[QUOTE="OnlineDM, post: 5282078, member: 90804"] Good news: The new rig is done! Well, almost - I'm still waiting for the actual projector mount to arrive, so I currently have it rigged with (ahem) coat hangers. But the thing works! Picture below, more details [URL="http://onlinedm.wordpress.com/2010/08/14/building-a-simple-portable-rpg-projector-setup/"]on the blog[/URL]. The summary is that I went with the single-pole design. [LIST] [*]Heavy board, about 12" square, for the base [*]Screw a flange for 1" galvanized pipe to the base [*]Attach a 36" long, 1" diameter galvanized pipe to the flange [*]Attach a 90" angle, a 2" pipe and another flange to the top [*]Screw that top flange to another chunk of wood [*]Screw the projector mount to the other side of that top chunk of wood (or, as I'm currently doing, use coat hangers) [*]Put a 30-pound sandbag around the base of the rig, sitting on the base plate, with more of the weight on the side opposite the projector. [/LIST] It's inexpensive (about $60 for the whole rig), portable and surprisingly stable. I can't wait to put it into action! Thanks everyone for your help - I'm really happy with the results.
