Got this mount and it looks solid. Big worry is the ball joint - my projector weighs 18lb. Any idea if the ball joint will hold 18lb projector?

I have a 13 lb projector and it hasn't given me the slightest concern. The ball joint helped tremendously when it came to properly aligning the projector. I think you will be fine. Just make sure the screws are good and snug.

There's no way this mount want hold 18 pounds jus make sure the ball point screws are tight an mounted screws are secure

The mount has arms that you can manoeuvre the angles and the length of to fit the screw holes underneath most projectors. I have mounted three different brands and models successfully with my mount.

I've never had a problem with the mount. The only real issue is that it doesn't have a small amount of pivot like many other do, so it can be tricky to get it pointing dead-ahead. Other than that, it's been fine by me.

It is design to hold up to 135#, I just used it for my 70", 110# TV, and it feels solid. The important thing is to balance the TV (space evenly) on the horizontal mount. Look up the weight of the TV in your TV specs

I've only used it for a video projector, about 10lbs and a macbook pro, about 3 pounds. It's pretty stable. using the non extended legs. I haven't tried them extended but I would assume the higher you go, the less stable it is.

It is pretty solid and I am using it for my Epson projector and not sure how heavy that is.

My experience with this mount is it does not support the advertised weight. My tv was 80lbs and it would not properly support it. 60 inches is over the advertised size. I would look for another option.

I'm still tempted to try with a Samsung 46 inch (LN46a650). The weight distribution comment frankly sounds bogus to me, and my choices for the corner mount challenge I have are frankly dwindling to this mount or getting a smaller set. Did you finally proceed?

Yes I have. The platform has plenty of room for my projector. The only issue is that there isn't a lip on any of the sides to keep the projector from sliding off in steep angles. I had to fabricate one. Also, the base is a plastic like material not wood. It's plenty sturdy just not as thick as you would think.

I'm not sure of the mfg weight limit on the shelf, but it would be close to the max I would say. It does have a sturdy metal bar from the wall, but not sure of the strength of the bolts holding it to the wall or the place where the glass attaches to the support bar (a 3 inch circle that looks glued to the glass. Also the shelf is not deep enough for your projector by about 1 inch ( 15 inches front to back in the center) and just 18 inches side to side measured in the center of the sides. Because the shelf is rounded on the front and the corners are cut off in the back, it would depend on where the feet for your projector are, if they would even be on the shelf. There is about a 3 inch triangle cut off of each back corner, making the shelf on the side only 12 inches. I love the shelf and it works well for us but only holds a cable box. Hope this helps.

From the description on this item: Maximum weight capacity: 220lbs.As long as you properly attach this mount to support beams in your wall, you should be all good. This thing is a tank dude. I rock my 52" Samsung purchased in 2007 and that tv has a fat ass. This mount doesn't flinch. Swings around with ease. Only issue is if you're not careful, you can nick out the drywall when you're swinging the tv to the left or right. Just be aware of where the mount is in relation to the wall...since its behind the tv and out of sight.

I guess that depends on the weight of the projector. I have seen a large stack of books (5 or 6 bigger books) and a glass of water on this one. The projectors I remember likely weighed more than that. I think using a good glue when assembling would make it a bit stronger. I would put 10 pounds on it if also glued when screws were installed. I like it. very handy item.

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.

I would trust this mount... it is very solid. I use it in all my photo booths that travel to many many events!!

I had no problems with the mount. Measure carefully, use levels and squares, follow directions, you'll be fine. One thing at a time, do it right, move on to the next thing.....

All I can tell you Gregg, is that if this thing is properly mounted with lag bolts, I experienced zero sag or issues with the set falling out of position. My set is inside a costly custom cabinet where only the screen shows through a specially-built frame (I don't even see the thin bezel) ... so if the TV moves even more than a fraction of an inch, I will notice -- a couple months into using this mount and the TV hasn't budged (plus I've got it extended about 15" from the back mount, where one might expect to see some "sagging" given the distance from the wall. Bear in mind, my Samsung 8000 65" weighs less than 70 lbs, so I guess I'm not taxing this mount to its full weight limit --- but so far, I couldn't be happier with the ability to make fine adjustments, and then hold that position indefinitely.
