Chief Lateral Shift Bracket for RPA Series Projector Mounts

Overview

The Chief LSB100 is a lateral shift bracket designed specifically for RPA Series projector mounts, enabling precise side-to-side positioning of your projector after installation. It allows the projector lens to slide up to 3 inches left or right, simplifying alignment with the screen even when the mounting point is off-center. For projectors weighing less than 15 pounds, it offers an additional 2 ¼ inches of travel, totaling 5 ¼ inches of lateral adjustment to help achieve a perfectly centered image without keystone correction.

This bracket supports LCD and DLP projectors up to 50 pounds and installs between the mount and projector plate without adding significant height, maintaining a low profile that fits well above drop ceilings. Its black finish complements most RPA mounts, making it a seamless addition to your AV setup.
