What is the ideal throw distance, &amp; what angle does it need to be compared to the throw surface? Would 3 feet away from wall &amp; ceiling-mounted work?

Hi Jeff, just remember, a short throw is meant to give you optimal picture from a shorter distance. I have backed this projector up as far as 20 feet and recieved a phenomenal huge picture with great clarity! Also, as far as the angle, I have had mine on the floor and then just adjuated the keystone to the correct angle to get a straight picture. Hope this helps.

Iʻve tried it, unfortunately I donʻt have a photo sorry. But I can say it "sort of" works. Depending on how tall the walls are, it doesnʻt throw as far up the wall as I hoped. It just doesnʻt have enough throw. I used it as an uplight against a white wall that was about 20ʻ high, and it got "lost" after about 10-12ʻ. It does however work fine as an uplight on my speaker scrims, so if youʻre a DJ, looking for an affordable solution to lighting your scrims...this is good. Also good for a light wash on a small area...maybe 10ʻ to 15ʻ feet. If youʻre looking to uplight high walls... youʻd be better of spending the extra $50 bucks and buy the American DJ Mega Par Profile RGB LED, or the Chauvet version. I believe theyʻre both $99 or less. Iʻve tried it, unfortunately I donʻt have a photo sorry. But I can say it "sort of" works.

The ball has a hole so you can put a rope through it. I use a cotton 3/8" rope and leave about 16" hanging to use for throwing. I can throw it about 250 feet that way, it's the dog's favorite by far. Keep cars and windows out of range!

forward speed works for 40 or 50 feet. Turning and reverse rarely seem to work much at all. As for the speed being variable, that's up to how hard you can throw it.

I would recommend a good 20 get for maximum effectiveness. .. But is dependent on strength of throw into it. My son is 9 and 20 feet is minimum.

I can't answer that because I place the item on my back outside wall next to my door. One thing that I can say is about 25ft it didn't work, so my advice to you is go to a home center a buy a good one. Talk to a home center associate about what you are looking for, otherwise you will be spending money for nothing. My opinion.

the range is impressive. I've tested mine at 40 feet behind a wall and its perfect. amazing really.

I am not sure of the range. It all depends how you have it positioned, keep that in mind.

I mounted mine right on the wall using the bracket that came with the heater. I believe 8 to 10 inches is the minimum distance from adjacent walls. I live at an elevation of 5,300' and have no problems. I never considered the distance from the ceiling since I have over 8 feet of clearance, but I believe the instructions addressed those issues.

this is an interesting projector. very large projected images...within 30 inches of a wall or screen. the projector lens is actually convex hence the "short throw" feature. as you move the projector away from the wall or screen, it very quickly becomes extremely large...approximately 8' hign about 6' from the wall

I've used mine easily 300 ft away, with two walls in between. Range is very good.

No quite sure how you define short throw but my only problem has been getting it "small enough" to project in the area I need it to project it. Can easily cover an entire wall!

I don't know the range but ours is about 40 feet away from the base and goes through several walls. It works fine.

Something else to think about is the overhang, I don't know what other obstacles you have but the GS54 only has a 2.5 foot overhang, that is not giving you much distance off of the wall. you might consider a goal with a larger overhang and a nets system like the Yard guard.

My best throw is about 15-20 feet with fairly dry snow. It will go up over my 4 foot tall mound in the front yard and right into the steet. When you have mucky wet snow, slurpy snow, it is not too good, but my neighbors gas thrower does the same thing. They choke a bit on on slurpy snow but it still moves it. Just not very far. I use the full width of my thrower unless the snow is over 8" deep. * or higher and I overlap the cut.

It's perfect. It's too big for the wall, unless you have the space. My distanced is about 30 or 40 feet.

Hi J. Weakly, I tried to move a little under 20 feet away, clear hallway, no wall or obstruction, and it still played very clearly. I tried going inside a room directly across the living room and it cuts off. All in all, the distance for this one is excellent, just no room to room wall obstructions.
