Please subscribe! Here I show you how to install the Monoprice Ceiling Bracket for Projector. The mount is only provided with two tubes: an 8cm one and a 17cm one. You have to decide which one better fits your installation. If you need a longer tube, do a search in the site. I forgot to say that the 5mm Allen key is for adjusting a bolt in the projector plate that determines how easy or how hard it is to tilt the projector once installed. This video is my way to say thanks to everybody in the AVSforum, and to Dustin from “Dustin’s Blog”. Without their help, I couldn’t have mounted this thing. Sorry for my bad English. Please make your corrections in the comments section. The avsforum thread for making further suggestions or longer comments to this video is: www.avsforum.com The mount is shown here with the InFocus IN72 Home Theater Projector.
@Dr4kulya The needed screws come in the package. Please notice that I have only tested this mount on a concrete slab, not a “drywall” type ceiling.
Hi Id really appreciate your help with this. . How do I attach the mount to the ceiling? What screws/bolts do I use and how does it stay on the ceiling? Thank you
Thanks! Great help!
@dananjames Never drill holes in a projector. The projector should come with holes for mounting. I bought this from Monoprice (Google it)
one question, would happens if when you drill the holes in the projector, what happens if it ruins the projector? and where can I buy this kit? any ways, Great video very helpful and easy to comprehend! Usually when i looked this up before they gave a 30 minute video that bored the hell out of me! But this one is great!- James
can i use a tape to hold the cables if I don’t have a friend?
@Arqui3D
how did you tilt the projector mount, i can´t seem to do it, i bought iñt throw ebay and i diden´t come with instructions.
This monoprice mount is not adjustable. Their website says it is and this video, around 2:48 shows some movement after mounted. But they’ve changed the design (10/2010) and it’s rigid. It rotates but no tilt or roll. Small adjustment are always needed so this is not good. Also missing 3mm screws for optoma (HD20). I ordered $40 at mountdirect site with good instrucions and 3mm bolts.
I’ve often found such things in small neighborhood hardware stores.
where do you find the screws to fit the mount to the projector. went to home depot and had no luck.
I bought it locally in the same place where I buy Cat5 cable (for home networks). It’s dirt cheap, but can’t remember how much.
where did you get the strip that hides the wires on ceiling? how much is it?
Yes, it is universal.
Is this projector support universal? I have an Optoma and I want buy one of this
Very little. The manufacturer says it’s 15º in any direction, but it seems more like 10º.
Anyway, you should never install your projector with any more tilt, as you would have to use digital keystone correction, degrading the image. If you really need to project from an odd angle, I would recommend finding a projector with lens shift.
at the end you are moving the projector after it is mounted. How much play do you have to angle the projector down?
ive tried a similar bracket, but i dont like the teflon washer setup underneath it.
this mount worked perfectly with my infocus 4805 projector. Thanks MonoPrice
