Product Description

The Chief KITPS012018 projector ceiling mount kit provides a complete solution for hanging a projector from a lightweight suspended ceiling system in commercial environments. The RPAU universal projector mount ships with Chief's newly designed SLB universal bracket, which accommodates most inverted projectors without additional adapter plates. The mount supports independent roll, pitch, and yaw adjustment, enabling precise image registration during commissioning. Quick projector connect and disconnect functionality speeds up lamp and filter servicing on most projector models. The CMS012018 extension column provides the appropriate drop length for most standard ceiling heights, and the CMS440 ceiling plate is rated for lightweight suspended grid ceilings common in commercial office and educational environments. With a 50 lb (22.7 kg) weight capacity, this kit covers the majority of commercial laser and lamp-based projectors. All components ship in black finish and are factory-matched for a cohesive installed appearance.
