Works and a very good value.

Fairly easy to assemble...fit my projector. It is a little difficult to get it adjusted and make it hold tight...some slop in the bolts and tightening mechanism. There is a little rubber membrane that goes around the ball joint the assembly, the instructions do not address it...if I had not read about it in one of these reviews I may have thrown it away without realizing it. It is important to install this or I do not think the ball joint would work...its a little difficult to get it tight and hold even when properly assembled. You can do it and it does work, just takes some care and you must be careful if touching the projector or it may change the alignment. Keep in the mind the price...very economical so at the end of day I quite happy.Update:A couple of months after my original purchase I moved the projector and mount. I took a little more care this time tightening things and I must say it is holding very well at this time. Additionally, about a week ago I was contacted by customer service to express their concern with the tightening issues I described in my original review. They offered specific instructions for how best to tighten the ball joint (incremental tightening on both sides of the ball joint until secure). They also offered a partial refund to express their belief that customer satisfaction is top priority, AND have offered to send me an upgraded unit at no additional cost to me (I am allowed to keep the original unit as well). This is probably the most effort toward customer satisfaction of any company I have ever experienced. Wow.I am changing my rating to five star. The unit was a great value to begin with, but the level of customer service is exceptional...even more so given the dollar value of the transaction.

Excellent build, bit difficult to install.

I recently purchased this mount and installed it for my Benq HT1075.Overall, I think it's a decent mount, but my main gripe comes with the tightening of the ball joint. More on that later.As far as pros go, the mount is made out of very sturdy material. The lag bolts includes did the trick in securing it to the 2x4 it was mounted on. I only used 2 lag bolts with some extra screws. With some ingenuity this should be a great budget mount for anyone.When installing the mount, I thought it was a bit odd the mount went from a 7" bracket-base distance to the extensions' (which have to be used together) total distance of ~17" at a minimum. No biggie, I have a saw, so I cut it down to what I needed and moved on with my day.Next, my mount package only came with 5 bolts to attach the pole pieces together. This left a considerable amount of wiggle where the two extension poles are connected. Thinking back, I doubt another bolt would have solved my problem considering the bolts aren't tight in the holes and there isn't any tightening between the two poles. Also, not a biggie, but I have some shims and putting those in made the pole solid as a rock.Onto my main issue, the ball joint. In order to tighten this thing, you have to loosen the bolts above the joint, and then adjust it by grabbing the plate to do the final touches of positioning the projector image. You can't move the projector, because the brackets that attach to the plate will flex when moving and tightening the bolts. The plate is the most solid part, so that's what you'll have to use to adjust. Then, while holding the plate and making sure its where you want your projector, you have to tighten each side at the same time. If you don't, you'll risk the projector moving while tightening and holding. Its definitely a two person job. Also, those bolts don't seem to hold the projector very well. A little bump and you're off once again. Something that was a little stronger for tightening that final bit would have been awesome.But after that long rant. I think this is a decent product for the price. It is made of out strong material, but the installation process requires a bit of ingenuity.
