Chief KITMC080135B

The Chief KITMC080135B is a complete, all-in-one ceiling projector mount kit designed for professional AV installations where everything must be right from day one. The kit bundles the RPMEU Mini Elite Projector Mount, a CPA116 flat ceiling plate, a CPA640 decorative shield ring, and an 80–135 cm telescoping extension column — covering the most common ceiling-height scenarios in one box. Targeted at AV integrators and system installers working in corporate, education, and hospitality environments, the kit eliminates the need to source and match individual components. The result is a clean, secure, and professional-looking projector installation with minimal field engineering.

Telescoping Column with Infinite Positioning

The included CPA116-based adjustable column extends continuously from 80 to 135 cm, covering a 55 cm range without fixed steps or preset locking points. This matters in real installations where ceiling voids, structural beams or room acoustics dictate exactly where the projector must hang — not where a fixed-length pipe would place it. Infinite positioning means the installer sets the drop to the millimetre and locks it there, rather than compromising on image height or throw distance. For end users, this translates directly into a correctly aligned image on day one and no costly revisit to swap out a column of a different length.

MicroZone Adjustments for Precise Image Registration

Once the column is set, the RPMEU Mini Elite mount provides MicroZone fine-tune adjustments for pitch, roll and lateral positioning. In practice this means the installer can dial in a perfectly rectangular image on screen without physically moving the projector body or re-running cabling. This is especially valuable in rooms where the ceiling structure is not perfectly level, or where the projector must be offset from the screen centre. For the end user — a lecturer, presenter or AV operator — it means the image stays locked in place and does not drift or require regular re-alignment.

One box. Four components. Ready to hang.

Supports up to 22 kg · Black finish · Keyed locking security included

Q-Lock Quick-Release for Effortless Servicing

The Q-Lock lever allows the projector to be disconnected from the mount and lowered for lamp replacement, filter cleaning or firmware updates without removing the entire mount assembly from the ceiling. This cuts scheduled maintenance time significantly and removes the need for a full-height scaffold or lift platform on every service visit. Lamp-change intervals on most professional projectors are 3,000–5,000 hours, meaning this feature sees real use multiple times per year in high-usage environments such as lecture theatres or conference centres.

Integrated Keyed Locking Security

The kit includes Chief's keyed locking mechanism combined with All-Points Security hardware, physically preventing the projector from being removed without the correct key. This is a decisive factor in open-access environments — classrooms, public auditoriums, libraries — where projector theft is a genuine risk. Locking is built into the mount itself rather than added as an afterthought, so there are no visible padlocks or cable ties that compromise the installation's professional appearance.

22 kg Weight Capacity Covers Most Professional Projectors

The kit is rated to 22 kg, which comfortably accommodates the majority of single-chip DLP, 3LCD and laser phosphor projectors used in education and corporate AV. Installers can specify this kit with confidence across a broad range of projector models without needing to check for a heavy-duty alternative — reducing the number of SKUs to stock and quote. Heavier specialist projectors (cinema, large-venue) typically ship with manufacturer-specific rigging anyway, so the 22 kg ceiling is rarely a practical constraint.
