suptekWhite Projector Ceiling Mount Bracket Fits Flat or Sloped Ceiling Height Adjustable with Extendable Length for LCD/DLP Projectors (PR05)

I’m really confused as to why this mount has so many negative reviews. It really made my decision harder but I decided to buy it anyway and see for myself.This mounts works as described and was really not hard to understand. I believe the manufacture has updated the design which I feel is important to mention. The adjustable arm has a notch at the end of it to prevent it from sliding off. It’s literally impossible for the projector to slide off unless you intentionally install it the wrong way. The instructions are no different than IKEA instructions and was easy to understand and not hard to read at all.The only thing I’ll say is be careful how much you tighten the sliding arm. The screw in the arm has teeth on the back and if you screw it too tight it will be impossible to undo once the weight of the projector/gravity starts to pull on it. This happened to me and I actually had to ask for a replacement which Amazon quickly sent out. It is very sturdy and I can guarantee you’re projector will not fall of. It would rip from the ceiling down before this thing comes apart, it’s that sturdy.Even though the manufacturer says it can be mounted on a wall, I truly believe this should only be mounted on the ceiling. This is really designed to handle vertical weight and I can see this being a problem for horizontal wall mounts. The mount naturally has a bit of wiggle to make fine adjustments to it, but when mounted sideways I could see this being a nightmare to get your projector level and staying level.So if you’re mounting a projector on this ceiling this is the one for you, if you’re trying to mount it on a wall proceed with caution.

Very good product

Everything I expected and more. Easy to install, balance and secureHolds my projector securely and I never need to worry about it falling on my head

Pros: This ceiling mount is very sturdy and doesn't stand out. Most people don't even realize we have a projector mounted until we point it out.I love how you can hide the cables inside the stem. The opening is wide enough to route a 3 prong power cable through it.The kit comes with 4 mounting arms for the projector, our Epson EF-100 only has 3 mounting points so I just didn't use the 4th and I was able to adjust the angles for a perfect fit! Very versatile.Since our ceiling outlet is centered on the room but the projector lens is not, I have to tilt the arm sideways a little and the projector mount downward. The the fasteners do a great job holding it firmly in place. Very solid design.Cons: none. Any cons I would have would be due to user error or impatience during installation.Advice: make sure that you center the projector before mounting it because the projection angle makes a huge difference to how "square" your image is. Also, don't over tighten the screws. It's tempting but tighten them just enough so the joints don't move. The projector is basically just hanging there anyway, so you just need to tighten the screws enough so it doesn't swing or sway, or to fight gravity if you have to tilt it downward to project where you want it to. Also if you have to make adjustments, loosen the screws first. Forcing it to move while the screws are already tightened will wear out the metal or could break the screw if you have it on too tight.

The extendable post works as expected. However the joints movement in the post base and the projector connector is not moving in the same direction, one is left to right and the other is up and down depending on the orientation. The base joint should level the post to straight position while the project connector joint should take care of the projector angel position if you want it tilt up or down. if you want to move those 2 joints in the same direction, then it wont.

I can see where this mount will fit virtually any projector, given the multiple ways it can be configured to line up the brackets to the mounting holes. You will find there are many ways you can do it, so it is a bit of a puzzle to find the best way to mount it.I used it for a ViewSonic PX701HD which has a three mounting holes in a triangular pattern. I only needed two of the arms for this, and I was able to center the post at the projectors center of gravity, so how it hung while the screws were loose was already close to where it needed to be positioned.I also turned the post 90 degrees, which was a better position for my wires to go through. The other advantage to turning the post is you can get some left-right fine adjustment if your projector has no horizontal keystone correction. You can see in the picture, mine is adjusted just a bit to the left to get a perfect horizontal alignment with the screen (without having to move the screen or the whole mounting bracket).It is very solid with all screws tight, even through there are no washers provided with most of the screws. Projector position has not moved a bit since I set it up about two weeks ago.

I would avoid this mount at all costs. I had hung a $1600.00 laser projector for a golf simulator set up in my garage. I am pretty handy and this was a tedious (many small parts) set up, but I guess not too bad overall. BUT, the extension adjustment that slides up and down is on a “tension mount”, like some others as well. Long story short, all was well for 3 days, but on the 4th day the tension released for some reason (maybe cold temps, this was hanging in my garage) and the new projector came crashing down. Killed it. Luckily it is being replaced. This is a decently made mount but a poor design as far as securing the projector from the extension adjustment arm. Do not trust it! I should have trusted my better judgement as I commented to my son, “I really am a little uneasy with this mount”. But I had the tension tightened as much as I could and my projector weight was well within the stated limits of the mount. So I figured it would be ok. But not so. It’s priced cheaply, looks decent, but just a poor design. Will be using a different mount for sure next time….
