This review is from: Premier Mounts Universal Projector Mount PBL-UMS - mounting kitI wasn't quite sure what to expect from this mount with its spindly-looking arms. But I bought it and am impressed!It is very heavy-duty, and my new Panasonic PT-AE900U projector is now in good hands. Every joint on the mount can be tightened with the allen wrench that comes included. It also ships with four-each of four or five different sized screws to mount the arms to the projector. It all came together faster than I had anticipated. I was relieved to find that the bottom part twists off easily from the top part of the mount. This means that I only had to hold up the top part while screwing to the ceiling joist, and I could carefully screw the bottom part into the projector on a table. Then I simply had to lift up the inverted projector and twist it into the top part up near the ceiling.The fact that it can drop the camera down 12 inches was important to me, since I have a beam between the projector and the screen in my new basement home theater.It allows for minor adjustments in any dimension. I am very happy with this mount! - Tom Arneberg...
This review is from: Premier Mounts Universal Projector Mount PBL-UMS - mounting kitStart off by saying "yes" there are cheaper universal mounts out there, spend the few extra dollars instead on this one and you'll be happy you did. I've installed hundreds of projectors and this one is the most versatile. The build quality is solid and the leveling / tension knobs make install a breeze. Cheaper mounts can lose their hold causing them over time to start letting projector gradually move out of alignment, not this one! The adjustments and lock screws hold firm, it tilts, rolls, can sit off axis, what more can you ask for. Comes with extension or can flush mount. Easy twist motion allows a simple removal of projector for any servicing needs without having to remove bunch of screws. Highly recommend this mount to all my installer friends....
This review is from: Premier Mounts Universal Projector Mount PBL-UMS - mounting kitThe mount itself is solid. I bought a pretty big Epson projector and the mount fit perfectly. However, when I tried to install the mount on the ceiling I got problems: This mount came with #14 2' wood screws. So I drilled the holes with 64/11 drill bit, tried to get the screw in the stud with my screw driver. The screw quickly stripped out, the depth was just not deep enough to hold the force. It was really painful to remove a stripped wood screw. I went to Home Depot and bought a set of #14 2' metal screw with less than $1. After 10 mins work, these new screws mounted the projector firmly to the ceiling. So, maybe my stud is too hard so the original screws won't work. Or maybe they are just so cheaply made. But why can't they put in better screws with the product itself? It just costs less than 1 dollar (98 cents) in THD anyway. Considering this is a mount cost me more than 100 dollars, I'm really disappointed. I gives it 4 star because other than that, it is a pretty good mount. But beware, better get your own screws....
