Chief VCMU

Overview

The Chief VCMU is a heavy-duty universal projector mount designed to securely hold large LCD or CRT projectors weighing up to 250 lbs (113.4 kg). It features a universal HBU bracket that fits most projector models without requiring model-specific hardware. This mount allows precise roll, pitch, and yaw adjustments, making it easier to align the projector image perfectly even after installation. Its quick connect and disconnect mechanism enables convenient servicing such as lamp replacement or filter cleaning without losing alignment settings.

Built with welded steel for durability, the mount can be installed flush against the ceiling or paired with Chief extension columns for additional drop length. Internal cable management routes wiring through the top of the mount, keeping installations neat and unobtrusive in environments like classrooms, corporate boardrooms, retail spaces, auditoriums, and houses of worship.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
