I am trying to hang my wall mount bracket in our bedroom. bought studfinder and found few but when i drill a whole i think i only get sheet metal it seems like. our condo was built in 2003 and it is 5story building. can i still mount it? if it is built with metal studs, this metal is hollow, it seems really thin… what do i do?

your condo was built with metal studs. best bet to hold a tv is to cut a small hole (smaller than the bracket that mounts on wall and feed in a piece of wood from stud to stud and scre it into the stud using common sheetrock screws and then add the piece of sheetrock you cut out to attach back to the wood. the bracket should then cover your hole and should be stable enough to hold a heavy tv.

if you have a flat bracket with a large number of well spaced mounting holes there should be little problem most of the load on the wall would be vertical and you can use a lotof fixings.
I would try spring toggles or gravity toggles mark the holes thru the bracket make the holes then put all the toggles in the bracket push the toggles thru the wall and tighten then put the other part of the bracket on the tv and hook it on.
