Chief Site News

Chief has published a new version of MountBuilder with several exciting new enhancements.

Configuration Sharing
MountBuilder users can now share their configurations with other people by accessing the new 'Share Configuration' button on the final menu. This new feature saves a custom part configuration as a web link that users can copy and paste and post links to their own custom creations anywhere on the Internet. People can click the link to load the fully-assembled configuration into MountBuilder.

Download Specification Packet
MountBuilder can now assemble a "Spec Packet" containing all related, downloadable files for the parts in your configuration. Users can preview and select which files they would like to have included - such as product manuals, technical drawings, brochures, catalog pages, CAD drawings and more - and MountBuilder will automatically gather the files together and compress them into one, convenient .ZIP file archive for download. Now users have easy, one-click access to all available documentation and collateral for the parts in their configurations directly from within MountBuilder.

Custom Flat Panel Mounting Solutions
MountBuilder now has both Custom and Universal Mounts included in both the Ceiling and Wall modules.

Color Options for Wall Mounts
Wall mount parts that are available in multiple colors will now display their proper color designation.

Enhanced Part Removal and Replacement
Now users can quickly and easily remove or replace parts in their configurations while building just by clicking on the 'Remove Part' button in their parts list.

Product Detail Links
Clicking on a part name from within MountBuilder's part menus will now open the product detail page on the Chief website to provide more detailed information about a specific part.

Accessory Depth Calculations
Storage boxes and rotational accessories now have their depths added to the total configuration depth calculation.

These are just a few of the new features. To see more for yourself, try out the new MountBuilder today at http://www.mountbuilder.com!

Chief added a new Fusion Series Flat Panel Mounts Video to the Videos & Animations page.

Fusion is designed to solve common installation problems for the professional installer. The low-profile, universal mounting system provides a progressive collection of features, focusing on usability and speed of installation.

Chief has added two new installation videos to the recently updated videos & animations page. 

The first video showcases the KCG110 Monitor Desk Mount.  The KCG110 dual arm mount provides a broad range of motion for viewing displays from multiple angles and heights, and is easy to install. 

The second video highlights the features of Chief's new series of Thinstall Mounts.  The Thinstall Series is designed to complement the low profile of the new ultra-thin flat panel TVs with the lowest profile mounts on the market.

Chief has improved the usability and functionality of MountFinder search results. The newly designed filtering system allows you to change multiple filters simultaneously and then search to find the exact mount types you're interested in. The products listed in the returned results now have links to printer friendly pages, larger images, downloads, and videos (if available). Finally, simplified controls for navigating the results pages have been added at the bottom of the page.

Chief updated the Markets pages on the website to provide information on how Chief products are being used across a range of different markets and applications.  The new Market pages provide links to videos, literature, and product mixes that are targeted to each individual market.

The new mobile site provides a simplified user interface formatted specifically for mobile devices.

Users can access http://m.chiefmfg.com and get a cleaner version of the Chief website that is formatted specifically for mobile phones and wireless devices. Now you can get all of the information you need about Chief products while you are on the go.

The new mobile site has a simplified user interface that runs faster on a mobile browser. Full product information including product features, specifications and downloads are available. In addition, users can get the same great search functionality, and even use Chief's MountFinder™ to quickly cross-reference manufacturer models with Chief mounts, all from a hand-held device.

Chief updated the Downloads Library to make the interface cleaner and easier to use.  Product downloads in the downloads library and on product pages now have icons to clarify their file type.

Chief added a new mount category for Wall Track Systems to the left navigation bar for workstation products including the KWT All-In-One Workstation.

Chief added a new product video for the CM4 Automated Speaker Mount.  You can watch the CM4 video here or download a high quality Windows Media or QuickTime file to view anytime.

The 2008 - 2009 version of the Chief Full-Line Catalog is now available for download. The new catalog features a cleaner look, brighter photos, and better-organized product information for a quick read. Download the Chief Catalog PDF.
