    Thank you for posting this. It helped solve a huge problem of a stage projector that was not filling enough space. The images are slightly blurry, but from the audience you can't really tell. Your method really did the trick. Thanks again.

    What a great idea, I had just purchased a 6000 lumen projector and was going to invest in a short throw projector. I happen to have some lenses , tried it and my problem is solved. Thanks!

    I use my projector with a piece of acrylic mirror I have the projector facing away from the screen it project's onto the mirror and then you can tilt the angle and you can change the mirroring left right in the settings of the projector it gave me a bigger image for the distance projected which looks great and I only have a cheap Chinese CRE N1500 projector ! 👍✌️🇬🇧

    A facinating video but at 63" away from the screen you appear to just be making a bigger image at 63" away from the screen which I wonder if this can be considered a short throw projector? or have I missed something.....I mean what size image are you getting at 12 or 15 inches from the screen?.

    Very clever, and I love your lens mount! The pincushion distortion is inherent in the use of a wide angle add-on lens, but it's really not objectionable considering the convenience. All in all, a great idea, executed beautifully.

  • @ThomasGrillo

  • @peacekeeper4528
    @peacekeeper4528 Před 4 lety

    some SMART short throw projectors use a small mirror in front of the lens. My Hitachi ultra short throw projector uses a small curved mirror in front of the lens. Multiple companies use a mirror to create a short throw and ultra short throw image reflect the image. So I'm a little confused as why you state you would need a large mirror.

    Hi, how you make it perfectly in focus? I buy similar lens and it's work - image is bigger (around 100-110 inch without lens and around 140-150 inch with it). I can make image perfectly focused on the center, but it's blurry on the edges, and if I try to focus on one of the sides it's unfocused on the other. How to make it focused both on the center and the edges?

    • @mrgreenfull3897

      Only solution is to have a curved screen with "belly" in the center in this case. This way you will have good focus and straight picture

      @KA-sx3sc Před 6 lety

      Andrea - may be a little late but you may also try using a mirror. I just saw a video about that before landing on this vid... the upshot is you get a mirror, point your projector at it and let the reflected image show on your projector screen. You just have to set it to mirror image and mess with the keystones.
