The Chief Elite 7 cm Pack is a complete and versatile solution for ceiling-mounted projector installations. This kit includes three essential components: the CMS003 extension column, the CMS115 ceiling plate, and the RPMAU Elite mounting bracket. Together, these components provide a robust and adjustable solution for professional projector installation.
The CMS003 extension column is the central element of this pack. With its length of 76 mm, it offers an ideal extension for most standard installations. Made of aluminum, this column combines lightness and strength, supporting an impressive load of up to 227 kg. Its 38 mm diameter and 1.5-inch NPT threading ensure optimal compatibility with numerous Chief accessories.
One of the major advantages of the CMS003 is its versatility. It can be used alone or combined with other Chief columns to achieve the desired height. This flexibility allows the installation to adapt to virtually any ceiling configuration, whether it’s a low ceiling in an office or a high ceiling in an auditorium.
The CMS115 ceiling plate is designed to provide a solid base for your installation. Made of high-quality aluminum, it combines lightness and durability. Its dimensions of 127 x 127 x 17.5 mm make it suitable for most ceiling configurations, including suspended ceilings.
One of the key strengths of the CMS115 is its impressive load capacity of 226.8 kg, ensuring secure mounting even for the heaviest projectors. The plate is equipped with four anchor points for optimal weight distribution and increased stability.
The CMS115 also features a cable management system, allowing cables to pass through the plate for a clean and professional installation. This feature is particularly appreciated in environments where aesthetics are paramount, such as high-end conference rooms or home theaters.
The RPMAU Elite mounting bracket is the most sophisticated component of the pack. It is a universal mount capable of accommodating most projectors on the market, with a load capacity of up to 22.7 kg.
What sets the RPMAU Elite apart is its micro-adjustment technology. It offers precise adjustments on three axes: tilt (±20°), roll (±10°), and yaw (360°). These adjustments can be made tool-free, simply with your fingertips, thanks to Chief’s Centris technology. This feature is particularly useful during initial installation as well as for later adjustments, ensuring a perfectly aligned image with minimal effort.
The RPMAU Elite also includes a Q-Lock quick-release system. This feature allows the projector to be easily removed for maintenance or lamp replacement without losing the previously made adjustments. A locking mechanism secures the installation, providing theft protection.
The combination of these three components in the white Elite 7 cm Pack creates remarkable synergy. The CMS003 column provides the necessary extension, the CMS115 plate ensures secure ceiling mounting, while the RPMAU Elite mount allows fine adjustments for the projector.
This combination meets most installation needs, whether in a professional or domestic environment. The system’s flexibility allows it to adapt to different types of ceilings and projectors, while the multiple adjustment options ensure a perfectly aligned image.
The pack also offers an elegant solution for cable management. Cables can be routed through the column and ceiling plate, ensuring a clean and professional installation. This feature is particularly appreciated in environments where aesthetics are important.
One of the strengths of this pack is its ease of installation. Each component is designed to assemble easily, with connections secured by tightening screws. This modular approach not only allows for quick initial installation but also facilitates later modifications if needed.
For professional installers, this pack represents an all-in-one solution suitable for most standard projects. It reduces installation time and simplifies inventory management by offering a versatile solution.
For DIY enthusiasts with basic skills, the pack provides a professional-quality installation option. The clear instructions and intuitive design of the components make the process accessible, even for those with no prior experience in projector installation.
The RPMAU Elite mount included in this pack is designed to be universal and compatible with most projectors on the market. However, it is always recommended to check your projector’s specifications, particularly its weight and mounting points, to ensure compatibility.
The standard pack is designed for installation on a flat ceiling. For installation on a sloped ceiling, you will need an additional adapter, such as the CMA-395, sold separately.
Yes, the 76 mm CMS003 column included in this pack can be replaced or combined with other Chief columns of different lengths to achieve the desired extension.
The pack includes the hardware needed to assemble the various components. However, screws and anchors for ceiling mounting are generally not included, as they depend on the type of ceiling where the installation will be performed.
The RPMAU Elite mount includes a Q-Lock locking system that provides theft protection. Additionally, you can add an extra security cable (not included) for enhanced protection.

Sufficient without the other two elements that extend the whole, mounted directly to the ceiling when it's not very high for a distance of about 7 cm, practical because it can be oriented in all directions!

Superb equipment that admittedly costs a bit, but does its job admirably.
The setup takes a little while, but the end result is well worth the effort!
