I've just received an LMP mount for my Z2, and it looks a great bit of kit.
The only thing I'm not too sure about is actually putting it on the ceiling! Fortunately I have a roof joist running right where the mount will go, so the 'front' and 'back' of the mount can be screwed straight into the joist.
A bit of advice on what screws to use wouldn't go amiss. I obviosuly want some fairly hefty screws to keep the whole thing up.
With regards to the left and right side of the mount, would I need to fit noggins between the joists and screw the projector into them? Or would it be fine just screwed into the joist?
Oh, whilst I'm here...
I'm going to need to extend the power lead for the projector once it's mounted as well. I've looked around and all I can find are 2m powere leads with a C5 connector on the end (which looks to be the type that the Z2 uses).
Does anyone know where I can get either a) a much longer power lead, or b) just a C5 connector so I make up my own lead?
The only other alternative will be to lop off the plug from the existing power lead and bodge it together with another length of cable.
