No lens shift. Will I still be able to place this projector towards the ceiling (not mounting it upside down) on a platform and project it downwards?

Yes - you can mount it from its top to the ceiling and then you will a menu option where you can "tell it" that this is the type of application it is in and it will automatically adjust itself to project from that position. It's a great projector for a home theater system.

You will have to turn it upside down. I have mine on a shelf without a ceiling mount. I used some stick rubber tabs to on the top ans some door shims to adjust the vertical position. Unless you have friends who are over 7 ft tall no one can tell.

Hi Sudhakar, I am assuming that you want to place your projector near ceiling on a base and project on the wall on the front. You will have to adjust the roller legs of the project accordingly to raise the projector from the back. I haven't tried this way as I have my projector mounted in the ceiling and projecting on the wall without any lens shift.

Yes. You can. It's a great product. I have it on a shelf and it works perfectly. I purchased the ceiling mount and decided not to use because it works so well. FYI it only has two HDMI ports. If you have more questions feel free. Evan.williams92@gmail

I bought a wall mount and had to mount it upside down. I don't think you can project it down unless it is upside down. Even so, it was relatively simple to mount.

Jerry: I don't know about a, quote, quick release screw. The way it is designed it should swivel (IE: from the wall straight ahead to an adjacent wall) by loosening an hex head (allen bolt) bolt on the shaft. By design there is a flat (horizontal) plate that screws to the ceiling, then a tube is welded to the plate. That vertical tube slides onto another tube connecting the main housing that mounts the projector. I just swapped projectors and to get mine down I unscrewed the hex head bolts on the swivel tube. You should be able to swivel it at least 80 degrees no problem. If you want to do it on a regular, say weekly, basis I would not get this unit.

I use a large image size albeit at a shorter throw distance. At 50' Some quick calculations tell me that the minimum 16:9 aspect projection will be ~319" diagonal (~8,100mm) or ~278" (~7060mm) by ~156.4" (~3970mm).This is ok, if the room is fairly dark during projection although this is entirely subjective.I believe it is also important to check if the vertical shift is acceptable to you as the image will be about 54" (~1360mm) above the normal plane of the projector (or below if ceiling mounted).All aside, page 18 of the freely downloadable manual will likely be more helpful than any subjective explanations.

This mount will adjust to absolutely any angle you need. If you are in a tight spot, then this is the mount for you.If you need to angle the projector "down" then you need a longer mount...one with a "down rod" preferably...Angling the image downward will cause a distortion, or trapezoid. It can be "corrected" with the keystone function, but that should be a last ditch attempt. You are far better off getting the right mount that will put your projector at the correct height for your screen.

Yes you can adjust however you want it. But make sure the mounting hole locations on your projector do not interfere with thr base plate of the ceiling mount.

The manual and specs doesn't say so but it has an option for vertical as well as horizontal image shift. It may be that instead of an optical shift it is a digital or software shift but i tried this feature and could not detect any discernable difference in the image quality. HTH

Yes I have. The platform has plenty of room for my projector. The only issue is that there isn't a lip on any of the sides to keep the projector from sliding off in steep angles. I had to fabricate one.Also, the base is a plastic like material not wood. It's plenty sturdy just not as thick as you would think.

I bought this projector last year. I originally wanted to mount it to the ceiling, but it would require some more creative thinking than I would rather do. You would need some kind of shelf suspended from the ceiling or something to sit it on. The only other thing would be to do as NaRa says and modify the actual body of the projector and I would advise against it since it is made from cheap plastic. It is great if you could put it on a high shelf or like I said make one suspending from the ceiling.

The 8350 does not use keystone correction. It has lens shift (far better, as it does not require subtracting pixels from the image.) You do not angle it toward the screen- you will get keystoning if it is not situated perfectly parallel. Lens shift allows the projector to be ceiling mounted and shift the image down onto the screen, basically one full image height. How far down do you want it to go? My projector is mounted 6" off the ceiling, projects onto the screen 10 ft. away, and I can shift the image down so the top of the image is over a foot from the ceiling with very little keystoning.

I thought the same thing upon install but depending on your projector, it might adjust to the angle automatically (mine did). Mu would give it a try as most have this feature

If you want to use it terrestrially like that, you will need to purchase and image inverter so that the image is not upside down.OOOppss!! My earlier respons is WRONG, the scope has a built in erector, which most astro-scopes don't so there should be no problem.

No, unless you hang the projector to a ceiling mount. This requires the projector to be attached upside down. The projector has setting to flip Picture, but you'll still have to place where you're not in front of the light beam. if you have the room space. This projector has rear projection, but require the purchase of a rear projection screen. This would be the best way to achieve what you're trying to do.

Yes. We did some thing like this. The original wouldn't all fit in the camera's area at once. I added alignment marks on the original. It worked great. Just don't move the camera head or the projector once you start.

We mounted it using the arm drop extension. It pivots at the part attached to the projector, not at the end attached to the ceiling. The pivot works very well - we have it set regularly to display on our projector screen, but can swivel the projector 90 degrees to display on the side wall (which is just white) for when we want to view from the other end of the room (it is a long basement room). Not a common need - we use it set up specifically for the projector screen the majority of the time, but a nice feature to have.

Not physical shift. There are minor adjustments you can make in the settings, but the lens is fixed. It has Vertical and Horizontal keystone.

No, the lens are fixed and directed ahead. You can only move it left-right / up-down for some degrees.

I did very little adjusting on the high beams... the projectors are not movable. I would try it first before I would do anything to it.
