Side by Side Comparison of: VideoSecu vs Elite Screens vs Silver Ticket Products

This went together really easily. I mounted mine to the iRulu BL20 projector. Comes with a shorter set of feet used to attach to the projector which I needed. I had to order a second one since the first one came without four needed washer/nuts and the company wanted pictures of the parts I got and descriptions and it seemed like it would take forever which was way unnecessary so I just ordered a second one with the intention of returning the first one. However, I decided to keep the first one and mounted the "ceiling" part to a piece of plywood as a base and now can move the projector from the ceiling to the base and have the same adjustment capabilities for outside viewing which makes it really nice. No more stacking things on the table to get it right. Very simple and inexpensive mounting solution.

I managed mount the 4 arms on to a projector with 3 mountain holes.I have to remove one arm, inverse one arm to be able to fit in. Took a while but can be done.The center of this mountain bracket is not over the center of the mass of the projector, so I have to fasten quite some nuts to level the projector.Overall the design is OK with enough tilt options for mountain my machine.

This holds our projector from the ceiling. Hasn't loosened up yet or anything. It also gives you the option of lifting or lowering the projector a bit which is nice. No ones walked into it so it doesn't hang super low either.

This is a dynamite mount. I have secured it and taken it back down and re secured it at a new house. It has very precise movement if you take your time and move it incrementally. The mount pole also allows you to hide the cables neatly. unfortunately you have to take it most of the way apart to get new cables in there. But with most things being HDMI these days or able to be with adapter you really shouldn't need to do much moving.

Was skeptical at first as mu projectors mounting hols only allow for 3 mounts, and they are offset, not centered about the center of gravity, but the versatility of this mount is amazing. I was able to stretch the legs and line them up such that the rod is almost centered over the center of mass and pivot the legs to mount in all 3 holes. I just removed the 4th one since I don't need it. Was an very easy piece to mount, more than enough hardware for all mounting applications and my projectors look slick hanging from the ceiling in my bedroom.I highly recommend you locate the studs in the ceiling, then mock up the mounting location and test the projector to ensure you get the screen real-estate on the wall you are projecting to first, if you just throw it up, you may not be happy with the place you first mounted it. You may be thinking that I went through this pain, however, no I did not, I planned ahead. The one thing I did do was mount the rod backwards the first time and had to un screw it all and flip it around. Wasn't necessary, but I am meticulous and wanted the wires coming out of the rear of the rod to plug into the rear of the projector. It just wouldn't look right any other way.

With the low price I didn't know what to what to expect but I'm very happy that I purchased it.PROS:The variety of options mounting options you can do are incredible.There were screws for what seems like every time of projector on the planet.I find it easy to take down, i use this projector as an outdoor projector on occasion and in one section you can unscrew 2 screws and safely unmount the projector. I can then turn over the projector and unmount the whole assembly from the projector. In the matter of 2 minutes I have the projector removed from the mount. It's just as easy to get back up!CONS:None for my overhead set up with a Benq W1000+. The only debate I have is whether to keep all the extra parts or toss them.Overall,I highly recommend this mount for your projector, it is extremely adaptable and secure. I noticed others have said the paint my scratch but I have not had any issues at all and find it quite durable.

Great range of connections to fit a lot of projectors. I took off one star due to my particular set up. Most of the connecting mounts on my projector are on one side. Once I inverted the projector, I noticed there is a lack of option to level out my projector due to the unbalanced weight on one end. I should be able to rig up something and it is a very minor issue but it is noticeable on my screen.

Works well with my cheapo LED projector; it had a bit of a non-standard mount pattern but I was able to switch around the various brackets to get it to fit without any actual modification. The pole it comes with is nice, but isn't long enough for my application - I needed almost four feet; I have a 12' vaulted ceiling and the projector only has so much keystone adjustment, not to mention it made it easy for me to reach up and push buttons on the projector that way. I wound up buying a piece of composite trim (1"x2") from the local home center and cut it to length, then used screws to attach the mount to it on both ends. Works like a charm!

