If anybody is actually interested in this projector, I've added my experience in this reply. I've included why I liked it, what worked for me, what didn't, additional installation tips, as well as images of my mounted projector. Hopefully it helps at least a few folks!

If you needed this today, awesome lucky you it's marginally on sale.
But if not, is saving $0.55 worth hoarding this on a shelf until you figure out what to do with it?
This has been posted before.
I can not understand how this is a +24TU deal.
it was $4.78 a few weeks ago and that got 9TU also.

For $5 it functions - it hangs your projector safely from the ceiling.
That said, my complaints are
-It is a bit wobbly / very easy for vibrations like walking and whatnot to cause the projector to shake
-It mounts the projector quite far from the ceiling leaving it much lower than I would have liked.
Overall for $5 though it'll function to mount a projector. I'll upgrade when circumstances allow and/or I'm driven insane by the shaking picture when people walk on the floor above my basement.
Pros:
- Extremely sturdy (comes with two big screws for mounting into the studs and my god is it sturdy)
- Easily holds my Epson (~7.5lbs)
- Tilt +- 15 is a great feature, but also a curse (more on this below)
- Rotates full 360 which some people may need if they need to side mount it.
- Installation instructions are actually pretty good.
- They give you the screws and bolts for pretty much every size projector you need...so you'll be left with lots of extras.
- The mount hangs 5.5" from the ceiling, and with my projector it hands about 9.5" from the ceiling which isn't that much. Just the right distance but also enough clearance in case you need to access anything.
Cons:
- This one is on Epson - I didn't realize (most) their models don't have the four holes on four corners which would have made my life easier. It has a weird triangular mount design - two holes in the front of projector (one of each side), and one slightly off to the center. More in the tips section...
- I spent the better part of my evening on this as I didn't have the right tools from the get go.
- Lot of little parts that need organization
- Definitely not the mount if you need to constantly remove your projector from position.
- Not prone to vibration movement but if you need to touch it for changing settings, zoom etc, projector position does move a little. Not a deal breaker by any means as you can easily readjust to original position...it's sturdy enough for that.
Installation tips if you decide to buy it.
- Firstly, follow the instructions in the manual - I thought they were pretty good
- For the BIG screws that go into the stud, I recommend using a 7/32 size drill bit and drilling all the way through....I started with smaller ones but my screw kept getting stuck. It was a pain to remove every time and redrill it. At one point, the screw wouldn't lock into the driver bit anymore as I had worn it out, so I had to use a wrench bit to remove it. You'll save yourself a lot of trouble if you know this is the bit that gets you the best results.
- The install happens in two parts - the mount on the ceiling, and the wings on to the projector and then you latch the projector on to the ceiling mount
- Make sure you tighten the ceiling mount screws well before putting the projector on it. If not, your tilt gets messed up. For this step, it's better to have an extra set of hands. This was especially critical for me as my my Epson didn't have mount holes on four corners.
- I had to get a little creative for the mount wings to lock my projector as I had my mount holes in a triangle shape (see attached images). I decided I would get the best balance if the spiral disk was not slam bang in the middle of the projector but toward the back half of the projector. The front two holes locked easily but for the middle one, I removed the slider and only used the base wing. I needed this to be short. This step is one where I predict everyone will do it differently, but you CAN get it mounted.
- I had a little trouble with the tilt after the set-up was complete. In fact, I thought I may have to return it or figure a plan B. But as I backtracked each of the screws and tightened them, I was able to get the perfect angle that I wanted. It would help to have dedicated size philips-head screwdrivers than using driver bits here as you get better leverage to tighten.
Hopefully, this helps you all!!

I'm not a pro on the different mounts available in the market. A quick amazon search on low profile mounts told me these can hang anywhere between to 3" - 5" from the ceiling (this mount is high end of that spectrum).
However, with my experience of actually mounting my projector using this mount, I would say any slimmer than 5" would have actually made it more difficult to get in there and mount the screws...so I was happy that it was as long as it was.

I concur with all this as I bought the black one and highly impress. It feels like it's worth $30-$50 quality, you might have to DIY some brackets yourself. My projector has 3 bolts so mine is highly DIY but works flawlessly . For $5 you can buy it to mount other things for fun lol
