4.0 out of 5 stars Great deal, though the instructions are lacking, August 20, 2007

This review is from: Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mount (Electronics)

I used this to mount a Sanyo PLV-Z2 projector. It works great and I am very pleased now that it is up on the ceiling. The mount works by having little arms screwed into the middle that protrude out to the mounting holes on the projector. They do provide several short arms, several medium length, and several long ones. It can be tricky to select the correct lengths, since selecting ones that are too long cause them to interfere with each other.

It does not come with mounting screws, though they provide so many screws that it is probably possible to just use some of the extras. I used some of my own that I had lying around the house.

The instructions are vary vague, but not impossible to figure out. I gave this 4/5 stars solely based on the poor instructions, otherwise it would be 5/5. My main complaint is that they provide a package full of screws. There are several pouches with 4 screws each (all marked A, B, C, and so on up until I or J) but the sizes are not marked anywhere! I came to the conclusion that A, B, C, were all the same size (just different lengths) and the same with D, E, F and so on. I'm still not sure that's accurate but I wound up finding screws that seemed to fit and used them.

Adjusting the mount with the projector on it was a bit tricky, but I don't believe this is anything specific to this mount. I have a screen and previously had the projector sitting on a shelf I mounted on the wall opposite the screen. I remember it took a long time to adjust it even on the shelf to exactly fit the screen. Adjusting the image to fit the screen will be a bit painful no matter which mount you choose.

I would recommend having a ladder so that you can be sure to see and reach everything without having to stretch yourself. All in all this took me about 3 hours from start to finish. This includes finding the correct screws, finding the correct lengths for the arms and attaching them, drilling into the ceiling for the mount (make sure to use a stud), and then mounting and adjusting the picture to fit the screen. If I had to do it again, I could probably get it done in 60-90 minutes (most of which would be adjusting the picture to perfectly fit a screen).

Make sure to mount it as close to the center of the screen as possible. Shifting it left/right or up/down WILL distort the picture. The further you shift it, the more distortion you will get. Fortunately, most projectors provide options in the menu that will allow you to fix the distortion (up to a certain point) and make the screen rectangular again. The closer you mount it towards the center of the screen, the less time you need to spend fixing the distortion.

Finally, be sure to mount the projector somewhere on the ceiling where fans, light fixtures, etc. will not be obstructing the image.

3.0 out of 5 stars Solid but not quite solid enough, October 8, 2007

I purchased this item for my Sanyo PLV-Z5. I previously (in my former house) had a Chief mount. Chief mounts cost twice as much as this one. When I opened the package for this, I was pleasantly surprised; very dense, high quality metal, nice solid customization, easy to use screws, etc. But once I actually got it up on the ceiling, I was disappointed to discover it does not have a full range of tilt settings, but more critically, it is very difficult to have perfectly steady and secure. It took me an hour to get it even with the screen and I'm still (months later) tinkering with it to get the screws as tight as I can. It's hard to describe what I'm talking about without having one, but basically, the screws that you tighten to make sure the projector doesn't shake at all are not tough/large/secure enough to keep it from shaking. I'm not talking the San Andreas fault here. It's probably not perceptible to someone not familiar with home theater stuff. But I notice.

On the whole though, for half the price of chief you get something ALMOST (not quite) as good. Pretty good deal and product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Happy Epson 8350 Owner - Solid Mount, March 24, 2011

After researching mounts for hours that would work for my new epson 8350, I kept coming back to this mount. Alot of mounts recommended for an 8350 were well over $100. This mount is solid and works perfectly with an 8350. The huge assortment of hardware included is packaged really well and has just about anything you would need to mount almost any projector. I want to thank the other 8350 owners who took the time to review this product. The review written by Taze helped out alot making installation a breeze.
I would highly recommend this mount if your flush mounting an epson 8350!
