|
|
It seems that for my current setup it has become necessary to mount my d50q on the ceiling. I am not sure what the implications of this will be. In order to do it properly it seems that I'll have to buy the mounting bracket somewhere. Has anyone ever used it? Is it worth three hundred dollars or whatever they go for? Would it be better to build some sort of housing that doesn't involve flipping the thing over? Is it possible to build your own mounting bracket if you have enough gumption?
I don't want to do this, but I am left with little option since we decided to build seating risers. Another reason I hesitate is that my blue tube is only so so and it doesn't seem possible to acquire a new one without buying a super expensive remanufactured one. Who knows what my next projector will be. I don't want to invest in a bunch of stuff I won't be able to use.
Thanks again in advance everyone,
Joe

Normally this isn't possible, but with the innovation of a certain West Korean company, regular consumers can purchase the Gravity Inverter (tm), to solve all of your floor-plan needs....
Sorry, too much coffee  Do a search on "unistrut" and you'll come up with everything you need.

The unistrut solution is near perfect. Cheap, easy to acquire, strong like bull, easy to position, everything. As for flipping the unit upside down - Check out the manual online and it will tell you where the connectors that need to be flipped are. Takes 2 minutes tops.

With the power off. Never try with the power on.

Ha - you're probably not a fan of the "lick your fingers" method of detecting current either, i gather?

9 volt battery to the tounge.  Although if you try the scan reversal with the power on you can spot burn the tubes.
