How to install a Monoprice projector support

Please subscribe!

Here I show you how to install the Monoprice Ceiling Bracket for Projector. The mount is only provided with two tubes: a n 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 mount is shown here with the InFocus IN72 Home Theater Projector.

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

@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.

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

@dananjames Never drill holes in a projector. The projector should come with holes for mounting. I bought this from Monoprice (Google it)

where do you find the screws to fit the mount to the projector. went to home depot and had no luck.

[Arqui3D]

I've often found such things in small neighborhood hardware stores.

@Arqui3D

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.
