Features
Premier Mounts’ universal short-throw projector arm (UNI/UNIE) is one of the most exible and installer-friendly short-
throw arms on the market. It adjusts from 7” to 27” [up to 67” from the wall when used with an arm extension (UNIE)].
To make installatins even easier, an array of mounting points at the top and bottom of the GearBox™ allows you to
mount the UNI/UNIE off-center from the whiteboard/screen, if needed. The UNI/UNIE mounts to a single stud or dual
studs at 16”, 18” or 24” spacing, and includes a Fine-Tune Projector (FTP), PDS or SpiroLock™ projector mount.
