Similar to what I'm using: BenQ W1050 Projector: amzn.to/2tqXtn6 (UK) Luxburg 90" Motorised Projector Screen: amzn.to/2K8eflF (UK) BenQ HT2050A Projector: amzn.to/2MPrd6m (US) Homegear 100" Motorized Projector Screen: amzn.to/2lr1c0p (US) I've also added a full article to go with this video here, hopefully you'll find it a useful addition: gosforthhandyman.com/2017/05/installing-a-projector-on-a-ceiling/ (the above are affiliate links)

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!

I just spent 44 minutes of my time with you. Well spent time... I'll be tackling a similar job at home in the morning and feel *much* better prepared. Much thanks!

I bought a £13 projector mount from amazon and used your video as a guideline, it took me over an hour to put it up by being as careful as possible 😃good video mate cheers 😃

As someone with no DIY skills this video was very helpful. Thanks

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.

This is a great help, thanks so much for doing a full, unedited version. I'm turning a solarium/conservatory (not ideal...) into a home cinema setup and this has answered pretty much all the questions I had. Cheers!

Nice video, and relaxing music. It helped that the music was not annoying or distracting and I loved the selection. Also, thanks for the thoroughness that you went to in showing us this installation.

I love BenQ, had a W1070 years ago, upgraded to the BenQ TK800M. 👌🏼

You skipped the part of hiding the power and hdmi cable..

Liked this video. I've just purchaed the same mount and screen myself and will be installing them as soon as the screen arrives! I did enjoy the mistake, at least you only made one...I predict I will make more!

Perfect for my studio apartment! I hate bit tv’s, this is a great alternative, and exactly what I wanted!!

Thanks Andy, I find an hammer to work just as well as an all singing and dancing setting tool ;-)

8:28 You wouldn't believe how many home theaters I've seen over the years, that were mounted with the projector's bracket dead center of the screen, which of course places the lens off center (unless the projector's lens happens to be centered in it's housing, which many are not).

I love that ASMR ladder noise.

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...

Guy: it will take about 15 minutes **: 45 minute video😂

Thanks for the tips for installing a projector.

I need to send 4k video to a ceiling mount projector from my receiver. Its a 15m distance. I will probably use a fibre optic HDMI cable. Expensive, but less equipment needed.

Awesome video. My big question is what I am going to do with the cables once mounted. I have a powerbridge I could fish through the wall, however, as this is rental property thinking it might be best to use cablemate.

Oh, how a laser level will come in so handy!

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. :-)

Thank you for the full video

thank you for your tips ! i'm just gonna doign a similar job in my house and got some doubt about the fixation in the celling ! :)

Easy if you have keystone correction on your projector to trim out any slight mounting inaccuracies. It's an absolute pig of a job mounting a projector that has nothing but a little vertical lens shift.

All good but the hardest part is the wiring to and from the projector!!

Nice Mr. More or less Thank you ❤️

That bloody music sent me to sleep... Literally. I fell asleep. Had to re watch in the morning..

I"m DIYing my home studio/theater. Should I add any other wire besides HDMI ? I don't have a projector yet but will probably be lower end consumer range. Also - given the option, should I add a dedicated circuit to plug the project in to?

Geez where to start. Clicked on link for screen not sure which one I should get.

Are both fans meant to work? Or just the one? :/ My right fan isn't moving at all.

H i awesome vid, i am makeing a 180 deg curved screen for my flight sim will need ive been told 2 projectors how do i set those up please ,any info would be great

Great step by step and clear installation. Btw what kind of the cordless drill u using it? can drill on concrete wall too? is it very expensive? i wanna get one for drilling and screwing.

Thanks for your video, I am managing to install the projector on the ceiling too, but the plasterboard seems quite thin, is it strong enough to hold the projector and keep it from falling down? Thanks.

I had a image of the camera spinning around and a guy in a white suit in corner of room playing piano

Really helpful - thank you!

Why a splitter I plug in the avr and use the input 3 hdmi for sound and video source from my projector. Unless your avr doesnt have many hdmi outputs

On the topic of projection distance and projection size, from wall to wall I have 3.3m so say 3m from lense to wall which allows for the bare minimum of project (92inch) is it possible to blow it up or make it smaller or is that what you get and is their no altering projection size

I detest drilling into dry wall. It goes Pete Tong for me every time.

yes I have to get a mount for my projector

Very nice video 👍👍

Was this ecrewd into a joist because i have a projector i want to ceiling mount but not eire if i have to screw into joist or add bit of timber between them any advice id appreciate

whether I should mount the projector on the ceiling or mount a wall shelf on the wall and put both projector and apple tv on the shelf? How should I choose? Thanks!

