Title: Suggestions for a solid projector stand for mobile
Post by: Mal Brown on July 19, 2019, 12:06:06 PM
Looking about I’m not seeing a combination of portable and solid.   Height needs to be in the 4’ range.  Budget is a couple of hun tops.  Beginning to think about cutting wood and that is probably a terrible idea ;-)

Still have all fingers and toes, wood like to keep it that way...


And yes, that was intended...

They make tripod projector stands.  You can get an AV cart from a school used equipment dealer.  Road case works too in a pinch.  If nice gig toss some black drape over it

Da-Lite makes a couple of nice projector stands. They break down compactly, and are very adjustable for non-level floors.

Projecto-stand models 203 and 425.

How large/heavy of projector do you need to support?

How about a 4' stick of box truss with the appropriate base and top plates?  Granted it's a bit bulky in transit, but looks professional and is more than capable of doing the job.

I like the Screenworks E-Z Fold Equipment tower.
-light, small yet sturdy.  Goes together like a fast-fold screen frame with plywood top and drape cover
Sturdy enough for speakers too and can enclose a sub.

This will mount on any 35mm speaker stand. K&M 26747 (https://www.k-m.de/us/products/speaker-lighting-and-monitor-stands-and-holders/monitor-stands/26747-projector-tray-black)

I like K&M 26734 (https://www.k-m.de/us/products/speaker-lighting-and-monitor-stands-and-holders/speaker-stands/26734-speaker-stand-black?c=243)

If pretty isn't critical, bolt it to the top of a 4' fiberglass stepladder. (Wood ladders tend to not be stiff enough.)

And then drape the ladder?

Projector-Stand for the win...   One popped up on the Portland, O
R CL and I snagged it.  I think I’m going to dril a hole, dead center and arrange an eye bolt for a 50lb weight.   That should hold it down no matter what...

I'm glad you found something that will work for you. You might want to double check the load rating on that sucker ... 125 lbs max IIRC. Unless you have a load distribution plate for the weight, I'd worry about supporting that 50 lbs. point loading. Maybe a steel plate to sit atop the surface of the platform would work and give you enough mass for stability.  Use the hole you drill for a locator pin in the steel plate, with a flathead socket cap screw as the locator pin.
