Vogel's EPW 6565, Projector Wall Mount, Tilt 20º and Swivel 360º, Max 10 Kg, Black/Silver

I bought the Vogels after undertaking a lot of research; I was mounting an Optoma HD50 projector in my study/snug room which has very high ceilings, thus a normal ceiling mount wouldn't work for me, and almost all of the wall brackets really looked flimsy and poorly engineered. I have to say that the Vogels is very well constructed, it feels a quality bracket and is very solid indeed. The instructions are a little cryptic as they are a series of illustrations, but as an engineer and keen DIY'er I soon worked this out. I would recommend taking your time and not rushing the install. First mount the projector to the main circular bracket - you may need to use the extension arms depending upon your projector, but this should fit just about any projector that I have seen on the market. Make sure everything is aligned (especially if your screen is already in-situ) and only then drill the wall - again measure twice and drill once has to be the motto here. I used specific Fisher rawplug fixings (size 10) and hefty screws (from Screwfix) - more substantial than those in the box, and I used four instead of the supplied three (this is all dependent upon your wall of course). One the bracket is up the arm can be fitted - this is where you need to be really careful, as one reviewer commented, the arm 'slots' in to two grooves and just simply pushing it on by hand isn't sufficient. You need a rubber mallet or similar and it needs to be tapped into place. I made an almost fatal error in mounting the projector to the arm, offering it up to the wall bracket and just trying to push it into place - the projector was not secure and came away from the wall bracket, but fortunately I was holding it!! Once the bracket is securely mounted to the wall bracket only then offer up and lock in place (which is very easy with the quick fit rotary locking disc) the projector. There is a friction lock that you can release that allows for fine adjustment, and if you have a projector with lens shift then it is very easy to get everything aligned. I hope this helps anyone looking and wondering about this product - I haven't seen a better wall bracket, it just needs a bit of care in the installation. Everyone who sees my cinema room thinks it looks like a really professional install (and of course the picture is amazing!!).

I have used this to wall mount an Epson TW6700. The projector fits fine, and feels secure, although there were some challenges getting the projector arm mounted onto the wall bracket. If you have the arm mounted near the top of the wall bracket, the black top cap will prevent you from clipping the arm in to place. Even when positioning lower down (as in the product picture), the black trip at the wall bracket end of the arm makes it difficult to clip the arm into the bracket - although it goes on quite easily without it in place. I eventually managed to get the arm attached with the black trip in place, although it took about 20 minutes and a bit of lost skin from my hands. I also broke one of the clips on the top cap in the process so that is not as firmly attached as it should be. The bracket certainly looks neat now it is in place, and I could not find a cheaper wall bracket that was stylish enough to put in the living room - the cheaper brackets had a lot of nuts and bolts on show and had an industrial look about them. I have read in other reviews some complaints about the instructions - they seemed well drawn to me and quite easy to follow - a copy of the installation leaflet is available on the Vogels website if you want to review it first.

I bought this for a BenQ W1070 projector, and I am very satisfied with it. The instructions are only visual (meaning I had to scratch my head a couple of times to get it), but not that complicated, similar to your average Ikea mounting instructions. The mounting components seem to allow for a very flexible configuration: if you are not sure about the compatibility of your projector, I'd say that if it has 3 or 4 screw threads on the same horizontal plan, with no other bit from the projector crossing that plan, I hardly see how it could not fit. I would not buy this if not for mounting it to a solid piece of wall. The depth of the holes is 80mm and I would definitely not trust anything not solid to hold this in place. Once fixed to the wall the whole thing does not move, and once fixed the support allows for a 20 degree fine-tuning in all horizontal axis, plus 360 degrees on the vertical axis. Releasing/thigtening up the mechanism is easy. Tried mounting the projector both ways (with the projector in the normal position and upside down), works equally. And it looks great (I think). No screw is visible once it's mounted.

Bought this item to mount my Optoma HD26 to the wall rather than the ceiling. After reading some reviews about the connection to the wall piece being problematic i was a little worried but continued anyway. After getting the item and having a look i realised the problematic connection was to do with the plasic trim internal ribs being about 1mm too long. This wouldnt allow the clip to engage properly without force (more than could safely be applied once mounted) i trimmed the ribs back a small amount which allows the plastic trim to sit better and i have a perfect connection with the cosmetic trim in place. Overall a solid mount that works great, instruction could be a little clearer but not that hard to work out.

Despite being touted as universal mount, it does not in any way fit the Optoma 1070x short throw projector. Instructions are worse than the indecipherable Chinglish, as you have no words... just indecipherable images. An update - Tried to remove my existing projector with the "easy click" system and now I have a broken projector and a massive hole in my ceiling. Seriously, if you buy this product, I despair for humanity.... Quite possibly the worst piece of crap I've ever allowed over my threshold I'm considering posting the hammer smashed pieces back to the manufacturer......

C’est du costaud. C’est vrai que la notice pourrait être plus explicite mais bon c’est pas chinois non plus.

Just great

He comprado el EPW 6565 para mi proyector Optoma HD33; se quedó perfecto. Las instrucciones podrían (deberían) ser mejores pero después de finalmente entender el sistema "click" del conector EPA6505 al EPW6560, todo ha ido fácil. La calidad del acabado, el design y la robustez son estupendos. Ps: perdonen mi español. Saludos, Marco

Ottimi i materiali, un pò difficile da montare perché ha un meccanismo tutto particolare. Bel effetto sul muro è elegante e permette di spostare il videoproiettore in verticale e un minimo anche in orizzontale molto utile se si sbaglia di pochi cm la misura

Läst recensioner att det är svårt att få på plats. Men den vridbara delen går att lossa lite,även om skruvarna inte är synliga i alla lägen. Släpper man lite på dessa skruvar är det inget problem att få något att passa sen. Men som andra har skrivit kunde manualen vara aningen bättre.
