Insignia™ - Universal Projector Ceiling Mount - Black

Got this for my Valerion Streammaster Pro and it does the job! Its sturdy and it keeps my projector safely mounted on the basement ceiling. I highly recommend it!

This projector ceiling mount has been a pretty good add to my home theater set up. This ceiling mount has several aspects in which I love but only one that I do not completely enjoy. From a positive standpoint this mount is black in color and built very durably. It can maintain up to 35 pounds, can be use with 3 or 4 hole mounting hole and has up to a 14" wing span between mounting holes. In short this is beyond sturdy, a previous mount i had used we build as "efficiently" as possible but gave me pause on if it could support the weight of my projector. The only odd thing about the mount is that the tilt in the fact that it requires a screwdriver to adjust, other mounts had a screw pin or something more user friendly in order to adjust. This was the only real item that was a tad annoying to me. In terms of setting up the the mount to my ceiling ( make sure you use blocking if you cannot use a stud) it was very straight forward via means of 2 deep set screws. All in all this is an amazing ceiling mount that has surpassed my needs. The color is discrete and can fit most projects, as long as they are less thatn 35 lbs and need less than 14 inches of wing span between mount holes.

I’ve never really relied on ceiling mounting with an expensive piece of equipment. Even TV mounts carrying over 85 inches depend on snug-fit-engineering to keep heavy equipment up, but the materials used are so malleable, I would not put an OLED TV on them. Projector mounts are the most susceptible to gravity because they carry dead weight without any other anchors but the bolts on the beam. That is why I like this Insignia ceiling mount. It is built so solid, it is almost the actual extension of the beam holding my projector up. It changed my trust Installation is pretty simple. The kit comes with a template sheet to set my holes on a beam to match the exact holes of the mounting base. After a couple of unlucky beeps by my finder, and a ton of wood dust, the base plate is fixed. The pieces are very well built and the threads of the mounting pole to the ceiling plate is very precise. Each material piece is very solid. It is heavy and dense, much more like pure iron. Now connecting the mounting plate onto the projector is a little bit of a challenge. None of the arms really match my projector holes and the matching N bolts corresponding to the holes available to the mounting plate do not go deep enough into the projector. There is a good quarter inch of bolt sticking out from the ceiling plate. I had to improvise by using the arms as the spacers to keep the plate snug to the projector (see photo). After the plate is fixed onto my projector, it is easily hooked onto the mount body. Screws lock pieces in place and the hinges can be adjusted and tightened easily. The mount is very solid that my heavy 3LCD projector becomes light in comparison. That is all I need to give me peace of mind—one strong steady base that holds that piece up there, not just from breaking my device but from making sure it does not give me liabilities in the future. I know my equipment, and my family and crew are safe.

Sturdy projector ceiling mount with tilt and horizontal level adjustments. Comes with 4 mounting arms and numerous holes on the mounting plate to accommodate most projector bolt patterns. I’m using it on an Epson 2250 with 3 of the arms and it works perfectly. All of the pieces are made of sturdy metal and it comes with a good variety of screws, bolts, and washers to fit a variety of projectors. It’s a relatively shallow mount, but still drops down about 9” from the ceiling. I didn’t look it up, but the middle pipe threads into both the ceiling mounting plate and projector mount, so there’s likely a longer pipe available if you need a longer drop from the ceiling. As for how it functions.. It’s great! It’s a projector mount, so it’s likely going to be a set and forget installation. It has a fairly wide degree of vertical tilt and just enough adjustment range for horizontal leveling. Just loosen the bolts to adjust and tighten when it’s set. It’s a sturdy mount, fits my Epson projector perfectly, and does everything I need. They even include a cable organizing clip on the drop down to keep things tidy. If you’re looking for a sturdy universal projector ceiling mount, this Insignia mount is an excellent option at a solid price. It’s easy to put together, comes with everything, and has all of the adjustments I need. Good job Insignia!

The Insignia NS-PROJ25 projector mount is a compact, sturdy and versatile piece of kit that will serve the mounting needs of most medium to lightweight projectors. As long as the weight is under the 35-pound limit, and the mounting hole pattern of the projector is within the parameters established by the manual, it should probably work on your projector. In the box are the printed instructions utilizing an easy-to-read font size and black color as opposed to light gray and tiny fonts. Kudos to the factory for keeping it easy to read. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for all the information printed on the bottom of the box, because it fails the practical readability test. In describing the mechanisms involved in the mount, there is a “ceiling plate” that attaches to a sturdy structural member whose mounting location from the screen you wish to project to is determined by your projector’s lens-throw information and desired screen size. An easy-to-attach “mounting body” is threaded into the “ceiling plate” and held firmly in place via the generous amount of pipe threads and a hex-head lock screw. The “mounting base” attaches to the projector via only the plate, or if needed, with the assistance of some mounting arms extending to more widely-spaced mounting holes. Then, the whole assembly of the projector and the “mounting plate” are lifted onto the hooked aspect of the “mounting body” and secured with all the tightening hardware to dial in the projector’s image centered onto the screen. So, all-in-all not too hard. My impression of this mount design and it’s manufacturing is that it is sufficiently beefy to get the job done with the end result being a very attractive appearance while being practical in its adjustability. I’ve worked with a number of different projector mounts in the past, including ones that were holding up really heavy projectors, and this model seems easily up to the task for its weight range. My last mount suffered from an instability issue that caused me to have to re-adjust it more often than was convenient, so bye, bye old mount, and hello Insignia. As sometimes happens, everything turning out all right in the end takes an abrupt turn towards the unexpected, as happened here. During the short selection process of obtaining this mount, which did not afford me the opportunity to view the actual maximum dimensions of the mounting arms, I discovered that my projector’s mounting holes were spaced quite widely apart, going past the dimensions of the arms provided. So, Mr. Improviser and I just reused the longer arms of the previous mount and attached them to the Insignia mount, and all was on track again. Obviously, this isn’t the ideal situation, especially for those who don’t happen to have a set of longer compatible arms hanging around. Therefore, listen up, the dimensions of the mounting holes should be less than 9.58” for any two adjacent mounting holes while using the arms. Or, if you can imagine the mounting range as being within a circle with a 13.54” maximum diameter, which is handy to know if your projector is using three mounting holes. If you need any more specific dimensions, you should probably consult a copy of the owner’s manual. When all was said, done and tightened, the mount performed excellently and I am quite pleased. The stability seems to be just what I was looking for and the project was completed.
