Tripod mount for projector?

[mxby7e]

I'm looking for a solution to mount a projector on top of a tripod 10-15 ft in the air like a lighting or speaker tripod. I have been googling and searching for a few months now and figured is ask you guys. I've seen it done by another technician in my area so I know it's possible I just need to figure out how and with what equipment.

I think you are looking for something like this

for the last two you would need to attach some kind of plate to adapter.

Make sure you strap down the projector so it doesn't fall if it gets bumped

Hope this helps!!

using a exterior speaker mounting bracket you can create a small platform to mount the projector on.
on the bottom of the projector there are likely mounting threds that you can use to secure the projector to the platform
or you could secure a projector ceiling mount to the speaker mount.

You can always use a boom base with threaded schedule 40 pipe into a standard projector mount like the ones from Peerless or Chief.
