The Chief Mini Elite Custom Projector Mount – Lock A – Black delivers professional-grade ceiling mounting performance in a compact, space-saving package. Designed for smaller projector models, this miniature version of the revered RPA Elite line preserves the same reliability, adjustability, and secure installation you expect from Chief, but in almost half the size. Perfect for classrooms, boardrooms, small home theaters, and compact digital signage setups, it combines a sleek black finish with robust construction to keep your projector securely in place while maintaining a clean, unobtrusive aesthetic. If you need a ceiling mount that doesn’t dominate your room but still offers the dependable, feature-rich experience of Chief’s elite systems, the Mini Elite Lock A variant is engineered to deliver.

  • Compact, feature-rich design:This Mini Elite is a precise, miniaturized version of the RPA Elite mounts, packing the same core capabilities into a smaller footprint. It supports secure attachment and reliable operation for smaller projectors, making it ideal when ceiling height, space, or cable management concerns require a slimmer solution without sacrificing performance. The design mirrors Chief’s renowned engineering, ensuring smooth movement, balanced load distribution, and predictable, repeatable projection alignment even in tight spaces.
  • Lock A stability for dependable placement:The Lock A variant emphasizes secure locking and steadfast positioning. In environments where a projector may be subject to gentle bumps, vibrations, or frequent adjustment, this mount maintains its hold, preserving image alignment and reducing the need for recalibration. The result is a more productive setup where users can move confidently between presentations or media displays with minimal disruption.
  • Adjustability for maximum productivity:Despite its compact size, the Mini Elite retains essential adjustability to align the image precisely on the screen or wall. Users benefit from smooth tilt and swivel capabilities and an easy-to-manage adjustment range that accommodates different seating areas, room layouts, and seating distances. The adjustable mechanism supports quick fine-tuning during installation and simple re-aiming if room configurations change, helping maintain optimal viewing angles with less effort.
  • Designed for smaller projector models with robust compatibility:The mount is specifically optimized for smaller projector units, delivering a secure, vibration-resistant anchor that keeps the projection steady. It accommodates common, space-efficient installations where a larger ceiling mount would be impractical. While tailored to smaller models, it maintains professional-grade stability and aligns with Chief’s standard of durability and reliability, ensuring long-term performance in educational spaces, offices, or home theaters.
  • Easy installation and cable management for a clean setup:Engineering simplicity and thoughtful cable routing help create a tidy installation. The Mini Elite promotes straightforward mounting to a ceiling surface, minimal hardware handling, and clean cable runs, reducing installation time and the chance of stray cabling. The result is a professional-looking setup with a secure, neat presentation that stays out of the way while keeping cables organized and accessible for maintenance or upgrades.

How to install Chief Mini Elite Custom Projector Mount - Lock A - Black

Step 1 — Plan and locate mounting points: Before mounting, determine the ideal ceiling location based on your room layout and screen position. Use a stud finder to identify joists or rafters, ensuring you have solid anchor points that can support the projector’s weight. If joists aren’t available where you want to mount, select appropriate ceiling anchors rated for the load and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for installation in drywall or plaster.

Step 2 — Attach the mounting plate to the ceiling: Secure the mounting plate or adapter with the provided hardware to the ceiling. Ensure the plate sits flat and rolls into level alignment with the screen. Use a spirit level during installation to verify horizontal alignment. Tighten all fasteners securely, but avoid over-tightening, which could distort mounting holes or damage the ceiling material.

Step 3 — Attach the projector bracket to the mount: Connect the projector bracket to the mounting arm or plate according to the included instructions. Verify that the bracket is centered and that the mounting screws are tightened to specification. If your projector uses a VESA compatibility pattern, align it with the bracket’s mounting holes and secure with the appropriate screws. Double-check that the bracket can support the projector’s weight without strain on any single fastener.

