UMount 1302 Heavy Duty Universal Video Projector Ceiling Mount Bracket Holder

I have given this 5 stars because I would definitely buy another one and it is exceptionally good value, but there are a couple of caveats. I used this to mount an Optoma HD25. It took some time to figure out the best way to screw the 4 mounting arms into 3 mounting holes but it is possible to remove any of the 4 arms and still end up with a secure mounting. I liked the easy way you could attach the plate to the ceiling and then the projector mounting bracket to the plate. Adjustment was easy but took a little while to get the projector exactly where I wanted it (to avoid having to use keystone correction if possible) because when you do a final tighten of the two butterfly adjusting screws it had a tendency to move the projector fractionally. Not the prettiest of mounting plates (are any of them?) but highly functional and despite being the least robust feeling part of the assembly it does the job well. The rest of the assembly feels very robust.

I thought I'd take a chance and save a little bit of money...I'm glad I did! The correct bracket for my projector(Optama H180X) was well over £70, I decided on this item as the feed back was very high. It's a very strong, well made ceiling mounted design which comes with an extension pole and extra length screw brackets. I had to modify mine a little to make it fit my projector but I feel it was well worth the little effort as the bracket is very sturdy once everything is clamped down..It will not shake lose from fan vibration, Multi angle adjustments make it simple to adjust to the desired positioning. Delivery time was very fast indeed, packaging was undamaged the item was undamaged..Good start. Other reviews didn't mention having to make any required adjustments to their fittings so probably will be ok for 98% of projectors..But for the price it didn't matter to me. I would fully recommend this product and the seller.

We bought this to replace a rather expensive wall mounted projector fitting (moving house meant moving projector site, and we needed to switch from wall to ceiling mount).It arrived in good time, was well packaged, and the instructions were clear and easy to understand. It was easy to fit to our projector, and is a nice solid construction, so we had no worries about mounting a rather expensive bit of kit to this mount. It's doing a great job, and I would highly recommend this to anyone.The added advantage of 2 different lengths of stem makes this product very versatile. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed !

doesn't fit the projecter i bought it for so not very useful , thought it would do all projecters alas i was wrong

Although its good value for money its not a good quality build. It comes in two main parts the ceiling bracket and the projector connecting legs attached via a ball joint. The ceiling bracket is robust. However, it comes with fixing bolts that are only suitable for fixing to masonry walls and ceilings. A lot of ceilings in residential properties are likely to be plasterboard so these fixings are unsuitable. I used some 6x80 coach screws with some washers and screwed directly into the ceiling joists as well as some heavy duty plaster board toggle screws.The projector mount is flexible and I was easily able to attach it to my Epson EH-TW6100. However, the projector connector feels flimsy and there is a lot of flex in the legs. The main problem with this section was the ball joint that connects to the ceiling bracket. It was loose and wobbled which made it very difficult to position correctly. The ball joint is attached the to circular section in the base that connects to the legs by being compressed into a hole. It wasn't securely attached and there was enough play to be worried that it wouldn't hold up. The ball joint is attached to the disk by compressing the metal into the hole so it expands inside and outside the hole deforming the metal to effect a crude joint. So I had to take it apart and hammer it and further deform the metal joint until the ball mount was secure with no wobble and then rebuild it. I don't mind DIY but you shouldn't have to do that. I probably should have sent it back but once I'd done the hard work of attaching it to the ceiling bracket I was less inclined to take it all off and return it.Connecting the projector mount to the ceiling bracket is done by pushing in the ball joint and tightening the knobs to secure. However, its really difficult to get the alignment correct. Once you move the projector into position and then do the final tighten of the knobs the projector moves. So you have to loosen, adjust and re-tighten again and again until its right. When I finally got it about righ I plugged my cables in and the cursed thing had moved again. Grrrrr! Also the legs flex while your aligning it again making it difficult to do the final adjustments. Its probably not an issue if projecting onto a wall but I use a fixed screen so correct alignment is essential. When you finally get it about right I noticed that it slightly moves over time. Probably settling into position with the weight of the projector.The instructions are laughable, badly translated and very simplistic. Some excerpts: "Thank you for purchasing projector hanger very much" - hanger is about right since it reminded me of a coat hanger. "The holes should be symmetrical and balanceable in the horizontal and vertical direction" - what that means I've no idea. "Place the projector as center as possible, then scnew all the bolts" - maybe that's where I was going wrong - not enough "scnewing".Now its finally up and it does work. It was cheap, very cheap, but I would have preferred a model that was better quality and easier to adjust.

Decent value for money

It came, it fitted perfectly with my TW6100W, fitted to the ceiling perfectly, 2 screws and it was solid, but i put the additional two to make sure.Only down side is it moves easily in time this could be a problem over time this thing might slip to a final position lower than required, im just going to avoid moving it in any way at all.

very good easy to assemble the addition of the shoter legs meant that i only had to change one leg to fit my projector and the forward tilt proved to be very handy once mounted to the ceiling very sturdy bracket overall
