how close to the ceiling can the projector be? I have 8ft ceiling and don't want it to hang too low

Mine is 5.5 inches from the ceiling. Pretty snug fit. Don't think you'd want to be much closer. This is quite a hunk of metal as well. Very sturdy and adjust in all kinds of directions. Very well organized assortment of spacers and screws. I am very happy with mine.

This is one of the tightest fitting mounts I could find. That being said, I needed to do some extra engineering to get it to hold its position. Mine has to be reaimed about once every month as it loses its "hold" and my screen drifts about an inch. Not a huge deal as I can reach it from the sofa. Mounting it as tight as I can go yielded about 4-4.5" from ceiling to top of the projector). Everything else was int he 6"+ range so this is one reason I picked the Mustang even though I would have some aiming issues.

Hi Lawrence. I am not an expert, but I do own the projector you are looking at. I also installed it in our theatre. We hung it at 15' out and the throw is tight. I can't imagine being able to set it up at 8'. But the expert is better to ask. I was able to get through to the BenQ customer service. They were very knowledgeable when I was installing. But it did take several days for them to call back.

I hung mine in the dinning room and I have a very high ceiling. It should be hanging about another foot lower. However, it does look beautiful. It CANNOT be extended since it is not a regular electrical cord.

I'm 5'8", and am able to use it comfortably with 7' ceilings. It leaves plenty of room between my head and the ceiling.I have a ceiling fan in the room, and would probably even be able to use it under that, although that would be a bit tight for my liking.

that would depend on the how big of a screen you want and what angle you are projecting. I have my projector mounted on the ceiling and projecting a 110" image on my wall. I have rather good definition although the angle form the ceiling mount makes one corner of the projection not as clear as the rest,(there is a lens focus that you adjust for different distances) but from what I have read on every projector this is a very common problem. I would recommend this projector over any other. between it's value and clarity its a great buy for a big screen without the big price. let me know if you have any other questions.

Our ceilings are 8' and we were able to adjust accordingly. Hope this helps.

You can hang it as close as you want - I removed a bunch of links from the chain with pliers, and have it hanging about 5 or 6 inches from the ceiling. But you could even leave just a couple chain links and have it almost right up against the ceiling. For aesthetics, you can also trim down the power cord so that there's not a lot of slack hanging over the chandelier. Unfortunately there's not a lot of space in the dome for all the extra cord, so if you're hanging close the ceiling, you will most likely have to trim the cord. The downside to cutting the cord is that if you ever want to hang the chandelier lower, you might not have enough cord length remaining, so just keep that in mind.

Not sure. We use it on our house (living room) that has an 8ft. ceiling and its not a problem.

The only downside for a home install is having enough room. The projector needs to be about 15 ft away (thats my guestimate) from the wall in order to focus properly. But it's a solid projector that is VERY bright. We've had no trouble with ours.

I am 6ft and have mine in a room that is 7' 10" where my head is. There is a 4" space above my head. So a 7' ceiling maybe too low for you.

There is NO height adjustment on this mount. Once installed the projector easily swings up and down or left to right, but you cannot actually lower the entire projector with this mount. If you need it lower you will have to use a pipe or something similar to lower it from the ceiling. Small changes to your screen can be made by pointing your projector up or down, but ideally it is better for your projector to be level compared with the top of your screen

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.

the tilt range isn't very far. I have my 50" fully tilted forward and mounted 8" from the ceiling and it is a perfect angle. Hope this helps

Yes, I just installed in a room with 8 FT ceilings and it looks beautiful. If anyone is over 6FT tall it may be an issue.

Absolutely! Mine is installed in my family room with 8' ceilings. I had the same concerns, but it worked out beautifully!

It's a projector, you can move it up closer or further back to get whatever size you want. you can do a few inches to a few hundred inches. I've had mine at 330" and it looked okay ( not overly bright) but 92" or 115" wouldn't be a problem at all.
