I just ceiling mounted my 300u and Da-Lite Hi-Power over the weekend. (finally! yeah!) Everything went surprisingly smooth for the most part.
However, this is a basement HT setup like many people here, and therefore there is a floor above it naturally. I have three very active children under age 6 ... talk about your ground pounders! The projector had to be mounted in a location that is a CONSTANT source of traffic on the floor above, unfortunately.
Anyway, I'm worried this constant vibration could either, a) Harm the PJ in general, or b) Shorten lamp life considerably. I'm just not sure what is normal vibration, and what is excessive.
-> Would either of these be the case?
-> Would love to hear other people's thoughts/experiences with vibration?
I did see the image jump slightly when my wife walked across the area once. HOWEVER, I was about 5 inches from the screen.
Guess I'll have to do some testing at viewing distance. I'll just get the kids keyed-up and turn them loose on the floor above. My wife constantly reminds me I'm good at that anyway.
