It is pretty easy to flip the projector over when you place it on a high shelf. You need to invert the image using the remote control. You will get a fantastic result.I use this to project on a transparent cloth from behind so show "eye candy" at parties. Works like a charm.

If you use the extension pole that you purchase separately, then I would think you could make it work. I did not need the extension with my mount, but as long as you can mount the pole where it can hang straight down you should be fine. However, I cannot see this mount or any mount working alone on an angled ceiling. This unit has the ability to tilt, but if you factor in the projector that's connected to it, I feel the projector would hit the ceiling before you achieved the proper angle.

that would depend on the how big of a screen you want and what angle you are projecting. I have my projector mounted on the ceiling and projecting a 110" image on my wall. I have rather good definition although the angle form the ceiling mount makes one corner of the projection not as clear as the rest,(there is a lens focus that you adjust for different distances) but from what I have read on every projector this is a very common problem. I would recommend this projector over any other. between it's value and clarity its a great buy for a big screen without the big price. let me know if you have any other questions.

Honestly I don't think the designers thought of it: As far as I can tell you'll need a ceiling mount which cradles it, instead of one of those that simply bolts right into the projector, and on top of that; one that doesn't obscure the connectors, located on the right side towards the back, unless you only need VGA or USB which are on the back. But it can flip the image upside down.

Yeah i agree with Marilyn. I keep mine about 6 inches off the wall because i constantly turn the tv depending on where i am in the house. But if you want it close to the wall... you should consider getting one that does not swivel. It would sit a tad bit closer to the wall.

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.

I think it depends on your projector. I was surprised that I needed to be fairly close, maybe 5 to 6ft. I'm very happy with the screen, it's big, but easy setup and breakdown. Hope this helps. :)

I think it really depends on how close to the wall/screen you are mounting the projector. Mine is 16 feet from the front of the projector to the wall and easily covers every bit of my 10' 8" (diagonal) screen with excellent resolution. So from 12 feet you should be able to project a very large quality image.

I would call their tech support. I bought this projector and LOVE IT. I called them with the screen size and the distance and they told me exactly where to place it and how far down it had to hang.

the Little nub on the bottom in the front is actually a screw which when turned will adjust the front end of the projector higher or all the way in is as low as it goes,I usually just place my projector on a small table or small stand or stage floor depending on where I am using it. You can buy a stand if you want to suspend it from the ceiling.I hope this info helps

The shelf starts 6" away from the wall. Measuring from the front of the shelf back to the wall is over 21". In our case we have an LCD panel mounted above the shelf, therefore the shelf sticks out much further than the TV. This shelf hangs in my daughters bedroom and is placed on the opposite wall from her bed. Therefore, you have to be careful when you walk around the end of the bed so you don't hit your head on the shelf. We ordered the OmniMount Tria 2 shelf version as well and it is much closer to the wall - from the front of shelf to wall is 15 3/4". This version works very well in her living room but would be rather large to hang in bedroom unless you are also installing gaming systems. The shelf starts 6" away from the wall.

The top shelf has an adjustable angle, the lower shelf is in a fixed angle. Shown in the picture, you could adjust the angle of the projector side to side. If you turn the projector to point to the left side of the picture you could then adjust the front and back angle to fix your problem. Make sense?

The projector can be used with the image upright (tabletop) or inverted Kceiling mount). It can be ceiling mounted. This is how I have mine set up.

It is my opinion, that while it could be used as a wall mount it most definitely would not be the preferred way to use it. There is some play in the way that the bracket hangs from the top ceiling mount (it's just slotted and no matter how tight those three top bolts are it still has play) When hanging form the ceiling this doesn't have any effect on the projector but I am afraid that might not be the case when using it from the wall. That is not to say that someone couldn't make it work if you're pretty handy in that way.

I have mine about 10 feet away from the wall. The picture quality is good, brightness, contrast, and sound are good for the price. Do yourself a favor when you buy this. Get some blackout cloth.(it is actually white and looks a bit thick like felt) you can get it here on amazon for cheap. I would reccommend a few yards. Make sure you mount the projector parallel to the wall. Otherwise it messes with the screen. Cheers.

It's usable on a coffee table. I'd google the owners manual and look at the throw rate. Also, if you're using it in a room w ambient light be aware of the lumen rate as well. It's a great projector and shows a very clear pic. Email me directly at level5ninja@yahoo.com w any other questions.

That's a good question. I hung mine upside down with no problems. It is much harder to mount upside down from the ceiling that just setting it on a table or the floor and turning it on though. I would try it both ways and see what works best for the room you are using it in. Also, depending on the room size, you might try sideways from a wall too, although I don't think that would be the best bet. Hope that helps.
