Somewhat vague instruction sheet but since there is nothing difficult to figure out with this mount installation was very straightforward and easy once I figured out the best location for my projector. Adjustments are self explanatory when looking at the mount and making it fit your particular projector is not difficult because the legs that are used for attaching the projector can move in any direction and several sizes of screws as well as washers are included in the kit.Overall the mount looks nice with a white powder coated finish and zinc plated bolts. It would be nice if they included some sort of caps to cover the lag bolts which are used in my installation to secure the mount to the ceiling. In my case I used two lag bolts that screw through the drywall and into the lumber of the truss. I measured, marked and then drilled a pilot hole for each lag bolt and then screwed them in tightly. It is very solid.Most of the joints on the mount are fitted with nylon washers which allow you to just crack the allen cap screws slightly loose, scoot the mount to make an adjustment and then snug them back down again to hold everything firmly in place. It is simple yet it works surprisingly well.The mount does hang the projector slightly farther from the ceiling than I would have liked but it looks fine.I’m using the Benq HT2050 projector which shines 11ft to a Monoprice motorized 120 inch screen it looks really nice and watching movies is awesome.

I had an aging Epson PowerLite 6100 home theater projector that started having auto-iris problems. I decided to replace it instead of getting it repaired. The PowerLite 2040 I replaced it with has a much shorter throw distance and projects upward instead of straight forward.Where I had the 6100 about 14 foot from the screen on a high shelf, the 2040 needed to be 8 foot from the screen and about waist height.I decided to mount the new projector from a door frame using a ceiling mount, and use the ceiling mount setting on the projector. This flips the image and projects forward and down instead of forward and up. I settled on the VIVO Universal Adjustable White Ceiling Projector / Projection Mount Extending Arms (MOUNT-VP01W). I was concerned that the mount might not work since the PowerLite 2040 has three mounting holes instead of four. I figured I would risk it for $11.99.I needn’t have worried. The VIVO fit the projector easily. My only problem was mounting the base to the door frame. That wood was the toughest, hardest wood you could imagine. I nearly got blisters on my hand tightening the screws. The mounting kit includes various mounting hardware, but no wood screws. I bought them (#12 1 1/2″) at the local hardware store for less that a dollar.The project was simple except for the wood screws, and the result is perfect. The projector is up out of the way, and the image fills the screen.

Used with my new Optoma Laser projector….1st things 1st, I am mechanically inclined so for me this projector mount worked perfectly with no modification, “however” it did require a little planning with the mount install on the projector itself. That said, in order to get my 3 points of contact screws tightened on the projector with the mount, 1 screw just needs to be snug tight but not too tight, enough tightness so you can adjust/move and tighten the other 2 screws really good and so the mounting cage is within the mounting center point of contact with the projector. So you know, Optoma’s have only 3 mount holes on the projector itself, some have 4 which won’t be a problem for you unless you come up short, I used 3 mount arms on my mount, the object is to center the mount in between the 3 mount holes. If you get stuck and your a man, ask a woman for help, if available….they are better at math and angles – a scientific fact, “utilize any good tool in your toolbox” plus it doesn’t hurt to get a fresh different perspective, she just might give you a new plan of approach too.It may sound confusing but it really isn’t, while doing it, it would “click” with you…”ah hah I know what he talking about”. Here’s the thing, a snug tight screw is not going to unloosen, the object it’s securing isn’t constantly moving or vibrating in any way to make the mounting screws loosen. People get to critical when they have to secure something, and over do it on high dollar value items.I found the parts well made, finished very well and heavy duty to deal with it’s job of holding the projector in a fixed position. Happy installing, Marc

The media could not be loaded. In summary: Solid design seems to fit all projector types and allows for easy positioning to get just the right angle. Takes some finesse to get the projector on the mount. See the video for a hands on demonstration.I purchased the ceiling mount for my outdoor theater system and am very happy with it. For the price I paid I received a very well made mount that I have complete faith in. It leaves the projector a good distance from the ceiling (about 4 inches) and allows me to easily position the projector at the correct angle depending on where my screen is, which is important because I may not set the screen in the same spot every time.As you can see from the stock photos, there are three pivot points for you to point the projector up and down or tilt left and right. And the arms that attach to the projector itself allow some wiggle so that you can pivot left and right. You can loosen and tighten each pivot point, but just out of the box the screws were loose enough that I could pivot the projector but tight enough that it would stay in place. Perfect!First time setup will likely take you 15 or 20 minutes to get the arms in the right spot (which requires unscrewing some of those arms) but the design is such that it seems like it should fit almost any projector- including supplying 4 different sizes of screws to attach to the mount to the projector. Once the projector is attached to the bottom part of the mount, you will need to attach it to the top part of the mount, which will take another 10 minutes of unscrewing and positioning. Once you’ve got everything in place the first time, removing the projector from the mount will take you about 3 minutes each time. I wish this took less time but I can’t complain because I don’t think that’s really what the mount was made for. And 3 minutes isn’t really a big deal anyway.I can strongly recommend this product!

Easy to install and attach to the ceiling. Adjustable to work with any type of projector. For example on mine I just needed to connect 3 of the arms to get it to work.

I used this mount to hang a small projector above my golf simulator. Easily adjustable, and plenty sturdy enough for my application.

I had fiddled around trying to get this to fit on the three points for my Optoma HD146X and I thought it wasn’t going to work and I was going to have to get something else (indeed I placed a same-day order with Amazon for two other makes and was willing to buy something model-specific). But I then loosened everything up again and moved things around and it did work! See the final configuration in my first photo. A key thing to note is that the distances between the holes are not equal so it does matter which thing you attach where (because of the three out of four choice). Keep moving the thing around and trying again!The screws supplied are too short to be able to grip into the thread for this projector if you want to use the washer too. Seemed a good idea to use the washer so I went and bought more screws (M4-.70 x 12) from my local hardware store and they worked a treat (they are 1/2 inch not 3/8 inch long).Also note that you don’t have clear access to all points to screw in simultaneously – you have to fix them one after the other while having the nuts on the circle part be nice and loose to move things out of the way and then tighten everything up.I followed the example of someone in these reviews to shorten the thing by removing a piece. While I do have my projector on the ceiling now, it’s only attached by 2 screws not 4 because of how everything lines up. As a result I am expecting it will tilt to the right (as you look at the photo) because the weight is higher on that side (the three points of attachment are not over the center of gravity of the projector, unfortunately). If I get too tired of straightening it out again I’m going to reattach with all the parts (which I’ve kept) and just deal with the fact that it will hang a bit lower. On the whole if I were doing this again I’d prefer I had kept all the parts on as supplied.
