Chunky Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Hi all, I'm looking to ceiling mount our Casio A-140 projectors. I'm guessing a universal mount should be fine, but cannot find anywhere where it says what size screws that these things take. (They're much smaller ones than I've seen before) Anybody help? Chunks
Haptic Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Hi Chris, I have heard some of the universal mounts have proved to be a bit problematic. RA manufacture a whole series of mounts to suit the Casios, drop me a PM with what you are looking to mount onto and I’ll get pricing over. Thanks, Mark
plexer Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 M3 if they're the same as the XJ-A130 http://www.edugeek.net/forums/av-multimedia-related/56929-casio-xj-a130-mounting-point-thread-size.html Ben
carvjo Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Hi - They are M3 thread size, I believe.. I have just bought a TechMount TM-CC Projector Ceiling Mount from Projector Ceiling Mounts and brackets for projectors from Projector Point - this comes with every size mounting bolt you could need..
Jay_Jay Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I met with a company a few weeks ago who had made their own mount, it was fully adjustable and looked great, I have attached a pdf of their flyer, they should be able to give you the info you need. 110131192626.pdf
john Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 The Sahara generic mounts also have all the bits you need for the Casios as I've used them with them fine.
teejay Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 We have the RA mounts from CP-Ltd, they're fantastic and very easy to install. If mounting onto an existing pole, they do different fixings so just make sure you get the right ones. We did try fiddling around with existing or universal mounts, complete waste of time.
Cools Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 i put a order in b4 xmas for mouting kits and RA Just cause so many problems it took over 7 weeks to sort out they keep telling me what do not do a 0.25M pole kits (there web sit says they do) and then they sent the wrong stuff out.. Not a happy person.. but i have all the right stuff and lots of wrong size poles.
jtotheb Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 The Unicol universal gap plates also work with the Casios and come with a small enough screw and washer.
lew_bob Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 The Sahara generic mounts also have all the bits you need for the Casios as I've used them with them fine. Another vote for the above here. The Sahara kits, simply work, have everything included for easy installation.
Chris_ Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 The Sahara generic mounts also have all the bits you need for the Casios as I've used them with them fine. We've used these Sahara mounts also and had all the screws and bits required to mount the Casio projectors.
SimpleSi Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Or of course you can use a piece of mdf to interface between the Casio and your existing mount - just need some 3mm bolts and you in business for about £1 see JS Enterprises (or their Chorley branch offshoot for details Si 1

VS a scrap bit of MDF from the DT Department and the bolts from my large box of Sahara Mount Spares School very happy with the much cheaper projector fitment price and it didn't touch the asbestos ceiling so the LA H&S People very happy.
Chunky Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 Our site manager had been making open box sections , so they could sit on the shelf inside, but it was too expensive timewise, so we're looking at Universal mounts for the 50mm poles they're attached to at the moment. So far, been quoted £190 for 4 mounts, but there was no clarification on the fitments to the projector.
