designed by porshce

i doubt it, it's FUGLY (of course, you may feel that way about porshce's anyway ala cayene )

however it probably works fine, alough it looks cheap and nasty imo.

i have a vogels mount, was about £70 from nexnix.co.uk and is a classy mount

I wouldn't bother with the Vogels mount, I have one and there is no facility for tightening it up, it just relies on friction to keep the projector in place, not very satisfactory for a £70.00 mount.

"Only available in black" - Yuk!

Wait a while & save some pennies to get something decent.

See more comments here....

... saying the vogels does not lock or can't be tightened.

It can. I've done it. Not too difficult. Takes a few minutes. Can't remember how but it involved dismantling the centre piece ( i.e. the bit with the spring ) Bit of tightening from that side was involved as far as I remember and put back together. Mount would need a fiir bit of force to adjust now. Me, I like the vogels mount, it's neat and blends in.

Try here www.imount.co.uk, got mine from here, believe it's the same company that is selling it on e-bay, no P+P when i bought it either. Not the best looking mount in the world, but does the job.
