Any suggestions on how to suspend these from the ceiling? I have a stud finder, but I would need some bracket to attach the 15' cables.

We used large eye bolts and used the studs in the attic. Drilling a small hole through the stud from the attic will allow you to find the right position from the room you are hanging them in.

I use a sturdy support beam in my basement. I'm willing to bet there's ceiling mounts you can get in the event you don't have a beam strong enough

I wouldn't I recently hung them on a ceiling for a customer. They look great but they do sag. I don't think you can trust the base supporting the weight if you put them on a wall. I would put them on the ceiling where they are designed to go, or if that is not an option find something different there are tons of options.

i used staple gun to attach directly to beams, then put 1" raisers ( metal channel) to separate drywall from beams. this gives air space, same on ceiling, but you def need several people as it is very heavy.

yes we have 4 ceiling mounted at my restaurant about 15 feet away from the screens. I am not sure where to get the mounts, our in house "guy" fabricated them for us.

Screw the end brackets into the wall studs, be sure to measure first to see how long the hanger tubing is, there is a long pin that is in each wall bracket that runs thru the end of the hanger tube. Didn't directions come with your order, mine was easy to install, of course my brother did it for me!!!!!

The bracket needs a wise fixture. Just like anything you are hanging from the ceiling, you want to make sure it is secure. My beams run parallel with my garage door and so I put a small piece if 2x4 across two beams and attaches it to that. Works like a charm.

Depends on how it's held up. I had a high, angled ceiling, so I ended up using airplane cable (1/8th inch) attached to anchors in the ceiling studs. I think the cable is rated at 400-600 lbs per cable (at least), so I am confident that whatever I put on the rack won't bring it down.

HI, I, too, have a 15' stand. I added chain to both ends to make it usable. It does hang a bit low to the ground. I wish it were higher.

If you're installing it into a dry wall ceiling (not beams) then I suggest you get better anchors. The ones that come with it aren't very good in my opinion.

I used my wall mounts on the ceiling. They're just fine. You can't mount them "in-ceiling" if that's the question.

I agree with the previous poster. You need a ceiling mount that will cradle it. It will not attach directly to many of the ceiling mounts on the market that bolt in.

You could certainly extend the cords, but I would have reservations. How will you get up there for install? How will you retrieve the cord if you accidentally let it go without engaging it in the blind-like stop? (That happens.) Use your trigonometry skills to determine how much clearance you would need 20 feet down in order to engage the blind-like clamp. A 10 foot ceiling requires it to be installed 8 inches from the wall on the side of the mechanism. I would love to hear how this goes if you in fact do it.

That is how we installed our's. Put a nice stained board up for stability & put the mount on it. When we fold the TV up to the ceiling we attatch a bungie cord across it incase we hit a hard bump just to be sure the clame doen not bounce loose. Seems to work great.

Great idea! They don't weigh very much... I just used a hook that twisted into the drywall... I think it said it was good for hanging things up to 10lbs so there was no issue whatsoever.

There is a hole with screw slot on back, so looks like that is an option.considering length, they may not get that far off floor depending on ceiling.

I am currently hanging a 100lb in similar circumstances. The major problem I encountered was not being able to find the stud do to the surface material of the ceiling. Get your self a stud finder, on a flat surface, it should work well
