Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have had my projector sitting on a shelf in my garage/man-cave for several years and have had to deal with the limitations of that setup for far too long. So I went looking for a good ceiling mount that wouldn’t break the bank. When I came across the Insignia universal mount, it looked like it would check all of the boxes. Having had good luck with other Insignia products in the past, I assumed this mount would be no different, and I was right. It is heavily made, easy to install, and does what it’s supposed to with very little fuss. The most difficult part of the installation was figuring out how best to attach the arms to my projector because the mounting locations are atypical and not symmetrical. After some fiddling around, I was able to match up the arms with the three mounting holes and tighten them appropriately for a solid connection using the included screws. However, once I got that little chore out of the way, the rest of the process went quite smoothly. I appreciate the simple, two-screw mounting method as locating them into a stud is straightforward and more logical than other four-screw setups. The mounting template helps ensure you drill the holes in your mounting surface at exactly the right spots to line up with the base plate. In fact, after my first attempt resulted in the projector being too close to the screen so as to not completely fill it (totally my fault for not paying attention to the throw characteristics of my projector) I was able to quickly and easily dismount and reinstall the whole thing a few feet further back. Once I had the mount secured in the right location and lifted the projector into place, it was simply a matter of adjusting the angles and tightening the set screws to make sure it didn’t move around. This mount has plenty of adjustability to meet what should be all but the most extreme cases of mounting locations. Just be sure to take your allen key and Phillips screwdriver up on the ladder with you when setting the final position. One tip if you’ve never ceiling mounted a projector. Before putting the projector itself onto the ceiling, turn it on, go through the settings, and make sure you have the image set to be inverted. Otherwise, once you have it up, you’ll be trying to navigate the menus upside-down which is not the most fun or ideal thing to do. Trust me.

This thing is a beast! First off, Insignia is Best Buy's "in-house" brand. I have had a greatbdeal of experience with Insignis over the years, and it has almost always been quite positive. This projector mount is no different. First off, it's realtively heavy. That is a good thing when it is holding a $1000 / $2000 or even more valued projector. Overall quality is great. The build is top-notch, the materials are very good, and the versatility is great. I tried it with three different projectors, (the least expensive one was $800, the middle one was $1500, and the one I use in my theater was $2200), and it worked on all three. I would have no problem using it on any projector, with 100% faith. As for installation, this is the third cieling mount I have installed over the years. This unit is no different from the others. If you are a fairly handy person, and have spent countless dollars and hours at any number of home improvement stores, you will have no problem installing it. If on the other hand, you may not be the most handy person, you may want to consider hiring a professional to install it. End of the day, you will love the outcome. If you have the4 need, this is a great choice, and I would reccomend to a friend.

For years I have been wanting to do a ceiling mounted projector in our house for movie nights. We enjoy having movie nights on the weekend, and love watching them on our projector for a huge movie like experience. The Insignia™ - Universal Projector Ceiling Mount allowed me to finally make the installation a reality. The projector mount worked great with our Epson Home Cinema projector. It will pretty much work with any standard three/four screw mount system. The installation was incredibly simple. Have a stud finder handy, a drill, and a screwdriver to properly install the mount to your ceiling. The adjustable mounting arms are great. Plus, the mount can be tilted for proper adjustment. I took it the extra mile and ran a new electrical outlet and cable management system next to the mount. This made for a much more cleaner and theater like experience. My surround sound system, HDMI, and power cable are now neately tucked in one place. If you are looking for a ceiling mount for your projector, I would highly recommend the Insignia™ - Universal Projector Ceiling Mount.

The insignia adjustable projector ceiling mount was exactly what I needed. It is fully adjustable both in the angle and the use of arms to connect the mount to your projector. I received this yesterday, and it took less than an hour to install including getting out all my tools and putting them away. I first snapped lines to figure where center in the ceiling was and made sure there was nothing blocking the way. If you have a ceiling fan in the room where you want to install this, you must ensure that your projector has keystoneing, giving it the ability to project from a side angle and then correct the image on the wall. Anyway, if there is nothing in the way, it is quick and easy to mount this on the ceiling, and just as quick to mount your projector, then you can fine tune the adjustments to make sure everything is lined up. One thing to ensure, you always want to make sure that you adequately hand tighten the screws into your projector. Do not use a ratchet or anything, or even a drill, as you could crack the plastic.

[PROS] Simple Install: Getting the mount setup is not overly complicated. It's a few screws and attachments. The package contents does include a mounting template so its easy to get started. It's nowhere near as painful as mounting a television unless your ceiling is extremely tall. Secure Hold: The mount didn't have much give after the installation. Some mount bases use 4 screws, but surprisingly two screws were sufficient enough. Overall, I feel assured that the projector will stay in place. Appropriate features: This mount isn't loaded with features, but it contains most of the necessary and desired capabilities. The 35 lb. weight limit is definitely accommodating for many projectors. The degree of tilt helps to achieve the best angle. Also, there's a basic cable guide for nearby ceiling outlets. [CONS] Height Limitation: The only knock that I can make against this mount is that it isn't height adjustable. A 9 inch height is okay, but I would prefer something that could be extended to accommodate for user error in placement. The tilt functionality alleviates some of this to a degree. [CONCLUSION] The Insignia Projector Mount is solid product that doesn't break the bank. It's made of quality materials and includes much of what I desire out of a projector mount for my ceiling. I would highly recommend it.

Bottom Line: The Insignia Universal Projector Ceiling Mount is easy to install and should work well for flush mount ceilings. Pros: easy to install Cons: no vertical height adjustment; not good for drop ceilings Review: The Insignia Universal Projector Ceiling Mount is easy to install and comes with the hardware necessary for most installations. To mount to joists, you simply need to drill two pilot holes using the included template and then wrench in the base with two included lag bolts. The bolts are pretty long, and so I do not have any concerns about the mount coming loose. From there, you screw on the descending arm, attach the bracket to the projector and to the mount arm, and tighten everything into place. The whole installation process should only take about 20 minutes including configuring your projector to display the picture properly. That said, my projector has a non-standard bracket placement that requires slightly longer bolts than the ones that are included. The instruction manual does provide pictures and directions on how to handle different bracket placements, and so it was just a matter of going to the hardware store to pick up the specific bolts my projector requires. There are two issues buyers should note when looking at this mount. First, it is designed to be installed directly flush with the ceiling. The instructions cover how to install through drywall into wood joists or anchoring to a concrete ceiling. You won’t, therefore, be able to achieve a clean look with a drop ceiling even though you can drop the mount arm through the tile if you really want. Second, the length of the mount arm isn’t adjustable, and so raising or dropping the height of the projection has to be done with the tilt of the bracket and tweaking the image with the projector.
