i have a similar problem
but couldn't this by solved by the approach at the following link: http://www.vibrationmounts.com/RFQ/VM08003.htm

For the isolation material couldn't one use memory foam or simplily foam rubber? Then do the entire job where the mount attachs to the ceiling?

oh yah, the material in the link was needing 20-120 psi i believe, guessing none of our projectors are getting into that range

my rational for this approach was that I could then focus the isolation to the contact point between the mount and the projector making a very easy retrofit

i'm guessing that lots of people have this issue and i can only find a couple commerical solutions, cheif as a mount that does it ($250) and there was another solution which did it via a mounting solution to the joist ($60). My guess is that there is a way to solve this problem without adding something unsightly to the ceiling or costing a couple hundred $'s
