NOOB projection question

[jaylighting]

Ok, I am planning to do projection this year. My Projector will arrive this week, and so will my DeerTV enclosure. I need to keep my projector outside and have it NOT move because I have heard that once you outline your house and apply the mappings, if the projector moves, you need to start over.

So, I have a weather proof case, BUT I have a lower roof that sticks out. I think if I raise the projector high enough it will shine on the full 2nd story face. In order to do that, I think the projector would need to be about 6' off the ground. How does everyone deal with that? I thought about a tri-pod. The DeerTV box will mount to a vesa 100 mount. the mounting screws are on the bottom, all tripods I have seen are for like TVs, which is 90 degrees wrong.

the other part of me thinks, eh, just let it sit on a table and ignore that the lower 2' of the upper wall is blocked...

any guidance is greatly appreciated. OH, it gets pretty cold and windy here with lots of snow.

Hi,

I don't do projections, unless it is my insecurities, but for a stand I would most likely build something a little more solid out of 2x4s and some sealed plywood. With the stand you could make it whatever height you wanted but then be able to better secure it into the ground with stakes or even sandbags to hold it in place.

There was a youtube video that I watched where they did something like that and it seemed to work well.
