And some people are censured with how the projector will be hung, its not a problem. I'm planing on hanging it on top of a 1'x1' platform thats connected to a batten with 2 cyc light mounting arms that will be bolted to the platform. And of course it will be modified to the point that the projector will have no chance of falling out. And there is also a point on this projector for a standard safety change. So hanging it is a non issue.
I suggest you reconsider this, you appear to possibly be missing some of the implications. You usually want a projector mounted to something fixed, not only do you need it to stay in the same position for aiming and focus but I've had projectors mounted direct to structures have problems with vibration and movement, hanging a lightweight projector on a batten seems likely to be problematic in that regards. You also probably want to mount the projector using proper projector mounting hardware that provides pitch and yaw type adjustments. Also think about how you are going to get power and signal to the projector and how you plan to control it, for example you probably want to 'mute' the projector when not displaying and image.

Along with Display Devices, other common projector mounting hardware manufacturers include Chief Manufacturing, Peerless, Da-Lite and Draper. I believe NEC even offers a mount for that projector.
