It seems like everyone is using the four m4 screw threads for the mounting of this projector, now bare with me as I try to explain my plan!
I'm gona be attempting to construct a mount from, how best to decribe this, the top of a tripod!?
you know the bit that moves on all planes and tilts etc!? I'm off to look at a very solid one of these things (no tripod on the bottom) and plan to use this to screw into the large center screw thread on the bottom of the projector.
this will then be attached by a threaded bar to a joist etc securing it to the celing (for asthetics the threaded bar will be run through some pipeing)
this will then allow me to adjust the projector on every plane to ensure it is straight and true etc! and will also allow for easy access to the filter!
ok now at this point some of you may be thinking but if the screw thread slips snaps breaks etc its all gona come crashing down! well the size of the large screw thread looks to my engineering eye like it has the same loading support as the 4 smaller m4 threads. However I then though of putting a few chains to the m4 threads attached to the joist in a different spot as a sort of security/confidence aid!
I think the final ffect should look good, and if/when I do this I of course will post pics etc!
any commenets? suggestions etc?
