Chief VCT018E INCL CUSTOM HC018E BLK - VCT018E

Product Overview

The Chief VCT018E is a heavy-duty ceiling projector mount engineered for large LCD and CRT projectors in permanent commercial installations. It ships with the custom HC018E interface bracket for a direct, secure fit to the target projector. Independent roll, pitch, and yaw adjustment let an integrator dial in precise image registration during commissioning. The mount is well suited to auditoriums, houses of worship, and large conference rooms where a projector hangs from a structural ceiling.

Product Description

The Chief VCT018E projector mount pairs a rugged ceiling mounting structure with the HC018E custom interface, giving installers a complete heavy projector ceiling mount in a single SKU. The mount provides the strong support required for mounting heavy LCD and CRT projectors that lighter universal mounts cannot safely carry. Independent roll, pitch, and yaw adjustments allow quick and precise projector registration so the projected image aligns correctly to the screen. Three installation options give flexibility for different ceiling structures: flush mounting directly to the ceiling, suspension on 0.5" threaded rods, or attachment to a 1.5" NPT extension column for lower drops. A quick connect and disconnect feature provides convenient lamp and filter access on most projectors without fully dismounting the unit. Cables route through the top of the mount without additional accessories, keeping the installation clean. For a flush ceiling mount configuration, the LPK1 accessory is available. The black finish blends into most ceiling environments used in commercial AV spaces.
