10 Best Projector Mounts (Review) In 2020

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.

You can choose to use the extension pole, or simply mount it as is. Unextended, there’s a short 5.9” length, but with the pole it can go up to 26.7” for taller ceilings. Furthermore, you get everything you need for mounting in this kit including the hardware. Your range is limited, but enough to slightly adjust the projector if needed. Left to right, you have a five-degree range. The longer the distance between the mount and the wall, the more a single degree of difference will impact the picture placement. Quality build, vastly inexpensive, and a long-term solution for your projector needs.

Second in command, QualGear comes in with an equally sturdy solution. Made of cold-rolled steel, their PRB mounting kit is extremely adjustable and can hold up to thirty pounds with ease. Mounting is simple, and so is dismounting; pop it off in one easy motion to move to other bracket systems if you need a better or different angle for presentations.

The adjustment range allows you to shift 20 degrees for roll, and 30 for pitch. QualGear PRB Universal Ceiling Mount Projector Accessory is simply better for close quarters where the projector isn’t traveling far to meet the wall. Rotate the entire thing 360 degrees, and tilt it up and down by a total of 60 degrees. This is the most technical, yet simple to operate projector mount you can buy. While it holds the projector in place properly, it doesn’t take much pressure to adjust it to your liking. With a two-minute setup, it’s the quickest out-of-the-box solution for your projector.

Vaulted ceilings got you down? Higher ceiling mean higher walls, and who wouldn’t want to use a project on them? Cheetah made the APMEB Universal Projector Ceiling Mount that’s specifically designed with a vaulted ceiling mount plate, so you can attach it with ease.

On top of that, they make sure that height won’t be an issue: extend this up to 27” for the perfect angle. Along with that, you can also use the swivel system to angle it accordingly. Loosen it to find that right spot, then use the knob to lock it in place. You’re going to get an HDMI cable included with your purchase as well. Run it through the tube with your RGB lineup to keep everything discreet and clean-looking.

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. If you are also looking for the right monitor arm, be sure to check out our selection of the best ones on the market.

VIVO simply makes some of the best projector mounts out there, and they always keep a budget-friendly price in mind. After all, you’ve already invested a fair amount into your projector, why should the mount kill your budget?

It doesn’t have to. Much like their competitors, VIVO makes this mount out of high grade steel with a 30 pound maximum capacity. With VIVO Universal Extending Projector Mount, you get a full 360 degree swivel system and up to 15 degrees for tilting in either direction. It’s just adjustable enough to be good in smaller spaces. Use the four arms to attach your projector, and use the quick release hooks to pop it down whenever you need to. It’s a versatile, inexpensive system that will outlast your projector. It makes a perfect gift for coworkers who use projectors.

After seeing the top half of our list, what else could a different projector mount really provide? Well, DYNAVISTA knew their competition, which is why they made this Full Motion Adjustable Ceiling Projector highly extendable. For vaulted ceilings, you can get an extra 43.6” worth of length.

They stayed the course with construction, though: fully high grade steel with a 30 pound weight limit, much like everybody else. What sets this unit apart is the three-way adjustable pole. This is in place to prevent wobbling or swaying while also allowing you to run cables through the central pipe. Tilt it 25 degrees in any direction, and mount anything that’s under 12.1”.

Getting this for a more work-oriented environment? QualGear’s lineup includes this little gem, the Pro-AV system for a cleaner and more refined look. Run your wires through the 1.5” NPT pipe for discretion, while taking advantage of the pre-sets for adjustments.

You don’t want to slowly tweak a projector mount while you’re trying to give a presentation; that’s why QualGear Pro-AV Joist Ceiling Adapter makes it easy with with these pre-configured settings that adjust the roll or pitch in six different angles. You’ll also get a five-year warranty with your purchase. Utilize seven different types for variable ceiling styles, including truss and vaulted. The only stipulation here is that you can only mount it to wood or concrete due to the size and eventual weight of the projector.

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.

By now, you know that we love QualGear’s projector mounting systems. QualGear QG Projector Ceiling Mount Accessory is like the little brother model to some of their others, because it doesn’t actually extend like the others in this lineup. Instead, you have about 6” of clearance from the ceiling.

That’s the perfect distance for the 15 degree up and down motioning, and allows you to use the full 360 swivel function with ease. Extra wide projects might run into an issue with the clearance, so know the dimensions of your projector before finalizing your decision. The center includes a small area for cable management. You’ll barely see any exposed wiring, unless looking head-on at a downward tilted projector. A telescopic extension model is available but bumps up the price by more than 50%.

Mount-It! Projector Wall Mount is the only one on this list that isn’t exclusively for ceilings. Use the four arms to attach your projector, and hook the arm up to the wall with five separate screws (all included).

Altogether, it’s a fairly quick installation and a unique system. Angle it accordingly so that it rests in a corner, and it’s like it’s out of sight and out of mind. We’re away from steel construction here. Instead, they use a hardened aluminum design. It’s still extremely sturdy, and it can actually hold up to 33 pounds, which we don’t see in most steel models.
