I'm in the process of identifying the proper mount for my projector (BenQ W1070). It will be installed in a drop ceiling (2x2ft panels).
According to the BenQ website , I will need to have the center of the lens 5" from the ceiling. I have a 120" fixed screen with felt frame that will be mounted on my wall which is 7' 10" tall and 12' 0" wide. My plan is to mount the screen very close to the ceiling, since I've found this to be the best viewing angle, leaving about 5" between the top of the frame and the ceiling.
Based on the lens needing to be 5" or so from the ceiling, it sounds like I'll need to mount the projector as flush as I can to the tile.
1) Assuming I'm interpreting this correctly, does anyone see any issues with this plan?
2) Additionally, can anyone recommend a mount (under $100) that would accomplish this task?
3) I'm going to need some support above the ceiling tile, so I could use some help determining the best way to connect the projector to the ceiling while maintaining this 5" clearance for the lens.
Thanks!
