Hello everyone, I'm new to wall mounting TVs.
I would like to install my TV on my wall which is apparently a hollow partition (so drywall?).
Yesterday, when I mounted my tiltable wall TV bracket and screwed it in at its 3 contact points on the wall (points aligned vertically), to my dismay, when putting the TV (which weighs 11kg), the wall started to crack and the TV tilted forward/downwards.
I think the TV wall mount wasn't suitable, and I believe that even though it's not a very sturdy wall, I can hang a TV (I've seen that it's possible on BA13).
I wanted to get opinions, help on which wall mount to choose, or if I should have a professional do this work.
Have a nice day.

Furthermore, if the wall in question is not just a partition but has stones behind it, you need to drill through to the wall and use special plugs that anchor into the stone, and that's really solid..
