BenQ CM00G3 Ceiling Mount for BenQ Home & Gaming Projectors I HT2050A, TH585P, TK700, TK700STi, X3000i

Instructions clearly indicate which drill size to use to make the pilot holes for the drywall anchors. After drilling the specified hole size, attempting to hammer the anchors into the holes simply deforms the drywall anchors. And the icing on the cake is that this pile of garbage AND the $1,500 projector fell out of the ceiling within minutes of me getting the screws in.

Came from a different universal mount which was not very good and did not result in an elegant installation. This is beautiful for BenQ HT1075. Follow directions.

I tried this out at various heights, including not using the drop pipes at all and mounting it close to the ceiling. All options went together fairly easily, all are very sturdy, and why not use a BenQ mount for your BenQ projector, even though it is pretty much universal. I wouldn't hesitate to order this again in the future. The tilt options are really easy at your fingertips with a lever lock instead of having to hold the unit in place and tighten up screws hoping it doesn't move while you tighten. Really easy to get just the right angle for install. If you're looking at a slightly cheaper universal option, this will likely be easier to setup, and it is definitely sturdy.

I used it to mount my BenQ HT4550i. All 4 mounting holes connected great with the included screws. I centered the mount over the projector's "center of gravity" mark to help with balance. It's fairly easy to assemble and mount. It feels very sturdy/rigid. I like the semi-quick release of the projector. I also like the pivot ball at the bottom - when unlocked, you can freely turn/tilt the unit, and then lock it in place.

Highly recommend that celling mount, if you have Benq X3000i model, it's very easy to adjust angles with +-25 degree wheel; it's very easy to dismount the projector, if you need it: you just need to unscrew 1 bolt manually and rotate the rojector out of the mount. Below, you could found very useful tips from me related to the mount. If your projector weight is more equal or more than 14 pounds, I'd highly recommend that mount. Do not risk by getting a wall mount, celling mount is far safer approach. Celling mount weight is 3,3 pounds. Suggestions for the self-mount: - Use 'Socket Wrench Set Ratchet Sets Mechanic Tools' for bolt adjustments - Use 'TOGGLER SnapSkru SP Self-Drilling Drywall Anchor with Screws #6, #10' as anchor bolts for drywall celling (do not use default, there are too weak and it's really hard to drive in) - Use' Franklin Sensors FST1302 ProSensor T13 Professional Stud Finder with 13-Sensors', for location of the studs. That's a pro lvl device that is highly accurate - Use 'BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Cordless Drill' with 2 drill bits: 3/16''' for bolts that will be going to the stud (without anchors); 7/32'' for the toggler anchors. Anckors are not required to be drilled on to wall, but on celling it's far easy to drill with 7/32'' and then screw the anchor. - Use 'UGREEN HDMI Extension Cable 4K HDMI Extender 16FT' as an extented that you will plug in to the projector. Then the other part you need to plug in to the HDMI cable - Use 'StarTech com 20ft (6m) Power Extension Cord, NEMA 5-15R to NEMA 5-15P' as an extented power cord. I'd suggest for you to plug in the default power cord that is recommended by Benq and hide it inside the tube with the extended side and plug in power side to the outlet - Use '153” Cord Hider - Cord Cover Wall - Wire Covers for Cords' as a cord cover. It's pretty long and highly adjustable, sticks to the wall very good and can place 1 HDMI extended cable (which is very thick) and 1 power cord extented cable (which is less thick) - Use 'HDMI Switch 4k@60hz HDMI Splitter, GANA Aluminum Bidirectional HDMI Switcher 2 in 1 Out' as HDMI switcher. I'd recommend to use it with that set up, in that case you could plug in PS5 and Apple TV to the switcher and with other HDMI cable connect switcher with extender. You will have very useful way to switch between channels with just 1 HDMI cable that be going from your projector output. - Use 'Reusable Fastening Cable Straps and Cable Ties Set 20 Pack(8"-12"-18") by YiwerDer', to strap 2 cables in between: HDMI & power cord, and then put it inside the cord hider. That is far easier for cable management adjustments.
