[cknapper]

Hi all,

 

Can you help me. I'm looking to attach a Sanyo PLC XT25 to a Apollo right arm http://www.internetapollo.com/Products/View/2852.aspx[/url] but crnt find a bracket to do this with.

 

Any thoughts on this will be grateful.

Try getting hold of someone at Unicol..they will either have a bracket to fit or will be able to custom make a bracket for you. linky http://www.unicol.com/

 

After looking at the right arm, please take into account that most projector lamps are designed to work with max and min tilt angles...(either way up!) Long periods of the wrong angle will cause (probably) lamp failure or worse.

a quick and easy way to make a mounting plate,

take you projector and photo copy the base of it to get a template of the mounting points.

 

use this template to cut/drill out a sheet of some suitable sheet of steel and drill out mounting holes that will fit the right arm

Also bear in mind that the zoom and focus don't have indexing, so it may be hard to achieve repeatability in the zoom and focus over changing cues when recalling 'presets'. Otherwise it looks like a useful product I'd heard of but never looked at.

OT, but speaking as someone who has two of these on the FOH gantry we do stage 'specials' from, they are extremely useful when the lead vocalists decide to not stand where you focussed the lanterns to pre-show!
