Weird question. I rent and landlord won’t let me drill in the ceiling. Do you think it could be possible to mount this upside down so it would sit on a table? is it easy to loads, tighten the tilt appropriately as so it does not tilt or drop unexpectedly?
Yes! You can definitely attach the projector mount to a table. It will work. Most projectors have the ability to flip the image so it’s no problem. I also have a 2nd projector mount (without an arm) that I’ve attached to a tripod and is similar to what you want to accomplish with a table. But make sure all the screws are tight so it won’t accidentally move from the weight of the projector. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for pointing that out! I’m one of those guys that almost never reads the instructions. However I still have my ceiling mount attached with wall anchors. I’m not too worried since the projectors I’m using aren’t too heavy. Thanks for watching!
Yes! On this projector I only used 2 of the mounting holes. The mounting holes were too close together on this model. I probably should’ve demonstrated on a different projector. But this is to show an alternate way to attach the projector mount. Also these budget projectors are really light weigh so there’s no problem for me using only 2 screws. Hope this helps!
As a wannabe artist, Id like to aim a projector at 3 locations from one spot. Onto the wall, the floor and a 45 degree angle onto a drafting table. Any idea's? Or would most use this support?
2:00 It sounds like you're using the anchors in just drywall. Per instructions those are for concrete wall mounting. Just curious has your projector fallen yet because I do not see how those would hold up a projector in just drywall over the years.
I currently don’t have a projector attached to this ceiling mount. But the ceiling mount is still on the ceiling. But the projector you saw in my video is very light weight. So the way I have it mounted is ok. But yes if I had a heavy projector I would definitely screw it into a joist. Thanks for watching!
If u were to remove the projector to replace the bulb, which screws would u remove? The ceiling or the allen key ones in the middle or the bottom ones?
so to be sure, you said in your video that you mounted the projector without studs directly into the drywall and you haven't had any issues with that since?
Yes! I installed the projector mount into the drywall without going into the stud. But keep in mind that you will have to use the wall anchors to secure the screws into the drywall. You can’t mount this into the drywall only. Budget projectors are pretty light so the wall anchors will hold without a problem. The mounting kit includes plastic wall anchors and the installation feels solid. Hope this helps!
@@TheRenderQ Hi ,I've been trying to find the studs in my ceiling usin a stud detector and even using that when detects the stud being the ceiling the screw goes straigth without touching any wood , so my best option is to use wall anchors i dont see any other option, i have an epson projector i hope hold the weight
Actually I’m not sure how to tell if there’s wiring in the ceiling when I’m drilling. I suppose you could insert your drill bit into the drill as far as possible and then drill slowly. The drywall should only be 1/2” thick so just drill in slowly until you get through. The Vivo mount can support up to 30 pounds. The Epson 2250 is about 11 pounds so you should be ok. Hope this helps!
Yes! I believe that you can swing the mount so you can project onto the ground. The arm has a joint at the ceiling and there’s also a joint where the arm connects to the projector. I think as long as the projector isn’t too heavy you can tighten the screws enough on the ceiling joint to hold the projector so it points to the ground. Hope this helps!
You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed my projector mount video! It’s a nice mount! I’ve connected quite a few projectors to it and it’s great! Thanks for watching!
Nice video. Thank you! How did you run the power thru the ceiling? My power cable is too short to get it to an outlet and I'm not sure running it to an extension cord thru the ceiling is safe.
Sorry but this bracket Don't look very solid for me I don't know where you live but just imagine 30 pound In California + Earthquake I don't think does brocket can survive dynamic forces
During an earthquake I’d say yes you can’t really expect this mount to 100% hold up to shaking. Especially since there’s weight at the end creating leverage for it to pull on the mount. The whole thing is more likely to rip out of the ceiling than the projector disconnecting from the mount. It the mount is screwed into a hoist then maybe it can withstand an earthquake better. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for making this. I wish it was more clear on the paper instruction on where the plastic vs metal washers are placed.
Great video but that "it looks a little ghetto right now" came from left field ngl 😂

The instructions say not to use without a stud. The wall anchors supplied are for brick or concrete.

So the mount didn't fit the projector? So use only 2 mounting holes instead of 4?

Does this work with a epson 3800 4k?
Excellent video, thanks!

@@TheRenderQ Thanks for the reply appreciate it
If u were to remove the projector to replace the bulb, which screws would u remove? The ceiling or the allen key ones in the middle or the bottom ones?
To remove the projector I take out the Allen screws on the joint directly above the projector. The ones closest to the projector. Hope that helps!
@@TheRenderQ thanks
Thanks for all the info
What model drill did you use to drill the holes in the ceiling?
so to be sure, you said in your video that you mounted the projector without studs directly into the drywall and you haven't had any issues with that since?

Hello, how can I make sure that i don’t run into any wires or any when I drill. Also does the mount hold a epson 2250 projector. Thanks

@@TheRenderQ Thank you much
Studfinders.. you can buy ones that tell you if there are live wires
@@monoxzide1073 thanks Jamie
Can you angle the mount so that the projector is facing/projecting on the ground?
Yes! I believe that you can swing the mount so you can project onto the ground. The arm has a joint at the ceiling and there’s also a joint where the arm connects to the projector. I think as long as the projector isn’t too heavy you can tighten the screws enough on the ceiling joint to hold the projector so it points to the ground. Hope this helps!

brilliant video. thanks bro.

@@TheRenderQ yea i ordered one after this vid. looks great
What kind of pic is that called to lock the pole in place
That tool is an Allen wrench. Hope that helps!
I mean the type of screw

Hire an electrician to create a ceiling outlet or something
I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time, but I have a ceiling fan in the way. 😒

My instructions say 3/8 drill bit. Hmm
I want job
