Hi after being asked by a friend to help install his new Panasonic AE100 PJ, i searched for the best ceiling mount prices etc.
I was suprised to find the going rate was near £200! (inc VAT/Del).
Now this price would be normal for a £2000 and upwards projector, but the AE100 is targetted at the budget end.
I decided to make one for him, and have photo'd the project so far.
The parts include (from B&Q).
One 8" round metal table leg £6.98
One TV mount 300 £16.98 ( can be had cheaper else where)
One can of silver spray £2.99
One nut and bolt to secure screw in plastic thread at the bottom of leg.
Please have a look at these photo's and then read on...

Right! as you can see from the photo's this is a very easy build.
You need to drill a small hole in the bottom of the screw in plastic leg adjuster, so you can attach the TV mount plate.
I will also drill right through the bottom of the leg and put a bolt through, just in case the bottom part of the leg isnt attached to well etc. Ie horizontally across the thread, not the vertical bolt that hold the TV plate on etc.
Once fully assembled i will mark off, and drill the AE100's bottom bolt holes etc(4mm?). I will then spray it silver to match.
This mount then allows 360 deg turning and 3+ and 10- degree tilt.
I will post more pics when i've finished it.
(Note pics from Nokia phone so not the best quality)
