Line laser shooting across ceiling meeting your center mark on wall. We use these for centering potlights in long corridors. Works like a charm.

I also use it for speaker setup... and floor flex testing, hanging tvs. What a nerd, eh? laugh

OK, pictures for Mark.
Mounting track and mount:


Projector temporarily mounted:


I know, I know, "Fred you gotta pull out that level and straighten out the picture."

Fancy leveling jig:


The level was on sale at Canadian Tire for $50. I like that it has both a clamp and a tripod mount. You can set this thing up just about anywhere.

Wow! Great deal.

And great job so far.

If your pj has a built in test screen pattern it is slick for squaring up a picture. The epson one looks like a giant reticule. I just shoot the cross line laser at center width and height of the screen. Then shift the image center to meet the laser accordingly. Zoom to fit. Done.

Yeah for pics! grin
