Review on πŸ”¦ QualGear PRB-717-Blk Ceiling Mount Projector Accessory: Premium Black Mount for Enhanced Projection Experience by Andy Edwards

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Looks and works well but is not easy to install

Installed this on my new BenQ HT3550 projector yesterday . It looks good and is well made, but I have one major complaint. The supplied gaskets do not stick together, which makes assembly so difficult. If you simply assembled the pads like Lego, the assembly time would be reduced by at least 30 minutes. Anyway, the leveling discs themselves "nest" into each other but don't stay together well, and the leveling discs won't insert and snap into the arm spacer (which takes up the height difference due to the rolled steel arm), causing all the spacers to slide and try to insert a screw through it into the projector. PROS: + Looks nice + Relatively easy to adjust (thumbscrews would be better) + Easy to attach and detach projector for maintenance with hooks (again, thumbscrews would be better) + Instructions well-written + Includes various spacers to allow you to adjust attaches to almost any projector + All items are individually boxed and itemized so you don't miss out and know what each part is for (VERY GOOD!) CONS: Spacers don't snap, making assembly more difficult than necessary. It would be nice if they included some longer M4 screws for higher pitch use like the BenQ HT3550. I would say that M4x25 screws will do just fine and would like 30mm long screws to ensure a good thread purchase. It is also recommended to use M4 washers with M4 bolts. Larger washers are messy. - No thumbscrews to adjust and remove without tools.

Pros
  • Universal design fits most projector brands Snap-in design for quick installation
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
