Installation
Simple Setup, Precise Results
1. Mark Your Position
Determine where the projector needs to sit based on your throw distance and screen position. Use the ceiling plate as a template to mark drill holes.
2. Secure the Ceiling Plate
Mount the ceiling plate directly into ceiling joists or use appropriate anchors. The also supports vaulted ceiling installations.
3. Set the Drop Height
Adjust the telescoping arm between 22.7 and 32.9 inches based on your ceiling height and desired projector position.
4. Mount and Align
Attach your projector, then use +/-30-degree rotation and +/-20-degree pitch and roll to dial in the perfect image alignment.
How It Compares
Optoma vs BenQ Ceiling Mount
Both ceiling mounts are priced at $99. Here is how they compare:
Rotation+/-30 degrees (vs BenQ 360 degrees)
Tilt Range+/-20 degrees pitch and roll
Weight Capacity33 lbs (vs BenQ 55.1 lbs)
Best ForOptoma projectors (purpose-built fit)
The BenQ mount offers wider rotation and higher capacity, but the is purpose-built for Optoma projectors with features like vaulted ceiling compatibility, wall-mount capability, and quick disconnect. If you are running an Optoma projector, this is the mount designed for it.

How far from the ceiling can I mount the projector?

What tools do I need to install the ?
You will need a drill, a stud finder, a level, and a Phillips screwdriver. All mounting hardware for ceiling attachment is included in the box. For drywall-only installations without joists, use appropriate toggle bolts rated for your projector's weight.

Pair this mount with one of our Optoma short-throw projectors for a clean, professional ceiling installation.
The mount did not attach easily to the projector that you sold with it.
Also, it is very disappointing that it takes a week, just to get the screen/enclosure into the delivery system.
Store owner replied:
Brice, thank you for the order, and sorry the mount gave you a fight.
The OCM815W is Optoma's universal mount, and universal is exactly why it does not line up out of the box. The arms sit on the circular center plate and slide and rotate independently. You loosen them, balance them out against the ZW350ST's mounting holes, then tighten them down. Any hole pattern works, but no pattern comes preset. Give us a call at (888) 871-6110 and we will walk you through it in a couple of minutes.
On the enclosure, the Carl's Place Enclosure is built to order rather than pulled off a shelf, and that build normally runs about a week before it enters the delivery system. Yours fell across the Labor Day long weekend, which added a few days. It shipped and is still on track for Friday, September 11, the date we confirmed with you when we spoke.
Thanks for trusting us with the Garmin R50 build. Call us any time as you put the room together.
Top Shelf Golf is simply the best in the business. I enjoy doing business with Ivan who is extremely knowledgeable of the newest golf equipment and he gives the best customer service.
Adding the projector and the protective cover has taken my practice setup in my garage to new level. The projector brightness is great. I don't have to swing in a dark room to see the results on the screen.
The Optoma GT2000HDR Short Throw Golf Simulator Projector does exactly as advertised! It's easy to set up and delivers more than enough light during a room-lighted golf simulator swing session. I use it daily with my iPad Pro and an HDMI to USB-C adapter. The quality is great and there is no noticeable lag! This is hands-down a no-brainer!
Working well have the project offsite from swing path keystone and corner adjustments are great. I have my in a protective cage and picture in perfect. We even watch movies and sports.
Highly recommend!!!
Plenty bright for my 8ft high 16/10 screen. Note: it was easy to set my Nvidia desktop gpu (I imagine amd and intel desktop gpu cards have this as well), through the “control panel”, to the exact 16/10 resolution of 3456x2160 then my apps, like gspro, had that as a selectable resolution.
It has great tools to adjust the shape and size of the image to perfectly adjust to fit the screen borders. I didn’t notice much (any?) impact to image quality using those image adjust features features. I tried to mount the projector perfectly so I didn’t have to use any image adjustments but decided as a short throw projector I would not be able to do that as tiny mounting changes had major image impacts.
My garage sim leaks a lot of daylight. Originally I had picked up a 3000 lumen 1080p Optoma but it just didn’t cut it. So happy I upgraded. The graphics are outstanding and the extra brightness means I can use it during the day and get a great picture. The unit does run hot, especially with the protective cover, so I added a floor fan nearby to keep the air moving. 10/10 would buy again.

Hi Stacy -
Please check out our floor mount cover for the projector, it has a built in fan. If you want to get our ProGuard cover, you won't have to use an external fan to cool down the projector.

The staff at Top Shelf Golf were great to work with they were very patient and very helpful in buying the right projector and mount to go with what i was building thank you Blake
Great experience. I had some questions about the various resolution options for this 4k projector in different image formats (primarily 4:3), and an actual human answered the phone and told me everything I needed to know. I ordered the projector and it shipped ASAP. Could not be happier with the upgrade. I went from the Optoma EH200ST to the 4k400stx. In 4:3, its about 3 times the pixel density and 30% brighter. My sim is now at 2880:2160 at 60 frames on Ultra settings in GSPRO. The difference coming from 1600:1200 is very noticeable. The throw ratios were the same, so I was able to use the current projector mount with no issues. It does take quite a gaming rig to run this. I am using a GTX 3080TI, and it works flawlessly. Guessing you could go to a slightly lower card, but not much, if you want a 4k gaming experience with a stable framerate. Would certainly by from them again.
The ZH406STx works great and is easy to setup. Support was great when I had questions and were very fast with a response. I used the side shift availability to maximize the space and it works great.
The shipping was fast.
Does the job. Wish to screen came out any more square picture. Whether on the ground or mounted to the ceiling, the edges taper down or up. Would prefer aWish the screen came out in a more square picture. Whether on the ground or mounted to the ceiling, the edges taper, down or up. Would prefer a nice square picture to fit the screen perfectly.
Store owner replied:
Hi Peter, you can either move the projector to about 5' away from the screen to cover the horizontal screen area at 4:3 aspect ratio with a smaller picture size or if you want to keep the projector where it is now, you can go to NVidia control panel and create a custom display resolution with reduced width so that the projected image doesn't violate the borders of the screen on left and right.
Great projection and works both for golf and can be hooked up to another source for movie night or sports on a giant screen! I have it hooked into an amplifier and speakers which enhances the golf and the movie capabilities! Highly recommended👍!
This is a great piece of equipment but ultimately we went with a floor protective case due to lack of ceiling height.
Thank you to everyone at Top Shelf Golf,

I ordered the Skytrak Perfect Bay golf simulator package, everything showed up within about a week and we couldn’t be any happier with it. The entire family enjoys playing on the system and it has really made the extra garage a new addition to the home. I’m very hopeful that this equipment can slowly help improve my game which is in serious need for improvement.
Thank you to everyone at Top Shelf Golf,
