VIVO Universal 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!

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.

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.

I'm posting this more to help others who have projectors with 3 mount points on the bottom than as a normal review. It's very strong and adjustable, so no complaints there. It took me a bit of fiddling to get it attached to my projector, so hopefully the picture and my description will help.I removed one of the four mounting arms, and loosened the other three, then figured out which bolts fit my projector, and loosely screwed them in. I had holes in the circular bracket over the screws to allow me to get them tight enough (I didn't want to damage the projector housing by screwing too tight, but I can't give you a torque value or anything like that). This still allowed some movement of the arms so that I was able to adjust them to have the center of the bracket very close to the center of the triangle between the 3 mounting points. It seemed like that was the best way to center it, otherwise the projector would have tried to tilt, and I didn't want to have to fight gravity by tightening the other bolts on the mounting pole structure (although it's designed to be able to do that - but best not to if you don't have to, I thought).

I bought this mount for my Optoma HD141x; it looks and works great! Assembly was easy, and the included wall anchors did the trick since I don't have a ceiling stud at the mounting location. Unfortunately one of the screw holes was stripped, so the set screw wouldn't tighten fully. But most set screws install in pairs so the mount is nevertheless sturdy and I was able to easily align the projected image to my screen.I guess my only complaint (if I had to make one) is that, after installing, I realized that the mount is a little too tall for my setup. I know it's my bad for incorrectly measuring, and the minimum length of the extension rod is clearly advertised, so I'm definitely not docking my rating for this. But it would be nice if they included the basic topmost joint from the VP01 model in this kit, so that I could opt to not use the extension rod at all.The attached pictures show how the mounting feet attached to my projector. Since the HD141x has 3 mount holes, one of the mount's feet should be removed. The other 3 attach according to the pics, in order to center the base plate over the projector's "do not throw away" picture of a trash can. (you'll know what I mean if you have this projector) The mounting feet fit PERFECTLY onto the projector's mount holes.
