Review on QualGear QG PM 002 BLK Universal Projector Ceiling by Brent Borseth

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great mount, better than the first one I tried and returned

This was my second attempt at installing a mount for my new ViewSonic PRO8530HDL projector. But I have a strange setup with the shape and composition of my area. I have cathedral ceilings in my great room so I knew I wouldn't be propping this off the ceiling. But I have a 3/4 floating wall between the kitchen and a large room with closets on the other side. I decided to use one of these brackets, but "upside down" from their normal hanging position, and use them to mount something ABOVE when it was attached to the top of the kitchen cabinets, and held it so that it peeked out from behind the walls. The first one I had wouldn't travel a bit more distance between two reindeer and one of the bindings just didn't fit. I sent it back hoping it would be better. I liked the location of this one compared to the other. Everything was the same, only better. Especially the claw you attach the projector to. Part options have simplified the size and assembly of my projector. My downside is that it's meant to be hung from the ceiling, just like a ceiling fan mount is meant to be used to hang a ceiling fan on until you hook things up. It's the same - the claw mount has cutouts so you can literally hang it on a pole giving you time to put the screws in, that put them in position. What I did had the base installed from below and the lever sticking straight up with the projector on top is the opposite, so the installation was more difficult. But everything went well. Despite this, it was very strong and stable when used in a direction it wasn't designed for. I was able to line things up properly and had no issues with the movement. Unfortunately, this position turned out to be 12 to 18 inches farther from the wall-mounted screen, and I can't shrink the image enough to fit the screen without going over the edges. So, I have a relative who owns a metal factory that will make me a specially designed panel that I will mount directly on the wall, with a trampoline-like platform sticking out from behind the wall for me to sit on. So, although I can't use this mount due to the layout of things, it worked flawlessly. I have no complaints. I was able to line things up properly and had no issues with the movement.
