will the project ceiling mount work if the ceiling is tilted? is the mount compatible with all projectors or is there a specific one

I'm not really sure if the ceiling mount can be tilted. I will check again tonight when I'm back home. I did not need that. But I will check. I have an Epson projector and the mounting pattern did not match 100%. But with the accessories that come with the ceiling mount, you will be able to figure out something. In my case I was able to select mounting bracket pieces that made it fit.

This mount will adjust to absolutely any angle you need. If you are in a tight spot, then this is the mount for you.If you need to angle the projector "down" then you need a longer mount...one with a "down rod" preferably...Angling the image downward will cause a distortion, or trapezoid. It can be "corrected" with the keystone function, but that should be a last ditch attempt. You are far better off getting the right mount that will put your projector at the correct height for your screen.

I ordered the PCMD Projector ceiling mount for View Sonic from Amazon. It comes with everything you need, $42.95. It does look like there are a lot of universal mounts that will fit the triangle mounting holes in the projector but certainly not all universals will work.

Hi, It is an adjustable mount! The machine fits for below brand projectors (all model): INFOCUS,NEC,OPTPMA,3M,IBM,BENQ,TOSHIBA,SONY,MITSUBISHI,Dell Epson, HP, Panasonic, Proxima, SAMSUNG, SHARP, VIEWSONIC. Please see those holes drilled on the bar. You may adjust the span between screws by fastening them to different hole. Thanks.

I used it on a Dell LCD projector. I'm sure it would work with anything, I had lot's of spare hardware that came with it. The screws that connected the bracket arms to the projector were very specialized in bolt thread, I could not find it any where, but it came with the bracket so I was fine. It's hanging in the ceiling of my classroom.

The mount has an adjustable ball and socket joint between the projector base plate and the telescoping shaft. It should allow you to adjust for the angle of a vaulted ceiling. You can also use the keystone correction on your projector if needed. Edit: Just noticed in the spec that the tilt angle is +/- 25 degrees, so definitely check the angle of your ceiling first.

I think this would be an awkward way to use it. The weight of the projector and arm would almost certainly cause the arm to pivot downward no matter how tight you fasten the screws at the "wall"-side arm attachment point. You'd need some kind of second anchor like a wire that very securely held the arm up to the ceiling or to a higher point on the wall than the mount plate. If you have a very short throw projector and are confident the anchored wire won't pull out of the wall, it might work, but I think you would be happier with a standard wall mount instead.

Probably not. Mine won't fit any projector at all because it's impossible to put together. This is not an issue with not being able to read the directions. It would work fine, except that my kit arrived with some of the holes that are supposed to be threaded lacking threads. Impossible to screw certain pieces together because of this.

There is NO height adjustment on this mount. Once installed the projector easily swings up and down or left to right, but you cannot actually lower the entire projector with this mount. If you need it lower you will have to use a pipe or something similar to lower it from the ceiling. Small changes to your screen can be made by pointing your projector up or down, but ideally it is better for your projector to be level compared with the top of your screen

Jerry: I don't know about a, quote, quick release screw. The way it is designed it should swivel (IE: from the wall straight ahead to an adjacent wall) by loosening an hex head (allen bolt) bolt on the shaft. By design there is a flat (horizontal) plate that screws to the ceiling, then a tube is welded to the plate. That vertical tube slides onto another tube connecting the main housing that mounts the projector. I just swapped projectors and to get mine down I unscrewed the hex head bolts on the swivel tube. You should be able to swivel it at least 80 degrees no problem. If you want to do it on a regular, say weekly, basis I would not get this unit.

that would depend on the how big of a screen you want and what angle you are projecting. I have my projector mounted on the ceiling and projecting a 110" image on my wall. I have rather good definition although the angle form the ceiling mount makes one corner of the projection not as clear as the rest,(there is a lens focus that you adjust for different distances) but from what I have read on every projector this is a very common problem. I would recommend this projector over any other. between it's value and clarity its a great buy for a big screen without the big price. let me know if you have any other questions.

I don't think the mount will tilt that far. As far as fitting a specific projector, the mounting arms do extend and rotate to different angles. It should fit, It fit my Epson EX51.

It's a fixed position. You can tilt left/right/up/down as well as turn completely around. So you'll need to adjust the zoom on your projector or place in best tile for correct distance & quality display.

I used the "QualGear PRB-717-WHT Universal Ceiling Mount Projector Accessory" for the projector I purchased (BenQ HT-series HT1075 1080P 2,200 ANSI Lumen 3D Full HD Home Theater Projector). It was not 100% intuitive, but had plenty of adjustability and mounting hardware - I would recommend this mount, much better than the previous mount I had. BTW - very happy with the projector - My son uses this mostly for gaming.

It can be tilted in any direction. It should work for that projector, as it comes with so many different attachments the configurations are almost endless.

Yes, just not from any flimsy ceiling tiles! Make sure you at least have a wood backing up there. Also, make SURE the mount will fit before you buy!! I had to seriously alter mine to get it to line up w the mounts on the projector but now it's pretty good. Good thing Amazon has a great return policy if not though. I like the pivoting feature and ease to tighten that. Hope this helps!

Honestly I don't think the designers thought of it: As far as I can tell you'll need a ceiling mount which cradles it, instead of one of those that simply bolts right into the projector, and on top of that; one that doesn't obscure the connectors, located on the right side towards the back, unless you only need VGA or USB which are on the back. But it can flip the image upside down.
