The Chief Elite 15 cm Pack is a comprehensive and versatile mounting solution for projectors, designed to provide a professional and secure installation. This kit includes three essential components: the 152 mm CMS006 extension column, the CMS115 ceiling plate, and the RPMAU Elite mounting bracket. Together, these components form a robust and adjustable system, capable of accommodating most projectors and ceiling configurations.
The CMS006 extension column is the core of this Elite pack. With its length of 152 mm (15.2 cm), it provides an ideal extension for most standard installations. Made of aluminum, this column combines lightness and strength, capable of supporting an impressive load of up to 226.8 kg. Its tubular design allows for discreet cable management, contributing to a clean and professional installation.
The CMS006 features a standard 1.5-inch (3.81 cm) thread at each end, ensuring optimal compatibility with other system components. This standardization not only simplifies the initial installation but also facilitates future modifications or upgrades to your setup.
The CMS115 ceiling plate is designed to adapt to a variety of ceiling structures. With its compact dimensions of 165 x 165 mm, it offers a discreet footprint while ensuring a solid attachment. The plate is made of durable steel, guaranteeing long-term reliability and a high load capacity.
The CMS115 incorporates an ingenious cable management system, allowing wires to pass directly through the plate for a cleaner and more secure installation. Additionally, its universal design makes it compatible with a wide range of Chief extension tubes, providing increased flexibility for installations requiring different lengths.
The RPMAU Elite mounting bracket is the final component of this pack, and it does not disappoint. Designed to accommodate most projectors on the market, it offers a maximum load capacity of 22.7 kg. What truly sets the RPMAU Elite apart is its precise adjustment system and secure locking technology.
The mount features Chief’s Centris technology, enabling effortless positioning of the projector. Adjustments can be made literally with the touch of a finger, with independent settings for roll (±3°), pitch (±20°), and yaw (360°). This flexibility ensures perfect image alignment, regardless of the room configuration.
Chief’s exclusive Q-Lock locking system adds an extra layer of security, effectively protecting your equipment against theft or unauthorized tampering. Additionally, the mount allows for quick disconnection of the projector for maintenance without losing the previously made adjustments.
One of the highlights of this Elite pack is its ease of installation and extensive compatibility. The three components are designed to assemble intuitively, significantly reducing installation time. The universal mounting system of the RPMAU Elite fits most projectors, while the CMS115 plate is suitable for almost all types of ceilings.
Integrated cable management in each component ensures a clean and professional installation, effectively hiding unsightly wires. This attention to detail not only enhances the aesthetic of the setup but also contributes to the system’s longevity and safety by protecting cables from potential damage.
Chief has emphasized durability and security in the design of this Elite pack. All components are made from high-quality materials, designed to withstand intensive long-term use. TÜV and UL certifications attest to compliance with the highest safety standards.
The Q-Lock locking system of the RPMAU Elite mount provides additional protection against theft, a crucial aspect for installations in public or semi-public spaces. Furthermore, the high load capacity of each component ensures a comfortable safety margin, even for the heaviest projectors.
While the RPMAU Elite mount has a capacity of 22.7 kg, the CMS006 column can support up to 226.8 kg. Therefore, the system’s maximum load is determined by the weakest component, which is 22.7 kg in this case.
The standard pack is not designed for sloped ceilings. However, Chief offers specific adapters, such as the CMA395, which can be used in conjunction with this pack to accommodate sloped ceilings.
The RPMAU Elite mount is designed to fit 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.
While the system is designed for relatively simple installation, it is recommended to hire a professional, especially if you lack experience in this area. Incorrect installation could compromise the safety of your equipment and the people in the room.
Yes, this is one of the strengths of the RPMAU Elite mount. It offers precise adjustments for roll, pitch, and yaw, allowing for perfect image alignment even after the initial installation.

I haven't mounted it on my projector (VW590ES) yet because my dedicated room is under renovation, but I still pre-mounted it to check the quality, and while it's expensive, it's top-notch for fine-tuning your setup! Go for it!
