 Very good Projector MountOct 27, 2009
By G. Baumbach
This is a very good projector mount. I had a very difficult install ahead of me (low basement ceiling, with a support beam blocking my projector view on the ceiling (I had to mount the project behind the beam to get my 106" image). Needless to say, this was not going to be an easy install to get the image lined up without the beam interfering (and I have a DLP projector with not many placement options and limited zoom).
Long story short, this mount worked. I would have liked the three twist screws that connect the projector to the mount to be more flexible without having the projector come loose (which it did a few times). Making the ever so fine adjustments was a bit difficult since I could not get a screwdriver in there being only a few inches below the ceiling. I eventually used a drill bit and vice grip to do the job. Again, this was about a difficult install as you could probably do and this mount did the job. In most people's installs, you can adjust the arms alone and achieve great results...I had to use everything I could do to get this to seat perfectly.
I highly recommend the mount and I would be surprised if this couldn't meet your installation needs. Fit and finish is excellent and the mount won't budge once properly tightened (which is good because I do not look forward to adjusting my projector anytime soon).

 Could not be more pleased...Jun 29, 2009
By R. McRight
For starters, in the interest of full discretion, this unit is my only experience with a projector mounting system. That being said, I would highly recommend this mount to anyone, veteran or novice, looking for a projector mount. On to the specifics. This mount is sturdy. I'm lucky enough to live in a loft apartment, with exposed beams (approx. 8"x12"). After installing the 3 long screws for the mounting plate, I gave it the ol' "wiggle test". It did not budge. Long story short (maybe a bit late for that) it passed the I'm hanging, all 205 lbs, from this projector mount test. This mount is very adaptable. It can be used as a wall or ceiling mount. The 12" extension is easily left out of the configuration for close to ceiling mounts. All the hing points are secured with a main hinge bolt, and a locking bolt. I found that the locking bolt when tightened full down will hold the projector in what ever position it is in, but with a little nudging it can be moved ever so slightly to whatever orientation it needs to be in. Once the secondary locking screws are tightened down this thing does not move. It also comes with a number of screws and 2 sets of arms to attach most any projector I could imagine. On the remote chance you have a projector with mounting points that are a completely obscure thread size and count anyone comfortable with hardware could be in and out of Home Depot or Lowe's in 10 min with the parts needed, less $2 tops. All in all excluding some hyper advanced pneumatic operated, robotic ninja, space monkey navigated, projector mount; I cant see someone really beating this unit in terms of strength, adaptability, and cost.
P.S. To the reviewer that complained that he or she was having to use the screws that hold the projector to the mount, to adjust it, please spend your free time making a friend with the smallest understanding of mechanical know-how, not confusing people with sub-par Amazon reviews.

 Not so universal.Mar 14, 2010
By Lawrence Decker
"MBS"
Ordered this product when I ordered a Viewsonic Pro8100 projector so I could mount it. This mount only includes up to a 5mm thread and the Viewsonic requires a 6mm. So after 2 trips to Lowes to get not only the correct screw size but also the correct spacers because of it's design I was a little put off. After getting the correct pieces the projector is mounted perfectly in place. Good product overall but they need to place an * next to Universal.

Works. . .good price. . .but not ideal.Jan 21, 2008
By Tori L. Harris
"Patrick O'Brian Fan"
There is no shortage of overpriced projector mounts on the market, so I'll give this one props for being a reasonably good value. From my experience, I also believe that it truly will fit most digital projectors on the market. I have to say, however, that the design leaves a lot to be desired. Without going into too much detail, the projector is attached by three mounting screws that also connect with the primary adjustments for moving the projector after it is mounted. Suffice it to say that you need to be VERY careful when making adjustments, since turning the adjustment knobs requires you to loosen the corresponding screw (yes, one of the three that is holding up your expensive projector). I had some tense moments getting mine mounted and believe it would be VERY easy to send your new projector crashing to the floor with this thing.
Bottom line: Works as advertised, but is difficult to use, suffers from typically poor documentation, and requires great care to avoid damaging(dropping) the projector itself. I previously had one from OmniMount that I liked much better. . .albeit at a higher price.
Super easy and great price.Oct 20, 2011
By Chris Norton
"MediaPro"
this mount was a great price and that is why I ordered it at first. I figured that I didn't have much to lose. I'm really glad I did because it works perfectly, and was only a 20 minute install.(some of that time was due to the fact that my drill wasn't well charged) I have read some reviews about the instructions not being as clear as they could be, and that may be true. But if you are able to successfully complete a children's shapes game you can handle this install project.
