See im putting mine in the Living room, but its coming from our high-speed Gaming computer. I have to tweek the Resolution on the computer I found out, and a Certain Distance I found, away from the Screen. I tried to Eyeball it... No Sir. U gotta get the Specs, and measure for that Ceiling Bracket. Cuz theres a certain area that you want your Lens to line up with on the Screen, and the Distance away that is calculated by the Dimensions of the Screen. So yal Cant eyeball it. Lol.

Hi there, Great video. Quick question, what tool did you use for the screws that you put into the ceiling for attaching the ceiling bracket too. And what type of screws are they?

hey there, would you use the following for a ceiling that could be hollow or could have joists. www.bunnings.com.au/ramset-m5-x-9mm-hollow-wall-anchor-10-pack_p2260116 or www.bunnings.com.au/ramset-wallmate-plasterboard-anchor-with-screws-and-hooks-4-pack_p2261042 to hang the projector? thanks so much

@CarlStreet6 жыл бұрын
I think you tip about placing the bracket at the center of gravity as opposed to the center of the projector is extremely valuable. After all, the center of balance is almost certainly NOT the center of the device because the weight of the various internal components is unlikely to be evenly distributed. I am always amazed at the number of small details that I fail to consider because I am just a layman. Thank you!

Good solid advice for this budget projector. A £10 one is just a bit of metal , a £100 mount is one that has fine adjustments to get the best alignment and can take a far greater weight so bear that in mind when buying. Get what’s fit for purpose depending on what level of projector you have chosen.

Solid work, I have been a home theater installer for about 7 years. At my current company I am the only person who uses anchors to mount projos and tvs they all think im crazy but they just haven't done the research.. I typically use Hilti Toggle anchors which hold up to 124lb a piece and hang 85" tvs with them never had an issue. A lot of people think you need a stud and thats just not the case unless its a full motion articulating mount.

Nice video. Although sheetrock anchors are strong, for something this expensive, you really should find a joist to make sure at least 2 of the screws are secured. Over time, downward forces and shaking from your home theater subwoofer will weaken the hold of the anchors over time. :-)

Two long bits of string that are the same length attached to the corners of the screen and pulled tight will give you the exact centre of the screen on the ceiling. If you mark the location and then slide your fingers along the strings (keeping them equal and together) mark again and join the points you have a straight line perpendicular to the screen. Helpful if your room isn’t square...
@apostasiaelegcho561210 ай бұрын
Or, place the end of a flashlight flush against the opposite wall, move the flashlight along the wall until it aligns with the center of the screen which is on the other wall, and that's your lens center, regardless whether the room is square or not. Takes less than one minute to do.
