Hi Jay, I thought this piece was unstable and pretty much a waste of money.

Very feasible, the image shows up pretty clearly from behind, so I think you would be able to do it with a strong enough projector. Ours is a little under 1500 lumens to give you an idea.

Yes! its Great for projecting movies, that's the reason i bought it in the first place, I projected it on a wall at a friends yard and it looked great thank even though no screen wad used, lights off of course, I don't regret buying this projector at all! :) hope this helps.

You can but I would go with a little more expensive one. This one good for movies and DVD projections. If your going to use it all the time for power points. I would invest into a more name brand one.

I think this would be an awkward way to use it. The weight of the projector and arm would almost certainly cause the arm to pivot downward no matter how tight you fasten the screws at the "wall"-side arm attachment point. You'd need some kind of second anchor like a wire that very securely held the arm up to the ceiling or to a higher point on the wall than the mount plate. If you have a very short throw projector and are confident the anchored wire won't pull out of the wall, it might work, but I think you would be happier with a standard wall mount instead.

According to the user manual this is possible. I have found that if using the projector outside, it is much loader if the back of the unit is facing a structure (i.e. house or wall). Otherwise it does appear to be harder to hear. Other than that I have no complaints about the projector itself. It has been an excellent product overall. We plan on a Christmas celebration next month and I will be stopping into BestBuy to get advice from the Geek Squad on the best option for external speakers.

The projection is going to "map" the profile of your ceiling. So you are going to see the projection going on your beam too. Is going to be visible but not dramatically. I have a large fan in the middle of my ceiling (witch is much worst than your beam) so part of the projection is on it. But because the projector can be angled so you can "aim" the portion of the ceiling you want and especially because the projection is rotating and every part of the projection is going to "fly" in front of you at one point, it never bother me.

I've the projector and yes you can mount on the ceiling you need to mount with the upper part the one where there's the logo facing down and then there's the option in the menu to invert the picture).What vertical shift does is, one you've attached the projector to the ceiling, moving the image a little down or up

We have ours positioned above the TV in the ceiling pointing down at about a 45 degree angle. We had to have a custom built wooden box to hold it and used grill type ceiling tiles to allow sound to come through. This works great. Not sure if it could be mounted on a wall. Might want to put it on a shelf.

It would need to sit on a shelf or be mounted on a bracket which could attach to the bottom of the projector and the wall behind it at the same time. The only holes for a mount are on the bottom.

Hi Kathy - I bought this projector and found out too late that you cannot easily just attach external speakers. The speakers built in to the unit are ok, not great. If you are using it in a large room, forget it. While it is a great projector, I ended up sending this one back to amazon, and got a different one that I can attach speakers to.

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.

You have to flip the projector up side down. If it doesn't line up after trying it a few different ways then you got the wrong mount. (it took me a minute to figure it out)

No have projector myself. I use this shelf as center channel only would not recommend as a projector shelf .hope this info helps you.

You should try to avoid any situation where you will be tilting your projector and/or using keystone adjustments. Ideally you would use an extension tube or as a last resort a shifting lens to get the lens into proper position in front of the screen. Using keystone adjustments (necessitated by tilting the projector) will reduce your effective resolution. I suggest you try to get the projector down at least a few feet from the ceiling, but there are lots of variables, and you have not given us enough data (throw distance, screen size, viewing distance, etc.)

It would depend on how much you need to tilt your projector to align it on your screen. The center bracket drops down 8.5" from the ceiling tile to the projector.

I believe they have ceiling mounts on Amazon for this projector! I just put mine on a shelf high on the wall and that has been working great!