Step 4 — Mount the projector assembly and level the unit: Lift the projector and attach it to the bracket, ensuring the weight is evenly distributed. Use the mount’s tilt and swivel adjustments to align the image with your screen. Check both vertical and horizontal balance and adjust as needed to achieve a straight, level image. A small bubble level can assist with precise alignment, and tabletop alignment can help you visualize the final setup before tightening locks.

Step 5 — Manage cabling and finalize alignment: Route power, HDMI, and any control cables through provided channels or cable management paths to maintain a clean appearance. Keep cables away from moving parts or any pinch points. After the cables are secured, run a quick image test to confirm keystone correction, focus, and brightness. Make any minor adjustments to tilt, roll, or focus for optimal image quality and keep the mounting hardware snug to prevent drift over time.

Step 6 — Safety check and maintenance: Perform a final safety check by gently applying slight pressure to the projector to ensure it is firmly seated and all fasteners remain tight. Periodically inspect mounting hardware and re-tighten if necessary, especially after rearranging room furniture or cables. This routine maintenance helps maintain image stability and protects your investment over the life of the installation.

Don't waste your money - these people will not help you
On March 9th 2024, I purchased a MCombo Lift Chair costing $785. On the same day, through the same Amazon account (my PERSONAL account since I also have a business account), I purchased an Asurion Complete Protect policy at the cost of $16.99 per month plus taxes. About one month ago, a problem arose with the chair that required me to make a claim using the "Complete Protect" policy that I had purchased for that very item. The claim was initiated on January 1st, 2025 - On January 3rd, I received an email asking me for photographs showing the damage for which I was making a claim. I sent those photographs via email to the address provided on January 6th. On January 27th, having not received ANY response from Asurion, I contacted them via phone and was told that my purchase had been made with a business account, that it was being used for business purposes, and was therefore not covered. I assured the Asurion Representative that it was most certainly not a business use, and that the chair that I was claiming for had been purchased because I had extensive shoulder surgery done that made it impossible to get in and out of bed. After speaking (unsuccessfully) with the Asurion Rep, I then contacted Amazon Customer Service. I spoke with an Amazon Customer Service Representative on the phone who confirmed that I had in fact used my personal account to purchase the chair and the Asurion Complete Protect policy. That representative went on to send a message to Asurion on my behalf confirming that the purchase was for personal use and not business use. Asurion responded, asking me to call them with the order number for the Asurion purchase. The number I gave was the exact same order number on my order history, however, the Asurion Rep could not find it. I was finally able to discover that the order number in Asurion's system was entirely different and isn't even in the same format as an Amazon order number. Upon the Asurion representative finding my plan, she informed me that the chair was listed as being purchased for business use (despite Amazon confirming that it was NOT) but that I should give them "a couple of business days" to resolve the issue. Five business days later, still no response and so I called them again (Yesterday - February 1st 2025)... Lo and behold, I got the same crap yet again... the purchase was listed as business use and was therefore being denied, but she promised to remove the business use commentary and put the claim through again. Today, February 2nd, I called Amazon yet again to escalate and had to call THREE times because the first two calls resulted in me finally being connected to an Asurion representative (two different reps) and each time, the Asurion representative hung up the phone as soon as my name was mentioned. It has become clear to me that the Asurion "Complete Protect" policy is a SCAM - they will NOT take care of your issue, regardless of how long you've been paying. I have been paying every month since March 9th last year - so they've received over $170 from me thus far, with zero other claims, and if I am able to cancel right now, I will only receive $16.99 back. All I want, is the chair that I purchased the policy for coverage of, to be repaired or replaced. Asurion are NOT helping, and are actively avoiding contact. At this point, I am considering legal action against Asurion for fraud - perhaps even a Class Action. I'll wait and see if my issue gets resolved within the next 10 days or so.

