    Mobile Projector Mount?

    I have a projector that I need to mount fairly high to get the picture to look right on my screen. Most of the mounts I've found online are for permanent installations.

    Is there any sort of mobile mount that I can use to attach my projector to a light stand / truss?

    Thanks!

    - Matthew

    I make several mounts for projectors to fit on lighting tripods. Feel free to contact me.

    Take a look at your projector, open the menu, and adjust the keystone, then you won't have to put it so high.

    I'd like to have a pair of "ball & socket" type mounts that fit a standard tripod myself for my two Dell 2400MP projectors. Anybody?

    Mine use a pipe fitting, the size pipe is just small enough to slide inside my crank stand vertical tube. I drilled a hole through both pipes and secured with a nut and bolt.

    I use a camera tripod. The mount screws right into the bottom of my projector. You can even adjust the length of the legs independently if needed
