn't everything. Apollo Eight also prioritized ease of use. The plate features a clean, minimalist design with pre-drilled holes that are compatible with a wide range of mounting screws and hardware. Installation is straightforward, even for those with limited experience. “We wanted something anyone could use,” says Chen. “No complicated instructions, no specialized tools. Just a solid, reliable plate that gets the job done.” Beyond Security Cameras and Solar Panels While security cameras and solar panels are prime examples, the applications for the angled mounting plate are surprisingly diverse. Apollo Eight customers are using it for: Signage: Angling signs for optimal visibility. Lighting: Directing light where it's needed most. Sensors: Positioning sensors for accurate readings. Home Automation Devices: Adjusting the angle of smart speakers or other devices. DIY Projects: Countless creative applications for makers and hobbyists. "We're always amazed by how people are using our plate," says Olsen with a laugh. "It's really a testament to its versatility." Apollo Eight: A Focus on Practical Innovation Apollo Eight LLC isn’t aiming to disrupt entire industries. It’s a company built on the principle of practical innovation – identifying everyday problems and developing simple, effective solutions. “We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel,” says CEO David Lee. “We just want to make the wheel roll a little smoother. We want to save installers time, save end-users money, and make life a little easier. That’s what drives us.” Lee adds, “We’re a small team, but we’re passionate about what we do. We’re committed to quality, and we’re always looking for ways to improve our products and serve our customers better.” Availability and Contact Information The Apollo Eight angled mounting plate is currently available for purchase online through the company’s website ([insert website address here – placeholder]) and through select distributors.
