I bought this mount after reading the reviews and was a little edgy about it because of the "one star" review i read that said it might just drop from the ceiling...Well before i hung my projector from it I ACTUALLY GRABBED ONTO IT AND HUNG WITH THE FULL 140LBS OF MY BODY WEIGHT AND IT SLIPPED ABOUT 1/4" AND THEN CAUGHT. I noticed that if you turn the sliding height adjustment bar upside down it will slip off SO MAKE SURE YOU PUT THAT BAR ON THE RIGHT WAY (try it both ways, the right one will be obvious) If you install it correctly you REALLY CANT BEAT THIS FOR THE MONEY. It is a must that you be somewhat mechanically inclined..if your unsure, have a friend on hand for second opinions and to help you hold everything steady. Once its up its easy to make adjustments and it looks sweet!

This thing doesn't fit an Epson 8350 without buying additional hardware. Nothing "universal" about it, and Amazon shouldn't suggest it as a companion product.

I used this for an Optoma HD20 projector. The mount has 4 arms and 3 pieces that insert into the arms and that screw into the projector itself. I did not use the extension piece.

I used this to mount my projector into the ceiling. I didn't have any studs, and just used 2 of those metal mushrooming sheetrock wall-anchors (each rated at 20 lbs). Installation of the mounting plate using those was a breeze.

Compared to other mount systems (which often sell the ceiling mounting plate separately from the plate that attaches to the projector), this is an extremely good deal. Everything you need comes in one box for a very low price, and installation is pretty painless.

This did the job that was needed!! I used this mount for an Inforcus projector for our theatre room. First off, prior reviews made me suspect of buying this because they stated flimsy quality, mount, hardware, etc. I hooked this too a stud in the ceiling and it easliy held my wife a couple feet from the floor!!!!!!! The instructions could be a little bit better, but its pretty much common sense. Pitch and yaw angles are minimal, but will get the job done to make sure your have a straight picture. I even hooked this mount to an Optoma just to see if it would fit and no suprises it did with ease. If you contemplating this mount, I would say get it!! it is surely worth the cheap price and the delivery time was amazing as well!

This is a good ceiling projector mount especially for the price. It took me two hours to find a way to make it work for the HD66 but after I messed around with it a bit it fit perfectly and securely. If you have the HD66 look at the picture I added and it will make your life a lot easier when it comes to attaching the mount onto the projector. You will definitely not use all of the parts in the package. After I attached it to the projector the rest was simple.

This product worked great for me. (used with a Benq W500 projector) It was helpful how the product description had the maximum point-to-point length of your projector that this mount would be compatible with. So I knew it would fit before I bought it. There were no actual instructions, but it was easy enough to figure out. Just make sure you do it while your cat is out shopping or mowing the lawn; mine enjoyed depositing the little pieces of hardware in hiding places. For the negative, I don't trust the extension bar; the whole rig is held by one bolt. Make sure you add a safety rope/wire in case it comes loose. (of course, you don't have to use the extension)

I bought this mount to be used in a church, Also had a projector that needed a special mount for very close 4 hole mount. This mount was just what the Dr. ordered. Mounts to normal studs just fine, if you turn it the right way... Fixing to order a second one for a rear mount projector to our church.

This mount is well designed and adequate but it doesn't fit larger projectors. It would not fit my Epson UB8500.
I had to fabricate a plate out of 14ga. sheet metal, then attach it to the projector and then attach the mount. So if you don't have these kind of facilities at home better off looking for a different mount if your projector is large.

The shaft length is adjustable.
Lots of adjustment screws to fine tune position of the projector after it has been screwed to the posts.

Only gotcha is that it comes with 4 mounting legs, but only three 3" extenders. Using just the 3 that were provided, I could not mount on the four posts of my projector, even though the max distance between any two posts on my projector is 10.5 (within the specs for this kit).
However, once I contacted the seller, they were quick to mail me the extra extender. All set now.

Got this mount due to many reviews and mostly 5 stars. although negative reviews kinda scared me. I am technically inclined so wasnt too worried about it. I have an Optoma HD33, which by the way is totally awesome to say the least. Mount bracket took about 1/2 hr to put together. Did not need the extension arm. Just look at directions, which were a little hard to follow the diagram, but figured it out. I placed all screws and bolts in piles as picture showed what was supplied. Kept each item in their separate pile to make finding item real easy. Now to mount the legs to the bottom of the hd33 took some trial and error and had to find center of gravity. Did various combinations and finally nailed it. Perfect fit. It is possible for those HD33 owner. Need help, will provide a picture. Just Email me.

Took bracket separately, found stud in ceiling and mounted it. Then took legs and quick release, and slid it onto the bracket with ease. Slightly tightened left, right and up and down swings movements . When projector hit the sweet spot, tightened it down. Very sturdy mount. Only complaint, no panning left to right to fix offset, so just unbolted back screw to ceiling mounting bracket and slide back left or right. Then secured to ceiling, but new hole in ceiling made, but I secured a 1X4 to ceiling first to studs and then bracket to 1x4. So i could make adjustment easily.

For those with negative reviews, just play with it and don't give up. Can be done on HD33, not sure about all projectors though. All in all good, although buying optoma mount may have been easier but could not find one in white to match my ceiling. Hope this review helps
