I'm thinking of using this with a 10' wide video screen backdrop at trade show booths, which are only 8' deep...will this work? Does it have a short enough throw to project a 10' wide image from only 7-8 feet away?

At 8' feet with the lens adjusted as large as it will go this projector throws a W:67.5" x H:38.5" at 1920 x 1080 resolution for me. I'm not sure what aspect ratio your screen is, but this will leave you with considerable white space at 8' throw on a 10' wide screen. Also, this projector is fairly bulky and the fan is noticeably loud. Though it does a great job of exhausting hot air, this may be a negative if you or your potential customers are stuck standing by it. It does work well when the circumstances favor it, however I would suggest you consider more alternatives given the provided scenario. Take a look at the following link, particularly "Example 2": http://www.theprojectorpros.com/learn-s-learn-p-theater_throw_ratios.htm

Keep in mind short or ultra short throw projectors (1.5ft to 4ft) may complicate the installation

This mount will adjust to absolutely any angle you need. If you are in a tight spot, then this is the mount for you. If you need to angle the projector "down" then you need a longer mount...one with a "down rod" preferably...Angling the image downward will cause a distortion, or trapezoid. It can be "corrected" with the keystone function, but that should be a last ditch attempt. You are far better off getting the right mount that will put your projector at the correct height for your screen.

The projector doesn't really matter because they all are adjustable when it comes to the size of the picture they project. The screen you are looking at will accept an 8 foot image. If you are looking to project a bigger image they do make screens that are larger in size.I have this screen and it works great for me. We use it outdoors and can watch a movie from over 50 feet away and no one has a problem seeing the picture.

Not likely. Mine is mounted on a ten foot ceiling. And my picture doesnt start until below 8 foot. You use the keystone adjust to account for trapezooidal effect. The projector does however require a fairly specific ceiling mount.

I didn't actually check the extremes so I probably can't give you a great answer. Have you checked out one of these calculators? http://www.projectorcentral.com/projection-calculator.cfm....It was helpful for me. I can tell you I'm projecting from around 14 ft and it looks great on a 133" diagonal screen. There's a decent discussion that helped me here: http://www.avsforum.com/t/1271155/throw-distance-optoma-hd20 Hope that helps!

I use this projector on a 100" screen and it works well. But for 16' wide you will need better res. I also of have a Epson 3010e on a 200" screen and it's leaps and bounds a better.

Iʻve tried it, unfortunately I donʻt have a photo sorry. But I can say it "sort of" works. Depending on how tall the walls are, it doesnʻt throw as far up the wall as I hoped. It just doesnʻt have enough throw. I used it as an uplight against a white wall that was about 20ʻ high, and it got "lost" after about 10-12ʻ. It does however work fine as an uplight on my speaker scrims, so if youʻre a DJ, looking for an affordable solution to lighting your scrims...this is good. Also good for a light wash on a small area...maybe 10ʻ to 15ʻ feet. If youʻre looking to uplight high walls... youʻd be better of spending the extra $50 bucks and buy the American DJ Mega Par Profile RGB LED, or the Chauvet version. I believe theyʻre both $99 or less. Iʻve tried it, unfortunately I donʻt have a photo sorry. But I can say it "sort of" works.

Couple of questions.1. Is your projector a short throw or long?2. What is your desired screen size?

I actually set my projector about 8 feet from the screen that I have to do power point presentations on. I don't think that you will have a problem focusing from a shorter distance.

For the HD25 to throw an 80" image the lens of the projector has to be minimum of 8ft 9in but can be as far back as 10ft 6in. Since that is from the lens of the projector and the projector mount would be slightly back from that you should be just about right. If you can move it ahead about 3 inches it would perfect. Good luck.

Yes. I would also call this more of an "Ultra Short Throw" projector given that it is best installed at roughly 2 feet away from the wall it is projecting on to.

Again, it all depends on how big your screen is. I use mine at about 5ft and get about a 5ft diagonal picture. Remember this is a short throw projector.

I would say yes, if there wasn't a lot of ambient light and your were projecting too far. We have used ours for outdoor viewing and it worked well. (approx. 10ft throw, 70 inch diag)

This is a very thin plastic stand. I don't think it would hold the weight of a projector. It is 8" long by 5" wide. It only weighs 6 oz.

It would definately work for a small or even large setting. I filled a 6' x 6' screen with it today in bright lighting and it was just slightly dim. I am using a windows based laptop but the instructions also provide set up for IOS based devices like the MacBook. I can use my iPad with the HDMI cable and the lightening to HDMI Apple adapter and it works fine.

We use this projector in our church and get about 10' at about 15' from the screen. We have several short throw projectors from Infocus IN3619 I think that project a10' screen at about 5'. It is about twice the price. Many projector manufacturers build short through projectors you just need to check out their website.
