Review on ๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ VIVO VP01W Universal Adjustable Projection Mount by Malik Munns

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A small three-point connection to your projector? Yes it can! Do not give up.

I tried to adapt it to the 3 points for my Optoma HD146X and I thought it wouldn't work and I would have to buy something else (actually I installed it the same day I got it at Revain ordered two other brands and was willing to buy something for a specific model). But then I solved everything again and moved things around and it worked! See my first photo for the final configuration. It's important to note that the distances between the holes are not equal, so it matters which item you put where (because of the "three out of four" selection). Keep moving that thing and try again! The supplied screws are too short to fit the threads on this projector if you choose to use a washer. It seemed like a good idea to use a washer, so I bought more screws (M4-.70x12) at the local hardware store and they worked great (1/2" length, not 3/8"). Also pay attention. that you don't have free access to all the points to tighten them all at once - you have to fasten them one at a time while the nuts on the round part have to be nice and loose to get things out of the way and then tighten everything up. I followed someone's example in these reviews to shorten the thing by removing a piece. Although my projector is currently hanging from the ceiling, it is only attached with 2 screws due to the leveling, not with 4. As a result, I would expect it to lean to the right (as you see in the photo) since the weight is greater on that side (unfortunately the three mounting points are not over the projector's center of gravity). If I get too tired to straighten it again I'll reattach all the parts (that I left) and just deal with it hanging a little lower. In general I would prefer to keep all parts included if doing this again. I will reattach all the parts (that I left) and just concern myself with letting it hang a little lower.
