Vaddio 535-2000-291 Drop-Down Mount for Small PTZ Cameras – Long

Product Overview

The Vaddio 535-2000-291 is a long drop-down ceiling mount engineered for small PTZ cameras in commercial AV environments. This Vaddio PTZ camera drop-down mount extends approximately 24 inches below the ceiling, making it the preferred choice for high-ceiling spaces such as boardrooms, all-hands rooms, and auditoriums where a short drop would leave the camera too close to the ceiling for effective coverage. Compatible with Vaddio ConferenceSHOT and EasyIP 10 series cameras, the 535-2000-291 delivers consistent, professional ceiling-mount PTZ installations in demanding commercial settings.

Product Description

The Vaddio 535-2000-291 Drop-Down Mount provides a long-pole ceiling installation solution for small-form-factor PTZ cameras. Fabricated from heavy-gauge steel, the mount drops approximately 24 inches below the ceiling surface, positioning the camera at an effective pan-tilt-zoom capture angle in rooms with higher ceilings or elevated ceiling structures. This drop length is well-suited for spaces with ceiling heights from 12 to 18 feet, where a 12-inch drop would not bring the camera low enough for optimal room coverage. The mount is fully compatible with Vaddio ConferenceSHOT AV, ConferenceSHOT 10, and EasyIP 10 camera systems. Internal cable routing keeps cabling concealed within the pole for a clean, finished installation. For lower-ceiling installations, Vaddio offers the companion 535-2000-290 short-drop variant. Both mounts use the same ceiling junction box attachment method, simplifying specification across multi-room deployments.
