VIVOUniversal Extending Ceiling Projector Mount, Height Adjustable Projection, White, MOUNT-VP02W

Super nice ceiling mounting bracket kit for digital projector! This is made of nice sturdy metal and aluminum extruded materials with a nice white powdercoat finish. There is hardware and everything needed to install this and mount the projector. There is a ton of adjustability with the way that this bracket has been made. The bracket can also be extended for additional height adjustment. I used this in a brew house for a video presentation and mounted on some bracketing in the ceiling. I was able to tilt, rotate and adjust the projector in every possible way. The mounting brackets that attach to the projector are versatile as well and will adapt to any configuration you throw at it! Sturdy and well thought design. Two thumbs way up!

I've had projectors for the last 12 years or so. This mount has about all the customizations you could want as well as feeling good quality at the same time.Here are some issues that arose in the past using other projector mounts, that aren't issues on this projector mount:1. Difficulty centering projector with the attachments (weight needs to be evenly distributed so that the projector mount is at the center of mass of the projector; this mount makes it VERY easy to center as well as spin the piece that actually connects to the main shalf of the mount).2. Cords being messy / visible (this mount allows power and other cords to flow down the hollow core)3. Difficulty installing projector after all mounts are connected. (this mount allows you to pre-bolt and then effectively just slide in the projector so that it holds all the weight as you make any finishing touches on angles / level).4. You can increase the length of the shaft (isn't possible on all mounts).5. You can install the mount flat on a ceiling, angled on a visible stud in the ceiling, or even side mount. I'd be concerned with side mounted projectors, but the bolts over all are long and thick enough that I believe it could hold the weight.Here are some issues you may run into using this projector mount:1. The bolts are very thick and could result in splitting or breaking wood studs if you are in a newer house.2. The layout of the mount for the bolts will be difficult to get more than 2 bolts in on a standard 1.5" stud (2x4) on a ceiling, I can see it requiring cutting into the ceiling and adding supports to actually hang it perfectly. 2 bolts may be enough to hold the weight just from the ceiling.

This mount is cheap and does what it is supposed to. The armature has enough room to hide power, HDMI, and trigger wires with a little to spare. The mount is white just like most ceilings (why black mounts and projectors on a white ceiling? Silly.).This is ideal for my particular installation. Nobody makes a mount designed to clear a standard ceiling-mount ceiling fan. There are long down rods and tight surface-mount brackets , but no mid-length mounts.This mount is made of thin aluminum and is easy to hacksaw through to create a custom length. Measure twice and thoroughly think through the geometry first. To accomplish this you will need:Tape measureHacksawMasking tape to protect the finishMotor tool or file to finish cutout for wiresSandpaper to clean up edgesDrill and bit to redrill holes in down rodThere are countless odd custom installation needs that this could be the answer to. Plus it’s cheap enough that if you muck it up there’s no need to cry.I do not like the way the projector bracket mounts to the down rod. It’s awkward and damned near impossible. Perhaps it would work better if the bracket/down rod assembly were connected first and then slid into the female section of the down rod. You’d still have to fight the wires but at least there would only be one screw to contend with.The second big ding in the score is the lack of fine adjustment in the mount. Using the mount to correct projector/screen alignment is preferable to using lots of keystone correction. Most mounts have provisions for tilting the projector front/back and left/right through screws or thumbscrews. This one relies on manhandling. I even had to shim the top of the mount to get it to hold level.If I were still installing projectors for pay I’d definitely keep one or two of these on hand for odd installations. It would not be difficult for the manufacturer to modify this design to intentionally be cut to size. That sure would be handy and, I’d assume, probably sell well.

This product works well. It’s durable and holds an average sized projector. (The package says weight limit of 30 lbs.) We used it with the Epson 3800. Initially, I thought it would not work, but I ended up googling the mount and learned that we could connect three of the legs instead of four, one in the front center hole and two angled at the back holes. It was easy to mount and is very flexible for tilting to adjust your projector.
