Need a ceiling mount - This one any good?

[Will18]

Looking to ceiling mount my PJ, money is really tight and saw this on ebay

anyone have one of these? are they any good, thanks

designed by porshce

i doubt it, it's FUGLY (of course, you may feel that way about porshce's anyway ala cayene )

however it probably works fine, alough it looks cheap and nasty imo.

i have a vogels mount, was about £70 from nexnix.co.uk and is a classy mount

I wouldn't bother with the Vogels mount, I have one and there is no facility for tightening it up, it just relies on friction to keep the projector in place, not very satisfactory for a £70.00 mount.

"Only available in black" - Yuk!

Wait a while & save some pennies to get something decent.

let me correct a point here...i had a vogels delivered this morn from nexnix...cost was £104.58 del ......and of course they forgot to send the adaptor fittings for the sanyo z4..... it has wound me up no end....whole day wasted

hi will
just got one of these today but from a different trader ended up paying £11 plus del came in stainless steel not to elegant but when mounted on the ceiling you dont see to much of it anyway main thing for me is it does the job

[stigbob]

Smudgie,
where did you get your silver mount from?, have they got any more?

Cheers,
Paul.

i wish i had taken more time as the vogels will not lock....as already posted

[Reign-Mack]

I have this mount in Silver used it with my sony VPL CX6 and now with my TX100 works well enough and like it already been said, when up on the ceiling you dont see much of it at all.

... saying the vogels does not lock or can't be tightened.

It can. I've done it. Not too difficult. Takes a few minutes. Can't remember how but it involved dismantling the centre piece ( i.e. the bit with the spring ) Bit of tightening from that side was involved as far as I remember and put back together. Mount would need a fiir bit of force to adjust now. Me, I like the vogels mount, it's neat and blends in.

Try here www.imount.co.uk, got mine from here, believe it's the same company that is selling it on e-bay, no P+P when i bought it either. Not the best looking mount in the world, but does the job.
