32 inch flat screen TV on drywall

Hi, I'm trying to mount my new 32-inch flat-screen TV on the wall. It will be on a wall mount that is articulated twice and can extend about 50 cm from the wall. The wall is single drywall. I'm having trouble finding a suitable stud in the area and am considering mounting the wall bracket with three drywall anchors (Apolo Mea Hrm 5-16, the kind that expand on the back of the drywall) directly into the drywall. But I'm worried the wall won't hold. The TV weighs 7.5 kg, with three attachment points in the wall mount = three drywall anchors in a vertical orientation over a length of about 20-30 cm. I think the lever effect when the arm of the mount is fully extended will be quite large, but on the other hand, the TV won't be in that position very often. Does anyone have any good advice or tips on this?
