The Chief RPA Series ceiling mounts provide a unique, sim-
plified method of ceiling mounting inverted LCD/DLP pro-
jectors. Chief’s low profile design offers three easy 
mounting methods (1 1/2”NPT, flush or threaded rod); roll, 
pitch and yaw adjustment; a cable management system; 
and custom designed brackets that allow quick projector 
disconnect without loss of registration.

All Chief RPA Series ceiling mounts provide access for 
quick lamp changes and easy filter cleaning without requir-
ing any disassembly. The mount is constructed of heavy 
gauge steel and designed to ensure proper projector venti-
lation.

Fast and precise image registration is achieved through the 
easy roll, pitch and yaw adjustments built into the RPA 
mounts. Optional projector security is included by using the 
All-Points

 Security kit
