Accessories for a Total Solution
By: Karen Mefford, Marketing Manager
Are you looking for cool and innovative ways to enhance your installations? Do you need to solve some major installation headaches like projector vibration? Or maybe you're just looking to simplify your life. In any case, Chief's full line of supporting accessories can help – and possibly give you a whole new perspective on how easy it is to overcome some of these installation dilemmas.
The first step is education. You ask yourself, "How can I fix projector vibration?" or "How do I future-proof my installation so that it's flexible for future technology advancements?" Maybe you have a concern about security or mounting to truss ceiling structures. Whatever the case may be, look to Chief to find the answers.
Where to look? Chief's website is a comprehensive place to look for answers to installation dilemmas. A keyword search, located at the top of the Chief home page, will allow you to type in specific word phrases, without knowing a particular part number. You can also get popular accessory recommendations on any product page. Our full line catalog is available on the Downloads page, and includes an accessories section at the end of each product section.
Perhaps the most mind-blowing tool Chief has to offer is the all-new MountBuilder. MountBuilder is the industry's first online product configurator for building and specifying mounting solutions. At first glance, it might look and sound like a bunch of marketing hype. But really, this is a seriously cool tool that has been in development for the past eight months, and will most definitely simplify your life. The tool walks you through a series of logical steps for building a ceiling mount configuration. As you make selections from the list, the configuration visually builds in front of you in the center window (ooh, ahh). And if that's not cool enough, the tool auto-calculates drop distances and weight capacities so you don't have to. How about that?! Oh, not done yet, the tool also builds a parts list that can be emailed or printed for bid requests or to add to proposals. Whew! Done now. But if it doesn't sound like the next best thing since they sliced the bread before packaging it, then you should give it a whirl at http://www.mountbuilder.com. More products to be added soon, including flat panel TV mounts and accessories.
Oh, and to answer your question (or was that my question?) on projector vibration, use Chief's CMA347 Vibration Isolator Inline Adapter. Works like a charm!