I ordered this, as suggested by Amazon's "usually ordered with" feature when purchasing the Optoma HD141x. Unfortunately the screws included with this bracket aren't long enough to actually mount the bracket to the projector. The screw heads are small enough that the bracket from the projector fits right over, so it won't hold. However, when you use the included washers, the screws aren't long enough to engage the threads. I drove to Home Depot and spent $0.75 for slightly longer screws and as it turns out the heads were large enough on these that I didn't need the washers though they should be used anyway.One of the mounting brackets had to be reversed to fit. The Optoma HD141x had 3 mount holes. This bracket is flexible and configurable enough to make it work but there are no instructions indicating that this might need to be done however anyone installing this type of equipment "should" be able to figure this out.Also, if the joist you are mounting this bracket to runs across the room (horizontal to display surface) and not vertical (perpendicular to the display surface) then this bracket doesn't easily mate up to the Optoma HD141x. I had to rotate the mount to be able to adjust as per the directions. No instructions were included for this situation.In one sense the above, other than the mounting screws being too short, is a major plus for this product to be able to accommodate such a wide variety of projectors and being able to be configurable enough to allow for a variety of inflexible room setups I just feel there should just be a little more documentation to show people what how to account for this. Telling someone that you should make "this change" when "this situation" applies would reduce any additional frustration.The ONLY reason this product gets a 4-star is for the screw situation and wishing for a few more options being detailed in the documentation. Other than that this is an excellent mount.I did not use the extension arm(s) but the documentation covered installation in both cases.

This mount works great for my BenQ HT1085ST. My only issue is that it holds the projector about 6 inches from the ceiling. This isn't an issue for most people as 6 inches is not that far. However, I have a 140 inch screen so I need the projector to be closer to the ceiling. I will not deduct a star for this as it's properly described. However, it does tend to creep a tiny bit and I've had to tighten the screws a few times. However, I would buy it again for an application that doesn't require a low profile.

This a nice mount. I am using it with my Optoma HD141X which has 3 mounting holes. As seen in the product photo, there are 4 arms but removing one arm was quite easy. As other reviewers have noted, it is a universal mount so you have to figure out the best way to arrange the legs. For my particular projector, I had to reverse one of the arms so it could fit right. (Not being mechanically minded, I was very proud of myself that I figured that out and then I read that many other people have done that, too. Proud, yes - original, no.). In the end, it is obvious that the mount is not made for my projector. But, it works and when the lights go down, no one really notices.The instructions did show how to configure the base if you are only using 3 arms instead of 4. However, the base did not match up with what the instructions showed. It wasn't a big deal as I could swivel the arms around as I needed. But I thought I would mention it in case someone gets confused like I did.While all the screws and hardware are included, the screws to go into the projector itself were not long enough. So, I did have to make a trip down to the local hardware store to pick up the 3 screws that I needed to attach the arms to the projector itself. While not a terribly big deal, I did knock off 1 star.Once mounted into the ceiling, it is a solid installation. I am quite happy with it. It doesn't look as nice as it could if it were a mount made specifically for the projector itself, but for the price (very good!) and the solidness of the installation, I would buy it again.

I ordered this for my Viewsonic projector on the hopes that it would work. I read a few negative reviews which stated the mount absolutely would not work for the Viewsonic projectors. The people who wrote those reviews must be the same kids in kindergarden who could not figure out how to stack blocks. I mean seriously, try thinking outside the box for half a second. I gave this mount four stars four two reasons;1. The instructions do not show anything for a three hole mount like the Viewsonic projectors use. It only shows the four hole mount option.2. The directions are rather vague regarding the hardware. A little unclear, again, with some thought, the correct parts are able to be identified.For anybody thinking about purchasing this mount for a Viewsonic, just remember you will have to completely disassemble the quad mount. Turn some of the mounts backwards, and remove one of the arms. The mount comes with two short mounts and four long mounts. It took me about fifteen minutes to figure out how to set up the mount. And that was with four screaming children in the house.Bottom line, this mount is secure and well worth the 25.00 dollars. It is fully adjustable and comes with all the hardware you need. It even comes with the allen (hex) wrenches. All you need is a drill and a screwdriver.

