I am remodeling attic space and have the opportunity to "recess" the projector. Should I do this or will there be a problem either with mounting, or

There are two things to look at one is the cooling of the projector. A recessed install may not give enough air circulation. The second and probably most important is the screen height. This unit does not offer any offset so technically the top of the lens needs to be at the top height of the screen. You can use the keystone feature to work around this a bit but it will give a bit of warp to your picture.

No. There are no instructions packaged with unit or available to recess mount. There are right angle brackets as part of the aluminum extrusions that form the rear corners that make it difficult to recess mount. You can do anything with enough time and money. This unit was not specifically meant to recess mount.

I have zero vibration coming from my projector as I would expect from any projector of quality, but I can also say it would still take some seriously violent vibration to shake my mount. I could damn near hang from it. If you install it correctly there should be zero movement. Make sure you screw the base into a ceiling truss/stud and not into the drywall...

No problem. The mounting hardward doesn't show. I would recommend however that you purchase also from a local store a strip of cord cover for the picture down to the outlet. Makes it look a whole lot neater.Regards,

Keep in mind short or ultra short throw projectors (1.5ft to 4ft) may complicate the installation

I just looked at mine and I don't see any mounting slots or anything so I would say no. That's not to say you can get clever and try but I wouldn't recommend it. The mini sub on the bottom would probably vibrate it to much and the speakers would have to be pointed at you, if on the wall they would point downward and probably sound funny. It would go good on a solid piece of furniture. Like most audio systems, vibration occurs and so you would not want it on anything that might rattle to much. The best place is under the T.V. or right in front of it if the stand is too big. For $60 its good for a small apartment or a house if your on a tight budget and just need some extra sound in your bedroom/living room. I think it goes great with my projector as I move it around a lot.

I just tried it outside of a dirty window at night and it looked great. I imagine it would look pretty good if it were clean too. You just have to remember to set the projector for rear projection so the image will appear correct from outside.

No, the clearance from ceiling to top of the first bulb is slightly less than 1 inch, so while you may be able to recess the "can" slightly you won't be able to fully hide it.

I plan to use a Tenmat Recessed Light cover and some self expanding foam to secure it...but I have access to the backs of the speakers- attic space.

This mount will adjust to absolutely any angle you need. If you are in a tight spot, then this is the mount for you. If you need to angle the projector "down" then you need a longer mount...one with a "down rod" preferably...Angling the image downward will cause a distortion, or trapezoid. It can be "corrected" with the keystone function, but that should be a last ditch attempt. You are far better off getting the right mount that will put your projector at the correct height for your screen.

The mount has an adjustable ball and socket joint between the projector base plate and the telescoping shaft. It should allow you to adjust for the angle of a vaulted ceiling. You can also use the keystone correction on your projector if needed. Edit: Just noticed in the spec that the tilt angle is +/- 25 degrees, so definitely check the angle of your ceiling first.

This mount is universal. We have used it on 2 different projectors and had no problem. The fittings are movable and allows you to extend or retract for screw placement.

If you are able to put the projector near the center of the room it should be fine. On the side of the room the projection should only be messed up just behind the beams path.

Yeah!!.. Maybe space would be ok, you wanna spend money? buy this thing.. otherwise look for another projector (maybe a little more expensive, but operational)

If you would like to mount a small receiver for speakers then I would look at other mounting options specifically made for such purposes. Using the Hyloft ceiling storage kit would be overkill. Whether you like the look, would depend on your space. These look good in the garage; I would not, e.g. put them in my living or family rooms.

technically yes, however it won't be able to hold any position until the screw is tightened fully. also, depending on how many degrees of freedom you want, you might need to loosen and tighten several screws for each adjustment. This can be an especially tedious process when attempting to level the projector into its "active" position. I would not recommend this product be used in the way that you are intending to use it.

I'm not sure what a flush mount is. A plate is screwed into the ceiling. The mount is attached to the bottom of the projector. The projector gets installed upside down and there is about a 3 inch gap between the ceiling and projector when installed. This is the only experience I have with on of these but I had no problems with it, it adjusts easily and it breaks apart for easy projector removal. Hope that helps.