Hi, I've read that pull down screens curl in the corners so I was considering a fixed frame one, but then I have to move it back and fourth. How is your motorised one?

very long and detailed video ,well done lad, i got a optoma short throw which i wish wasnt so short throw ! cuz i was hoping to have it against the opposite wall to the screen at 3.5 metres distance but the image is so fucking huge it goes floor to ceiling and beyond ! so have to have it on a coffee table infront of the sofa for the right throw distance ,but a ceiling mount is probably a good option for me, im curious if i can be cheeky and rob the lights rose circuitry to feed the projectors power ( yh itll fail house insurance inspection but so many bodge new outlets that way )

If you use too long hdmi lead, they will burn out the ports on your av receiver. I know this too well using a 10m hdmi lead. I now use a powered hdmi line via a lan line.

Hi Just came across this video at right time.. I'm going to fit some heavy lights into a kitchen ceiling suspended by 2 hooks but where I want them sited doesn't line up with joists. Had thought of using anchors but wasn't sure if load bearing was same for anchors as they're vertical and not horizontal as in a wall.. Could 2 anchors hold about 3 kilos or should I change position and screw hooks into joists? BTW I love your videos... Mark

Nice instruction movie, what kind of screen do you have?

Just curious why you chose not to screw it into the joist instead?

Ok thanks ,but how to full screen benq ms 535 model .

Oh yes, peel that film :)

can you tell what type of plaster board fixings they are, never seen them before, thanks

Great job. Thanks for demo

With anchors drywall can hold hundreds of pounds.

this might be a stupid question but why are you using a splitter? nobody I know has one.

How do you make sure there's not pipes or wires in wall??

Why dont you show how to run all the wires and hide them?

Will drywall hold the weight? Or do I need to find the joist to drill into? Have optoma 142x

What fixing would you suggest to mount a projector that weighs 11kg if you can't attach to the stud please?

What type of screw thing that you use to first insert into the ceiling that cause it to grab onto it? Are these use because you cannot find the stud?

So what you're telling me...is.... sparky is slang for electrician?

thank *YOU*

At 18:14, what kind of screws are those? What kind of weight can they hold?

Idk i found the music a little depressing, very helpful though!

Boss ,my turned up side down on the screen, wont turned back up ,don't know how?

This was pretty hard to watch. And took very long to get it done

U were having trouble with the focus i wish you didnt edit the part...where you started adjusting to screws at the top because camera cut then comeback perfect focus what screws did you adjust exactly thanks

My projector has single me provision how to install that?

Did you tried to find any stud behind the ceiling using your stud detector to secure those anchors or you just drill the ceiling and just place them, because i dont know how is posible to resist that much weight , i was trying to install mine but i doubt it to do it because i was trying to find any stud behind the ceiling to hold the weight

Mate, would you use rather fisher duo plugs nowadays or those metal ones?

Can I please have a link for those anchors?

i have projector uc40 but not hole back side

is it a good idea to put apple tv on the projector after this mount? Not sure if this extra weight will be a problem for the mount and not sure if the heat from the projector will affect apple tv

What is the name of ur projector sir pls rply me as much as fast possible

Would been easy just useing bracket marking instead of both bracket & projector

How do is get to control the screen length ?? Thanks

great thnku bro..

u should of used a 90 degree hdmi and plugged into the projector first :D would of been a bit easier lol

How would you recommend installing a 14kg projector & mount in a flat with a suspended/dropped ceiling?

NICE.. !! - WHEN THE DOOR SLAMS INTO THE PROJECTOR...

where to buy the ceiling mount bracket??

What’s the purpose of the splitter?

so dope

loose cable by the ceiling will be everyone prob

will a chrome cast work ? save running hmdi cable ?

Nice video, but what's up with the depressive song? =/

can i project on a black wall?

Which HDMI splitter did you get and how did it hold up?

Reco: watch this at 1.25X speed

would you suggest mounting the screen first then the projector to fit to the screen to size?

الجهاز شغال تمام المنيوم بعطيني كلمة key lock نوع الجهاز hitachi

Thanks for the video. Would the same HDMI cable you bought work on a 4k projector 12m long

I wanted a projector Never mind...lol

That is a bit dodgy with all the stress on plasterboard in such a small area.. Not good. Better to attach some ply to the ceiling then the mount to the ply

Why the sad music tho?

dude. 44 min video of you installing the projector? come on!

Glad I skipped this thumbs down for misleading title, I so wish KZfaq had an unwatch button so views wouldn't be counted on bids like this, I was expecting to see a vid about the wiring too.

What’s up with the music??

i put mine in a wall lol i upload later
