10 Best Projector Mounts (Review) In 2020

VIVO know what they’re doing when it comes to mounts, but their Universal Adjustable Ceiling Projector Mount is a bit of a different story. Keeping the theme of their excellent pricing in mind, this unit is affordable as can be, but it’s a low-profile mounting system.

That means it doesn’t extend. It rests 6” from the ceiling, which is plenty of space if you don’t have vaulted or high ceilings. Maneuver this 15 degrees in either direction and allow the 360 degree swivel system to do most of the work for you. Much like other units we’ve reviewed today, this holds up to 30 pounds, which is more than enough for most projectors on the market. The only stipulation is that, while it’s labeled as a universal projector mount, your project needs to have a 12.5” or lower back plate.

Simply put, VideoSecu LCD DLP Ceiling Mount Projector is the most power you can get for a low price. VideoSecu put the pedal to the metal with this one, crafting it out of an all-steel design that can hold up to a whopping 44 lbs. For a projector mount, that’s pretty impressive.

Suptek took a very ambitious approach with their design. Suptek Universal Projector Ceiling Mount Brackets included a full 360 degree swivel action, and 90 degrees of up and down rotation. It greatly exceeds everything we’ve seen before, but it doesn’t quite hit the mark all the way.

The reason most other units have a smaller swivel motion is because you don’t really need anything beyond 25-30 degrees. After that point, it’s hard to lock the projector in place. If you mount it properly, 30 degrees is the most you’ll ever need. That, and it only goes up to 21.25” instead of the standard 25-27” range. Suptek’s system is still built very well and works for all your projector needs, they just set the mark a little too high and weren’t able to fill out all of those roles.
