Isn't 80/20 awesome?

So I got this new projector but didn’t want to drill into the wall to mount it. 80/20 to the rescue! And the best surprise was that the grooves in the aluminum extrusion fit the power cord perfectly snug, so the cord is practically invisible. :slight_smile:

That is cool. Now if I can convince my wife that I need a projector and that aluminum extrusion is good enough for wall art :slight_smile:

@ Iggmoe - +1 for the couch pillow ;p

@ Iggmoe - I second James about the pillow !!!

I’d like to have one of this, but: or my wife or the projector … I’ve not decided yet !

Haha, I got the pillow case by collecting Kellogg’s cereal boxes (it was a mail-in promotion). But it looks like you can buy direct:

Hi,

Just wondering what specific projector clamp/mount you used for this setup? Have been looking for those, but didn’t find anything suitable yet.

Thanks!

I used a wall-mount version of the Peerless PRG-EXA-S (“S” is for silver color, which unfortunately has been discontinued). The remaining available colors are either white or black:

@ Iggmoe - Very nice!

Years ago, I did something similar, but I built my own from scratch, using 3/4" MDF for a mounting box for the projector, and 1" EMT for the uprights. Your solution is much more elegant. And probably more stable as well.

@ devhammer - It actually is pretty stable, and the channels on the extrusion allow easy height adjustments. The grand total came out to $146 for this stand so pretty satisfied with it.

If you consider the cost of time, you probably came out cheaper than my version, too. Nice work. :slight_smile:
