Is there a way to prevent the projector from sliding down the extension column if the clamp plate screw becomes loose? just got it & trying to install

If you have problems with the screw loosening, put a few drops of Loctite on the screw threads before tightening. You can buy a tiny tube of this at your local hardware store or auto parts store.

Sorry you are having issues... unlock the knob on the side, and push in the button on the other side when you slide it out. It actually should slide out either way. Many of these plates come with extra screws for your camera and generally they store them under the plate, usually screwed in. It's possible that maybe one of them loosened and is preventing your plate form coming out. Try turning over the whole thing and maybe that will create a gap to get your plate out. I have 4 of these, and at work we have another 6. I haven't had any issues, so hopefully this isn't a common problem. Hope that helps, good luck!

I have a friend that just bought this as well and has the same issue. The projector manual states that it needs 3mmx25mm Metric fasteners (screws) however I am guessing that the mount comes with Imperial screws that are a similar size. However as I understand it Metric and Imperial threads differ and therefore while you can make the included ones work (my friend did) it's a bit of a PITA.

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.

There is a grey screw with a Phillips head that you turn to either adjust up or down on the projector. Hope it helps.

The problem is that the guide on the bottom of the lamp is off set 1/16 of an inch when the plastic was poured...this blocks the lamp from seating all the way into the housing on your tv. The simple fix is to carefully shave off the "v" shaped ridges of the bottom guide so that the metal stud does not hit the plastic guide. Then your lamp will fully seat and the screws will tighten down. It's a flaw that happened in China when the lamp cast was made. You can see the misalignment of the raised plastic guide on the bottom of the lamp and the metal stud on the housing bracket with a flashlight when trying to seat the lamp in the housing. Once the raised plastic grooves on the lamp is shaved off, the lamp will seat and the TV will reset and operate...good luck...this in tire barca of lamps should be recalled by Amazon...they should not be sold, it's a manufacturing defect.

There is a tiny screw that you need to open so it will slide out. Once you install it in a box you can put it back and lock the screw.

I did not have this problem,but it is a easy fix,Pry off the two plastic caps that mount the plate to your monitor,you will see a bolt with a locking nut on one side,tighten this up problem solved. Hope this helped

The small screws on the underside are stops. They keep the plate and the camera from sliding through the clamp and possibly falling when the clamp is loosened.

Contact the company. I had a packaging issue with my mount and they were super in fixing the problem. When you contct the company, they will have someone call you back. Quick response.

At risk of being of no help... make sure the thumb screws are loose on both.To avoid pinching I extend and retract the legs by gripping the collar or slider (what ever the thing is called that holds all the legs and slides up and down the center pole)

I also purchased the Peerless ACC570 Wood Joist Ceiling Mounts and the Adjustable Ext Column 6" To 9" because I didn't want it so close to the ceiling. But I believe that you can just mount the projector mount directly to the ceiling with four large screws that will allow you to turn it a little if needed.

I had a similar issue after about the first week; there are couple of set screws (2 in each I believe) in each of the mounts that you can tighten. It worked for me. I hope this helps.

I noticed on mine as well, the optical cable doesnt seat right and wiggles loose easily on its own. try using a hdmi cable. if your priblem persists odds are you have incorrect settings someplace

Same problem here. I just connected the TV to the base without the screw and it seems pretty secure to me on the TV stand. Hopefully it not tumble over randomly one day while I am at work...

I had the same problem with mine, I actually ended up drilling a few holes all the way through and using a pin to keep it from sliding. Hope it helps