If your vaulted ceiling happens to slope in the wrong direction, you cannot aim the projector... it points the wrong way and you cannot change it because it's not a square tube, it's rectangle. other than that it seems fairly well built.

Beware if you are purchasing this bundled with Optoma HD141x (Amazon suggests this is most often purchased together). This mounting bracket "can" be made to work, but be prepared for a less than optimal install. First, the product itself is OK. Instructions are spartan and nearly impossible to interpret - as is much of the obscurely-labeled gear that comes out of China.To make this work with the HD141x projector:1. Flip projector over to bottom, and align projector mounting bracket with the "extra hole" in bracket holding legs aligned to front of projector2. Loosen all adjustment screws with supplied allen wrench and slide mounting legs inward to fit over projector's two rear mounting holes3. You'll need to find longer 4mm screws to mount to projector - those supplied will not engage threads passing through washer and bracket. I found some at local Menards hardware store - 4mm x 3/4" approx4. Remove one of the front mounting feet (note this projector has only 3 mounting holes - not 4 like this bracket is configured) - Looking down with projector lens facing away from you, remove the leg to the right.5. Because this bracket is too large to fit over the Optoma HD141x 3rd mounting screw thread, you'll need to remove the projectors front rubber height adjustment screw (near front edge), and use that to secure the third leg of mounting bracket. Use a washer or two to ensure it holds snugly.Once you are done it should hold your projector security. The only negative is that it will be slightly off of the projector's center of gravity, so will need to be carefully adjusted and secured once hanging in place.

Well, this was suggested by someone else that had the Optoma 131Xe. I had read that all these "universal style" mounts had to be modified or augmented a little to get it to work with the 131Xe. It took me 20 minutes to figure out how to align the three holes. I would like to think that I am fairly intelligent but this thing had me scratching my head for a bit. I ended up taking out the adjustment arms and flipping them around and cutting one of the arms a little so I could center it up a little better. I don't really like how the arms are tightened on the projector but that's only partially because of this mount. I did like the hook where you could get the mounting done on the ceiling first and then take your time on the floor with the other part. The adjustment was a pain in the butt. It's one of those deals where you just try to get it as close as you can, tighten it all up and then nudge it till it's right. Not sure if this is gonna stay where I adjusted it because the weight of the projector is not fully centered. It can adjust many different ways which is neat but it feels like it is barely getting the job done. The adjustment seems a little sloppy but as long as it stays, I'll be happy.

I purchased the ViewSonic PJD7820HD projector on Amazon. This was recommended for bundling with this particular projector, so I decided I'll go ahead and take it. Afterall, the price was about 2/3rds that of the one ViewSonic makes specifically for its projector, plus I wasn't going to have to pay for shipping. Given the low cost, I assumed the risk of how well this universal mount would work on the projector I bought. It turns out, the ViewSonic projector uses only 3 mounting holes (you'll notice this mount is utilized for 4 holes, but it's not a problem to remove one of the arms), and they are spaced relatively close to each other. So close, in fact, that this "universal" mount could not be adjusted down far enough. It took plenty of attempts (and way too much time) to adjust for this weird positioning, and finally it was determined that I needed to take out one of the arms and put it in backwards. This looks ugly and overall tacky, but in the end I figure it won't be too noticeable. Also, I went with a flush mount after not feeling comfortable with the extension pole. It seemed that the pole was holding on to the projector using only tension as opposed to having a guard to protect against the tension loosening and the projector sliding right out and crashing onto the floor. Perhaps the tension is good enough, but I didn't want to risk it. It turns out, I liked the flush mount anyways, so in the end, I have no complaints.So overall, the question becomes how much is your time and effort worth? In hindsight, I would have ponied up the extra $20 and gone with the one designed specifically for my projector. It would have looked nicer, and would have been much easier to install. I am rating this overall as a 3 out of 5, but if I were to break up the ratings into categories, I would rate as follows:Overall: 3Price: 5Quality: 3.5Ease of installation: 2

