[QUOTE="OnlineDM, post: 5281912, member: 90804"] I'm afraid I'm still having a hard time picturing exactly how this mirror will be mounted, despite your description. It sounds like you're suggesting I put a longish board on top of a camera tripod, put the projector on that board, and put the mirror a short distance in front of it on that same board, angled so that the projector image will hit the mirror and then go down. This would imply a large hole drilled in the board somewhere between the lens and the mirror for the reflected image to go down through... and it still doesn't help me understand what is holding the mirror at the 45 degree angle. I'm sure what you're saying makes perfect sense if I could just visualize it, but I'm having a hard time doing so. Also, my friend who works with projectors professionally assures me that mounting it vertically will not cause any damage from inadequate heat dissipation. Several people here on EN World have warned me otherwise, but I'm going to trust my friend. Maybe he's wrong, and if so I'll be ruining my projector in a hurry, but that's the risk I'm running. In other news, I've finished building my rig - everything except for the projector mount itself, which is on its way in the mail. Exciting times! [/QUOTE]
