Projector shelf mount, which one?

[Phate]

Hi all,

last time I had my projector mounted upside down on a shelf I had a cheap £10 ebay mount which did the job but it was a nightmare to get it completely right and would sometimes move and wobble.

This time I want to spend a bit more and get a good one which once set in place, will not move, and is easy to adjust and fine tune for the initial setup.

Any recommendations?

Thank you.

I went through a few options with my projector and the best one - aethetically - was a pretty standard, wooden shelf. It wasn't hanging upside down - just sitting on it and using the feet for fine adjustment. Not sure if that's any help. It's what i'll be going for in my next build rather than a ceiling mount.

That is one option. Doesn't that mean the shelf has to sit lower on the wall due to the angle of projection?

Ah ok that makes sense. Maybe I can have it just sitting on a shelf then and not worry about it otherwise. Will make cabling a little more of a challenge, but not impossible.

Will have a think, cheers

Still open to suggestions for mounts in case I decide to do it upside down though!

There's lots of smart looking mounts around. What pj is it?

Optoma do a solid looking one for £65.

Going to weigh up my options. Maybe experiment with the projector just sitting on a shelf and hold it up on the wall and see if that will "do the trick" before splashing out.

So this weekend I looked into shelf placement and projector etc. I definitely need to mount it upside down.

The hunt for a mount begins!
