Review on Cheetah Mounts APMEB Universal Projector Ceiling Mount with Adjustable Extension Pole & Twisted Veins 15' HDMI Cable: Ultimate Solution for Projector Installation by Darrell Beecher

My projector fell off this mount. He was fine, aiming perfectly and then about 15 minutes later he fell. I explain why below. In my experience, I read the reviews and found that a small group had a similar experience. This suggests that there is a quality control issue that is causing a lot of trouble for some customers. First the positives: I chose this mount because I need about 6 inches of clearance from the sloping ceiling. This mount allows you to adjust the length of the arm and swivel the projector in any direction. Problem: Here are the problems that cause this mount to fail: 1. This mount has two parts that allow it to articulate. "receive" the side that attaches to the projector and the bracket that protrudes from the ceiling-mounted base. The pictures show that they are held together by tightening two pointed screws (black handles). The problem is (a) it's impossible to tell if the screws are properly seated in the recess on the shaft and (b) because the paint was too thick on either side I had to use a hammer to push the post all the way into the slot. To install. As a result, the screws and channel didn't really match. I took a picture before hanging the projector because at the time I thought it might be a problem (it was!). equipment. However, when the projector fell broke one end of the wire from the force of the falling projector. Surprisingly, my projector fell on the couch and appears to be unharmed. I reinstalled it with a hammer to fully install the mounting post. After doing this the mount seems very strong and I'm sure it won't fail again. All in all, this mount works well if you can mount the shaft properly. In my case, the excess paint caused the two parts of this system to become fully bonded, but in fact they are not. This seems to have happened to several other buyers who took the time to write reviews.
