I've done a little reading on some DIY ceiling mounts on the forum and they all look like they work quite well given the dimensions and needs of each perosn, however I have a different issue.
My ceilings are 10'6" and I need the PJ to come down about 2.5' to get it in proper alignment with the screen. My end goal is to have the PJ mounted on the end of a linear actuator (http://www.firgelliauto.com/product_...products_id=64) and when it's fully retracted, the PJ will up just below the ceiling. I originaly wanted to make it go into the attic and out of sight but it gets pretty hot up there, so my alternative is to have it just below the ceiling when retracted.
My main issue is that I need to find a solution for moutnig the PJ to the end of the actuator. Firgelli Automations has a mounting bracket (http://www.firgelliauto.com/product_...products_id=45) but this will not connect to the Chief RPA-168 PJ mount.
Anyone have any ideas on how to attach the end of the actuator to the Chief mount? I was thinking some sort of coupler that would go from the end of the actuator to the 1.5" NPT threaded portion of the Chief mount so it won't spin or yaw but not sure.
Thanks!
