I would hit up eBay and pick up a Chief RPMAU and then go to Home Depot/Lowes and pick up a 1.5" metal plumbing flange and a piece of pipe that is the length you need to drop it from the ceiling. You can get it from a couple of inches to 10 feet or longer if you needed it (you don't). A quality mount allows for placement at any height you desire, it allows for flexibility in placement, and it allows for very fine tuning of the projector for exact alignment with the screen.
The RPMAU often costs $200 new, but they come up on eBay for $100 fairly often.

Plus, they will work with about every projector out there.