Asurion is AWESOME!
Ok, so let me start with the fact that you should NOT waste your time calling Amazon's customer service if you think you have a claim under Asurion's monthly protection plan. CALL ASURION! I wasted almost an hour with Amazon representatives that have absolutely no training in how the Asurion plan works, or even any idea if my item was covered. In fact, they told me the mechanized chair I purchased under the plan wasn't covered! Finally, my call got escalated to a manager who was just as clueless about my coverage, but had the best idea ever... call Asurion! The smartest thing I did that morning was hang up with Amazon, and reach out to Asurion as I should have done in the first place. Dealing with Asurion's customer service, after my Amazon call, was like being elevated to VIP status! 😄 Asurion's rep nicely took all my info, including the chair's purchase date and order number. Then they asked that I upload a couple of pictures of the product, along with a written description of the malfunction I had mentioned over the phone. This is where it gets really good. They told me they'd review the claim to determine if they'd send a repair specialist or reimburse me the cost of the item. In less than 48 hours, they determined that a payout was in order, and sent me an email that included an Amazon gift card for the total cost of the item minus the taxes I had paid, which I loaded directly into my Amazon wallet. Apparently, Asurion does not include the purchase taxes in their coverage. But, I can live with that. All in all, Asurion's claims division get a double thumbs up 👍🏽👍🏽, and the company gets big ups from me for not only standing behind their protection plan, but doing so expeditiously! Special note: If you buy a lot of stuff from Amazon, and have Asurion's monthly protection plan, scroll the item listing before pulling the trigger on your purchase... you need to see the green streamer that indicates your product is protected by the plan. If you don't see that, check to see if there are alternative products that might be covered. There are very few electronic or high ticket items that aren't covered, but looking for that green banner in the item description that says it's covered is key to foregoing any future headaches.

If they can't fix it they will replace it.
This protection plan that i pay monthly for paid for itself ten fold. My 3D printer just quit working and after the manufacturer warrenty had ran out at that. I submitted my claim they emailed me a shipping label in which I shipped out my printer that same day. Two days later they received my printer determined it couldc not be fixed and sent me a Amazon gift card for the full price of my printer. Today I will be receiving my new 3d printer thanks to Complete Protect. I highly recommend anyone and everyone to purchase this policy. This warrenty is like having a home warrenty like Homeshield but for your electronics and probably other stuff that i just have not read to see what else. This insurance will save me so much money over the corse of this year and every year after that. Thank you Complete Protect.

"Outstanding support and a seamless process!"
Great experience with Asurion insurance through Amazon. I wasn't sure how to register my items for the monthly plan, but the customer support team in the chat was incredibly efficient and guided me through the entire paperwork process smoothly. Furthermore, the service I received at the repair shop (Break Fix) was excellent. The whole process was seamless, and I received my digital gift card without any issues, which I’ve already applied to my Amazon account. I am very grateful for their professionalism and how easy they made everything. Highly recommended!"

Received giftcard money to replace my plan-protected malfunctioning motherboard
I've been subscribing to the Asurion protection plan for a while. Recently, an Asus Prime PC motherboard I had bought a few months ago on Amazon stopped working well. I ended up considering filing a claim with Asurion to see if they would either fix/replace it or issue the purchase price money, so I could buy the failed electronics replacement component again for my custom-built PC. I went to the protection plan's website and started the claim filing process but couldn't find the category my failed component would be under in order to select it from the drop-down list. I ended up messaging the live customer service. The chat messaging was somewhat slow, the agent told me they were experiencing some communication delays throughout their systems. Ultimately, the agent was very kind and understanding, and completed the claim filing process for me on her side by asking me to provide the necessary info such as the item's product name, date of purchase, price before taxes, etc. I received a printable UPS shipping label in the email, printed it, and returned the item in the mail. Approximately 2 days later, I received an Amazon giftcard code in the email with the dollar amount equal to the item's price before the sales tax. Then I redeemed the giftcard code on the Amazon page and proceeded to apply the giftcard money to my next purchase of a replacement Asus prime motherboard, and it all worked out successfully. Therefore, I had no issues with the protection plan service and recommend it to others.
