projector mount

[drankin]

For years, I have made homemade projector mount platforms with c-clamps. Does anyone know of a commercial one that would be more durable than one made out of plywood?

Chief is probably the biggest manufacturer of generic mounts. They are worth the price. That being said, there are many different manufacturers of mounts. Let me say that I am extremely pleased at your choice to go away from plywood for your mount. Flying a projector is still rigging and you need to use the proper materials for the job.

What model projector do you want to mount? There may be better options for you.

We generally mount inexpensive small projectors such as Benq, Hitachi, etc. Usually they aren't much bigger than 12x24".

The nice thing about Chief is that they are good quality, universal mounts. I would have had a couple more suggestions if you were using larger projectors. Here's a finder.

One thing that is nice using a manufactured mount is that you will have your projector inverted. This works best with the optics.
