Hello,

Can anyone suggest where to buy an affordable projector mount for Benq
w5000. I am not looking to spent anything more than $60.00.

Thanks.

Hi "speedzy"

Another member mentioned in another thread that Walmart has a low price univ PJ mount, see the link below:

Someone else found this univ mount from Monoprice for $15 (in black, silver or white colors):

Maybe others will offer reviews of these & other low cost PJ mounts for you.

Check in this thread:

The OP mentions a mount that he/she is considering for a W5000. It happens to be the same one I bought via Amazon (from a third-party Amazon reseller) - thus I have a reply in there too. There are lots to choose from in the market, depending on your drop needs and stability preferences. The Monoprice mount, with only three spider arms, is probably too flimsy for the W5000, which weighs about 22lbs.

Poke around Amazon and other sites and you can find quite a few mounts that are suitable for the W5000 - just remember the weight and make sure you get four mounting arms/brackets - I wouldn't trust 22lbs overhead using only three arms, since at least one will be over stressed.

IMHO, hope this helps,

HDGTX and Shinksma,

Than you very much for your reply. I will take a look at the ones you have suggested.

Shinksma, great point about the weight on that three armed mount.
