After starting with the projector, the most important thing to consider is to start with accessories. There must be a projector with a curtain, but there is also a bracket that users are recommended to buy. So how to choose a projector bracket?

Projector bracket selection factors

The choice of projector bracket is not random. Its decisive factor depends on the size of the projection screen, and of course, the size of your screen. This determines where and how you mount the bracket.

1. Installation position: that is, the position where the projector is placed. The projection ratio of a projector is 1.2:1. If a projection picture of 100 inches is projected, the distance between the projector and the screen is about 2.66 meters.

2. Installation mode: the installation mode includes lifting, front mounting, side projection, rear projection, etc.; general users will choose lifting front projection and front mounting front projection, and there will also be side projection front mounting when the environment is limited, which is selected according to the home mounting environment.

Projector bracket selection strategy

The selection of projector bracket here starts from the type of bracket. At present, the projector bracket on the market is mainly divided into hoisting bracket, floor bracket and desktop bracket. This is also the most commonly used bracket scheme for home projector at present. There are many ways to install the bracket. Let's talk about it.

How to choose a projector bracket or support?

1. Floor bracket
The floor bracket, also known as the vertical bracket, is composed of the base, the expansion rod and the platform. The advantages of the floor bracket are that it can move, stretch and rotate 360 degrees; disadvantages: the bracket base is bulky and the movement is complex.

Applicable scene: the floor bracket is more suitable for scenes with inconvenient hoisting and large living room area. If the living room is relatively large, the bracket can be placed in front of the curtain without blocking the user's viewing. In addition, it is also the best choice for side projection, which will generally place the projector on the side of the sofa. But one problem is that it is difficult to measure the projection distance in the side projection mode.

2. Desktop bracket

The desktop bracket has the advantages of movable, retractable and adjustable angle of the floor bracket. It is also composed of the chassis and the pan tilt. The appearance design is very elegant. Disadvantages: poor bearing and limited retractable angle.

Applicable scene: it is more suitable for small living room; it can be directly placed on the tea table or bedside table without affecting the viewing. Of course, many high-quality desktop brackets can also support 360 degree rotation and elevation. This kind of bracket is very suitable for rental housing.

3. Hoisting bracket

The hoisting bracket is subdivided. Hoisting can be divided into wall mounted hoisting and ceiling mounted hoisting. The biggest defect of hoisting is that it does not have mobility, and loading and unloading is relatively complex; the advantage is that the installation is relatively stable, and the viewing effect is small.

Applicable scene of wall hanging hoisting: wall hanging hoisting is generally installed on the wall opposite to the curtain, which needs to be at a higher position. For specific scenes, please refer to the following figure.

Ceiling mounted lifting applicable scenario: the bracket is fixed on the ceiling top, and the projector is mostly installed upside down, reminding that if the living room in the home is equipped with a larger ceiling lamp or the ceiling lamp with a lower suspension is not suitable for ceiling mounted lifting. Please refer to the figure below for specific scenarios.

The above is what kind of direct and better purchase strategies are used to share when an individual is buying a home theater. At last, for various reasons, I chose a desktop stand. The current living room conditions can only meet my need to place it on the desktop. At the same time, it has strong mobile performance and can also be placed in the bedroom.
