Upgraded Projector Mounts
Mounting solutions vendor Chief Manufacturing has launched the RPA Elite series of universal
and custom projector mounts. New features include: MicroZone adjustments,
which allow fast and precise independent micro-adjustment of roll, pitch, and yaw with
the use of a No. 2 screwdriver; macro adjustments with Centris technology, which uses the center of
gravity to adjust a projector in easy, fluid movements with just the touch of a finger; and the Q-Lock integrated security
system, a lockable lever that allows quick detachment of the projector from the mount for regular maintenance—without
losing registration. MSRP: $229; $249 with Q-Lock.
