just a eye hole screw into the stud. Then uses the mounting brackings the inline came with and hang with string. I just black straps, those for sleeping bags and such. They are strong and black.

lol really thats a good enough idea ... hang a pair of eye lags into the studs and hang the fan via some shoelaces or any other string / twine that will hold its weight. and by using something like a shoelace or twine the vibration isnt transfered to the ceiling making it a lot quieter than hard mounting it with clamps or solid straps

dont want a fan falling and starting a fire serious stuff here, id say even secure a piece of wood to your ceiling first with nails and screws then put some hooks into actual ceiling through that wood for double safety and always double up on ropes. two seperate ropes or chains for each device. imagine your place burning up for not wasting that extra few bucks