I purchased this to go with my Optoma HD25. It was a pain in the arse to get this to work. The instructions are very limited in helping on this type of setup. I ended up getting creative on how to connect it to the optoma. Here's why...Effectively I set it up for three arms as the instructions say to do, but when you do this for the Optoma, you will find that the extension arms are FAR to long to connect all three mounting screws to the projector. What I did (this does secure unit 100% so that it doesn't move at all), but took my dumb arse 20 minutes to figure out, is simply take the s shaped connecting part out of the ends of the extension and face them into the middle of the bracket. Yes this is counter intuitive, but works. So again, for an optoma hd25 take out the fourth leg, and convert into three. then flip the mounting s legs around so the bottom of the s points into the middle of the bracket and then screw into the unit. You will need a small screwdriver as you are now going in between the little gap on the extension bar, but can be done. This however isn't the reason I gave it 3 stars and not 4 or 5.This bracket only receives 3 stars, because the adjustment aspect of this thing is super touchy. Even tightening a nut, bolt, or screw will cause this thing to go out of line. In other words to make my final adjustments correct once a screw was tightened correctly, I had to first over-adjust image on the screen, then tighten down the adjustment screws. Meaning I was guessing at first how far to the left i would have to shot the image so that once I tighten the left/right nut, it wouldn't bring the image back to the right to far.The other issue was I wish the length of the unit could be shorter then the nine or eleven inches it has to be, i.e. not either be three inches form the ceiling or eleven inches. I like being able to go from any length from 11 - 22, but what about 3-11?On the whole thought, if you can deal with the little issues of this thing, and your cheap like me, its worth a purchase, just know what your getting. It is solid, no doubt about that part, but has a few downsides since its a universal.

I'm one of those guys who like to get all the nuts and bolts and washers in the correct place. If you follow the instructions step-by-step you won't get that result because they leave things out that are on the back side of the image. It's fairly obvious they belong, but not always as clear because the diagram and numbers are written so small. My projector has three holes. This mount was able to adjust, though it wouldn't really appear to be that it's necessarily designed to. It came out a little funky looking and off-center. It works though, it looks fine and it feels sturdy. Adjustments aren't too difficult. For the price, compared with others I've seen, I'm not disappointed in the end-result. Besides the instructions, the washers can be incredibly difficult to place, assuming you want them in the correct location. You might want to use tweezers to hold the nylon washers in place during assembly. You will know what I mean when you get there. I'm rating this only three stars due to that difficulty, the poor instructions and the fact that even though it works, it doesn't go together nearly as well with three holes as it would with four.

I used this mount with an Optoma HD142X. I was able to use all four legs and it appeared it was going to work for me but once I had it attached to the ceiling I couldn't get it adjusted anywhere close to level. I had to improvise with other materials. I still use this mount to bear the weight of the projector, but fine tuning required a trip to the hardware store and some improvising. I'm not saying this mount is bad as it might work well for other models or manufacturers.

I have a projector that was only 3.5 lbs and even with all the bolts tightened it wouldn't hold the projector in the position that I tried to set. It also only has 2 mounting holes which if a stud isn't where you would like to mount the holder then you are stuck trying to mount it in the drywall which isn't strong enough to stabilize the projector in a position of your choosing.

This is a decent projector mount with lots of adjustments that can be made. It can swing forward and swivel to the side as well as adjust flush to the ceiling. The main issue I had is that even when everything is fully tightened, it still has some wiggle room. Aligning a projector takes a lot of time and patients in the first place and every few weeks I find it off of the screen and I need to adjust it. When people are walking around in the room above it, it bounces slightly and can move off of the screen by about an inch to either side. This may not bother some people but when you spend an hour or so aligning it perfectly to a screen and then it doesn't stay that way, it is pretty frustrating

Do not recommend for a Optoma HD141X. The supplied screws that fit the threads of the projector were too short. I should have just stopped and returned the item, but I didn't want to wait till a turn around. I went to the Ace and spent another $3 on the correct hardware. Then I noticed that the adjustable arms are too long. I spent about two hours last night and I still don't have anything mounted. I'm going to attempt to turn the tabs around, but I might end up having to cut the arms down too.Aside from it not being a good fit for my projector, the whole thing feels awkward and clumsy and the supplied hardware feels cheap. If I could do a do-over, I'd choose another product. I'll probably just end up making this one work one way or another because I don't want to wait to mount my projector.

