Product Overview
The Vaddio 535-2000-293 is a long drop-down ceiling mount engineered for large PTZ cameras in commercial AV installations. This Vaddio large PTZ camera ceiling mount extends approximately 24 inches below the ceiling, providing the additional drop height required in boardrooms, auditoriums, and high-ceiling facilities where large-body PTZ cameras must be brought well below the ceiling plane for effective room coverage. Compatible with Sony EVI-HD series, Polycom EagleEye, Cisco Precision, Lumens VC-B30U, and 1 Beyond AutoTracker 3, the 535-2000-293 serves as the long-drop counterpart to the 535-2000-292 short mount.
Product Description
The Vaddio 535-2000-293 Drop-Down Mount provides a long-pole ceiling installation platform built to handle the larger dimensions and greater weight of commercial large PTZ camera systems. Fabricated from heavy-gauge steel, the mount extends approximately 24 inches (2 feet) below the ceiling surface, making it the correct choice for rooms with ceiling heights from 12 to 18 feet where a 12-inch short drop would leave the camera positioned too high for adequate room coverage. The 535-2000-293 supports a broad range of large PTZ cameras: Sony HD1, WallVIEW PRO HD1, WallVIEW CCU HD1, Sony EVI-HD1, EVI-HD3V, EVI-HD7V, Polycom EagleEye HD, EagleEye I, EagleEye II, EagleEye III, Cisco Precision HD, Cisco Precision 60, Lumens VC-B30U, and 1 Beyond AutoTracker 3. This broad cross-manufacturer compatibility makes the 535-2000-293 a strong specification choice for integrators managing mixed camera environments across an enterprise. Internal cable routing within the pole keeps AV and power cabling concealed for a professional installation finish. The mount uses standard ceiling junction box attachment, consistent with commercial AV installation practices.
