Our take on the Sanus VMPR1

by Melanie Seibert

Ceiling-mounting your LCD or DLP projector keeps it safe, secure, and out of the way. Sanus's VMPR1 provides a sturdy, convenient way to ceiling-mount most projectors up to 50 pounds.

The included ceiling and projector mount brackets boast high-quality steel construction. Hardware is supplied for securing most projectors to the VMPR1 (ceiling mounting hardware not included). Pitch, roll and yaw adjustment lets you precisely tweak the angle of the projector. (To display an image with straight edges on all sides, the projector's lens should be parallel to the screen.)

    Features

    Product Overview: The Sanus VMPR1 is a universal ceiling mount for inverted LCD/DLP front projectors. The mount adjusts in all directions to give you a perfectly shaped projected picture.

    Weight Capacity: The maximum weight to be installed on the mount is 50 pounds. It is recommended that the ceiling's structural members can support a redundant weight factor five times the weight of the equipment you intend to install. If the structure cannot support that amount of weight, the structure must be reinforced before you install the ceiling mount.

    Construction: All components of the VMPR1 are made of heavy-gauge steel for a secure and long-lasting mount.

    Main Parts: The VMPR1 consists of three main parts:

    • Flush Mount bracket: Mounts to ceiling; has slotted screw holes to allow adjustments for yaw position (rotation left or right)
    • Top Adjustable portion: Mounts to Flush Mount bracket; has adjustments for pitch (vertical elevation) and roll (horizontal tilt)
    • Bottom Adjustable portion: Mounts to Top adjustable portion and to projector; has 4 adjustable arms (and two extension arms if needed) to accommodate the projector's mounting holes. Each of the arms has adjustable leveling feet, so no spacers are required.

    Quick Release Feature: You can easily remove and reinstall the projector without removing any screws. The top and bottom portions are held together using thumb screws and open ended screw holes. To remove, you simply loosen the four thumb nuts and rotate the projector counter-clockwise 1/8 of a turn.

    Threaded Pipe Mount: The top portion of the VMPR1 has a 1-1/4" diameter internal threads to accommodate mounting to a 1-1/2" diameter extension pipe.

    Mounting Recommendations: The Flush Mount bracket should be secured to a wood framing member, such as a ceiling joist, using the front and rear screw holes (5.25" apart). Screws up to 3/8" diameter can be used for joist mounting. For a solid back ceiling, you can use the four screw holes (3.71" apart in a square pattern) using four 1/4" lag screws. If the area is accessible from above, you may also use four 1/4" machine bolts, nuts and washers.

    Supplied Hardware: The Sanus VMPR1 can accommodate a variety of projector mounting patterns and screw sizes. The mounting arms can cover an area approximately 12" in diameter. If the 2 extension arms are added, an area up to 18-1/2" in diameter can be covered. If the projector uses less than 4 mounting screws, the mounting arms can be removed. The VMPR1 also comes with the following hardware for attaching the projector:

    • M3 screws: 12mm long + M3 flat washers
    • M4 screws: 12mm long + M4 flat washers
    • M5 screws: 12mm long + M5 flat washers
    • M6 screws: 12mm long + M6 flat washers

    Required Tools: You will need the following tools to install the VMPR1 ceiling mount:

    • Open End Wrenches: M10 and M12
    • Phillips Screwdrivers
    • Allen Wrenches: No. 1 and No. 2 Allen wrenches provided
    • Other: Other tools may be needed depending upon the method of installation

    "multiplex"

    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    The model is VERY adaptive to probably most mounting needs. Lots of pieces to assemble but I suppose that is why it has such versatility options-wise. I have no issues with this mount It's doing the job.
    Pros:
    Will likely adapt to your mounting requrements.
    Cons:
    Learning curve on assembly.

    It's OK but...

    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I bought this mount because it was recommended with the order of my new projector. I
    will admit I did not do much research on mounts. I just figured they are all the same.
    This mount is OK and I am sure it will fit almost any projector out there. However, I don't
    like the way the bracket actually supports the projector itself. It is slotted instead of a bolt
    through style which makes me a little bit nervous at times. I am still having visions of my
    $3k investment hanging on the ceiling dropping 12 feet to the floor. I know it is tight
    enough but it is just a thought that goes through my mind from time to time.
