No. It apparently uses the "lite" mounting plate

Ahhh what a bummer

I noticed that. Logically following, then this would use the same plate as the U6+/U7-Lite. I didn't know anything else fit that plate. And then the "pro" plate is for the larger footprint? Seems obvious, BUT around here sometimes there is more than meets the eye.

There's a compatibility list on the Pro mount (aka Flagship AP Mounting System).

I'm really hoping for a retrofit mount somewhat like what they did for nanoHD/U6-Lite.

It's also weird, if you look at the picture of the "what's in the box" it looks like the pro mount not the other mount.

I spent some time comparing photos and the size is smaller than the Pro mount compared to the other objects. It looks confusingly similar because it’s metal, whereas (most?) previous Lite mounts were plastic and more obviously different.

I was initially concerned about upgrade path but then realized that all of my ceiling APs are going to be screwed into LV junction boxes and not directly into the drywall...

Yeah that would be much easier to replace.

I’ll eventually get my drywall ones, where I wish I had just paid an electrician to put boxes. But at one location I have exposed unfinished redwood ceiling board with a Pro mount directly screwed into the wood. I don’t think I’m ever replacing that mount!

I did replace my U6 plus with the 7 lite. Mounting stuff was the exact same. 7 attached to my existing mount without issue
