How do you adjust the mount to the minimum length of 15.7"? Do you only use two of the extension poles or do you use all three?

Mine is at the min length. I used the top large, pole to mount to the upper bracket and the middle, small pole to to mount to the projector bracket. It works great.

You'd only use one piece. The adjustments are in slotted holes in each of the three extension pieces. It's a great mount. I ended up taking a hack saw to one piece though to get it the exact height I wanted.

you can adjust the height on this one also. you just screw the mount on different holes on bracket.

there is no minimum. you adjust where you want to mount the hardware by adding a block of wood if necessary for backing to get the hardware in position desired.

Go to the wholesaler under accessories and look up additional mounting brackets,

This is Very easy to adjust! and you can make it smaller by just removing one of the middle poles. I love it.

I would go to hardware store and get a couple stainless steal couplers, and some all thread of the appropriate dimensions. Make an extension the exact length you want/need?

Two inches is all you need. Thats what I have as well! Great purchase! I couldn't be happier with this desk mount!

I could not use the regular base mount because my jalousies are flush to ceiling with no end wall. When I saw it, I'd guess 4" to be safe. If you're uncertain as I was, it's safer to consult an expert. I went ahead and adapted mounts but the job is clearly unprofessional. I wanted washable curtains and rods are not meant for the building. A professional job wouldn't have cost much more.

you can move the mounts forward and back a little ( probably 12 - 18 inches) total. The only modification I did was to cut the ubolts a bit so they would not poke through the bottom of my cover bag. RC

I had to buy different mounts. The ones supplied are nice but they are not 30mm (3\8). I looked at adapters and such but ended up getting new higher rise mounts.

The mounting bracket is 3 7/8" wide. It is in 2 parts with the bottom portion being held in place by the 2 screws you mention. That portion can be removed and reattached at several spots to accommodate desks with varying thicknesses. However this only allows for adjusting the size of the "C" the clamp makes for different desk sizes. With the bottom bracket removed you still have an inverted "L" shape at the base that is permanently attached. In other words if you are hoping to be able to have just the pole without the mount at all, this would not be possible.

mine is already mounted, so I extended the arm and measured. The arm is 16", the base extends 1", and the arms are 3" apart. So 16+16+1+1+3=37". I would say there could be some variance in manufacture of =/- 1" but even so I'd think it would work. You could use some wood blocking behind the mounting bases and use longer lag bolts. Like the other reviewers state it is best to buy better/ longer lag bolts from the hardware store, cause the ones included are not the best. Hope this helps!

You disconnect both worm-drive clamps so they are open and wrap around the pole. May take two people to mount. I did it alone bit not without losing some religion!

you will need to install a mag extension to use this mount. Once installed it works very well. I agree with others get the quick release

I use a shockmount (AT8458). It threads right into the stand with the default hardware. No adapting necessary.

The minimum length is actually more like 87" (I just measured it). It would be possible to cut out the center extension (you would have to re-bungee it), but even then you only get down to 60 inches. Can't get shorter than that with this pole.

Pat Sorry for the late response. It looks as if three slots will do it. My mount has weird spacing but I am sure that three is the trick; this red dot is very short. Hope this helps. Dan