We installed a projector 30' up in the air in our church using this bracket. In order to obtain this height, we rented a lift which needless to say was pretty expensive, but was a must for safety reasons.Spent about 45m attaching the projector to the bracket, as it's not a very straight forward process. Once attached we proceeded up to the beam where it was going to be attached; we spent another hour and a half trying to get the bracket to stay pointing in one direction. With the arm fully extended, the bracket seemed to want to lean toward one side, and not shoot straight forward. This was very frustrating... Finally, after messing with it for that long, we got it in the desired position.The next day, after returning the lift, we noticed the bracket had shifted to the right a bit. We did our best to compensate for this shift using the setting found in our high-end projector, but still it's not quite right on. Looking back, I've come to the conclusion that it's the cheap hardware used to control the bracket/arm of this mount; using sub-par screws and mounting hardware, it's just not able to hold the projector in a set position.It's been about two months now since having mounted our very lightweight projector and we're noticing that the projector is now starting to shift even more off the center point... I guess we're gonna have to rent the lift again and purchase a better mount.I wouldn't recommend using this mount for high-positioned projectors, unless you own a ladder or a lift that you can often use to re-align your projector. Lower ceiling applications might not be all that bad...Good luck.

This was my first ceiling mount of a projector. I mounted an Epson Brightlink Projector. The instructions would say "Make sure you have placed ________ right. There was no clear picture to show what 'right' meant! I had to disassemble and reassemble many times to get it 'right'. I used the extension for my 9 foot basement ceiling installation. The instructions tell you to assemble the plate to the part that connects the plate to the assembly that holds the projector--as viewed in the picture on Amazon (assemble without the bar). It is not clear that if you are using the extension bar, you must not assemble the plate to the extension, you must wait until later on during the assembly process. All fasteners were available, but they did not come pre-sorted. They all came in one package. I had to take an egg carton and sort the items by size, shape and the materials they were made of, and verify the counts against the instructions. The instructions did not indicate that you would not be using all packed items; and sometimes it was a guessing game as to whether or not I had the right fastener because they were the same color, shape and sometime size--some washers were made of plastic, while others were made of metal. The screws holding the projector holder on to the cube-like connector body, were so loose, they were almost out of their holes. There is not a tool small enough to reach inside the tight space to tighten the screws so the projector could have fallen off of the bracket. I used my fingers to tighten the best I could. On the diagram, you'd see something like c/d/a. I figured out that it means: use fastener c or d or a; depending on which screw/fastener would fit the hole. Even after drilling ample pilot holes, the wood screws' phillips heads stripped, so I had to hand-ratchet them into place. There were three holes on the ceiling mounting plate, and the instructions only indicated to drill the pilot holes for the round holes. Instructions said nothing about using the keyhole. I'm still wondering if I was supposed to use the keyhole for something.Now that I've done the install, the item is doing its job. Now that I have experience with this item, I might entertain the thought of purchasing another if I needed it, because of the prior experience and. If I had known better, I would have purchased one that was pre-assembled as much as possible--even if it were twice the cost. It took me three or four hours to disassemble/reassemble, and figure the whole process out. You need to ask yourself if it's worth the time and aggrivation.

Spent hours trying to interpret the directions, sorting unlabeled screws, piecing this garbage together. Eventually I got my projector mounted and it wobbled to the left with no manner of adjustment. What a disaster. I experienced everything detailed in every negative review. Do not buy this thing. I returned it and bought another brand. It was completely installed in fifteen minutes and I'm very happy with it.

