Hi,
I have a mount from perfectmounts.com on its way in the mail for my new 4805. My problem is I don't really know how I'm going to mount this to the ceiling of my apt. I have drywall ceilings (possibly metal joists? I don't know it's a highrise). I'm surprised I haven't been able to find a howto or anything that gets into what exactly to do to make sure I don't rip a hole in my ceiling and drop my projector.
I know there are six holes in the top plate of the mount. Am I putting four of those (don't know the real name) drywall fasteners that fold out through predrilled holes? Or am I putting two screws into the joists?
Can anyone point me in the direction of a howto or tell me exactly how to mount one of these to a drywall ceiling? Let me know anything I should be checking for to avoid any "rookie mistakes."
You guys have been a huge help to me through this process of setting up my HT, thanks alot!
