Could this be mounted from the ceiling? Has anyone actually tried doing so? - how does it look?

I believe they can in fact be mounted from the ceiling. Never thought about something like that but could see the benefit. Interesting idea!

Technically it could be mounted that way ~ the hook on the end seems curved enough. You would have to use better drywall anchors than it comes with it. Because is it is adjustable however I wouldn't count on it to hold much weight as it would depend on the tightness of the set screw to keep the end from slipping out. Appearance wise it would probably be acceptable looking.

Yes, but weight capacity would be very limited. Even if you used anchors, but if you can find toggle bolts to fit it might work.

I would mount it as shown in the picture. The housing is only about 1" down from the ceiling. It mounts the same as any other ceiling fixture.

As the other two respondents said, I believe you could ceiling mount it, but it would not hang as in the photo because the mounting screw is on the back. The sensor would be pointing downward and the light would be angled 45 degrees from how it is pictured. All in all, I doubt it would be a good idea. Additionally, since it requires an electrical mounting ( it is not battery operated) it would require running wire and installing the outlet in the overhang.

We mounted the system on the wall. I do not recall if it can be mounted on the ceiling.

I didn't think about hanging it from the ceiling, but perhaps it could be done. I displayed mine as if sitting on the tarmac. I did hang up my Sikorsky CH-54A Sky Crane and it looks impressive.

yes, you can mount from a ceiling but the camera will be rotated 90 degrees, basically laying on it's side.The ball joint won't allow it to rotate enough for the camera to be oriented correctly, but it would not bother me in the slightest.

It is not designed to be mounted to the wall. You would have to add your own hardware to hang it. It fits tight against the wall as is.

Hi David,In regards to your question about mounting, the frame is designed to be wall mounted. However, it is conceivable that hooks from a ceiling could be modified to allow suspending the frame from a ceiling. The assembled frame is taller than most door openings and would make moving it from one location to another challenging. This screen is really designed to be wall hung and not moved around. For outdoor parties, I would recommend a large white sheet or tarp of some sort. Hope this helps. Dennis

No, it's just for ceiling. If you did wall mount it you would have to get really creative at a hardware store about how to hang it.

For now I have not mounted it. My son in law told me I would have to get a metal pole to mount it on and the metal pole would be mounted on the side of my house facing south. For now, I am bringing it in and out of my house. I have a long nail and I have been hanging it on that with string. It sounds amateurish but that is the best I can do for now until someone helps me mount it.

Pretty much designed to be mounted... not something you'd move around easy in my opinion... good luck

Yes, this can be mounted easily on the wall or the ceiling. Looks and works beautifully. I have mine mounted on the wall.

It's not designed to be wall mounted. I suppose if you were handy you could rig something. However, it's quite heavy, so whatever you did would need to be capable of supporting considerable weight.

Yes, it comes with it's own mount and can be installed hanging from a ceiling.I have 3 installed this way

Absolutely! It can be mounted on a ceiling, or wall. The bracket is easily mounted in any direction. But I would make sure it is load bearing and won't rip out of the ceiling.

You should be able to mount it on a ceiling. You may have to seal around the mounting base.

Yes, you probably could but you would need to hang it from a strong stud in the ceiling.