The two most important aspects of a projector mount are (1) ease of use and (2) ability to center the picture on the screen, including left/right and up/down. This mount is dreadful on both of those.In order to get the projector on the mount, or take it down, you have to use tools (allen wrench or screwdriver) while obviously working over your head. And the "aiming" is terrible. The projector is inevitably off-balanced, and you have to balance it with one hand while using an allen wrench with the other ON FOUR SEPARATE SCREWS. Compound that with the fact that you have to over compensate for the float in one direction and then, after you let go of the projector, see how much it slides, and I know exactly what rating I give this projector: I give it the FINGER.

Not sure how this currently has 3.5 stars, maybe quality control and I got a bad unit? I say that because there are holes in the hardware that should be threaded which are not. And so my unit is physically impossible to assemble. I took my power drill to it to try to jam one of the screws in and ended up just shaving off the threading. In addition, the mounting screws that would actually allow me to screw my projector to the mount are not long enough to grab the threads inside the projector. So even if I could jerry-rig the unthreaded holes, I'd still have to order longer mounting screws. Don't waste your time, pay a little more for something else.For anyone nitpicky or checking out there own unit that did assemble- I am adept at assembly, but maybe I've made a mistake and someone will call me out. My ceiling plate (A) and pivot bracket (C) will not assemble together as shown in the instructions 1a "Flush mount installation without extension column. Using the extension column will not fix this as it is the pivot bracket that is lacking the threaded holes, so in either assembly I am SOL. The pivot bracket holes for the M-B screws are not threaded. The screws will not catch, will not fit, and altogether will not assemble. Please give me a response to confirm if your holes in that position are threaded, or if I am missing something from the directions, in which case I will certainly amend my review.

Worst projector mount I have ever saw. I could not build this projector mount because two of the holes for the M-K screws to screw into the ceiling bracket were too small and there weren't even any threads. I thought I misread the broken English instructions with very little illustrations. I even had my wife look at it. She is a good problem solver. But after wasting my time for an hour it was no good. There was no way to make it work without making the holes a little bigger and creating threads for the M-K screws. So I get my drill gun out and make the whole bigger and force the M-K screws in which created a thread. However it was very flimsy and I wasn't about to hang my expensive projector from a poor designed and defective projector. I was even willing to call the company to see if they could help me but surprise surprise no tech phone number or any phone number of any kind is found anywhere for this product. It is probably made in China and sold through several different suppliers. What a waste of time. I am very disappointed and wonder why this product received such high reviews. I can only imagine that I got a defective product. I will return the defective one and try it on more time.

I installed this for a PJD5533W. The projector has 3 mounting holes, which this mount it supposed to accommodate.The plate that attaches to the projector has 4 legs and should have a 5th hole so you can move one of the legs to a triangle position for 3 mounting holes. This did not have the 5th hole. I could have drilled it, but I didn't want to ruin anything in case I returned it.Next, all the adjustment screws and the pivots and such? Imagine if you can only adjust them while the project is mounted to it. Hard to get to. Also, the moment you start tightening any screws, you are inadvertently adjusting the projector again. There's another plate that allows for more adjustment but you have about 1" of clearance in order to get a phillips head screwdriver up in there. Yeah, not going to happen.Things definitely would have been easier if I had used the extension bar, which I didn't need, but not by enough of a margin that I would give a star back. This is probably one of the worst mounts I could have bought. Feels like it was cheaply made and had burrs and spikes of metal shavings on it that were quite unpleasant to handle.I won't be returning it because I do not want to pull this mount down again and I do not want to hassle with another mount. If I move and I have to take this down, I will not be putting it up elsewhere. I will buy a new one and sell this locally for cheap since obviously there are others who have enjoyed it.

Beware, Amazon recomends this as an add on for a lot of projectors, including the one I bought, ViewSonic PJD7820HD, but it doesn not fit. Check your specs for mounting on your projector before you purchase this. On top of that, many of the holes drilled did not fit the included hardware. So, the instructions, while clear and well written, were not effective. I will be returning for a full refund. I spent many hours forcing this thing to work the way it was supposed to in the first place.
