SkyRail Sliding Ceiling Projector Mount

Description:

The SkyRail Sliding Projector Mount is designed to simplify projector placement for golf simulators. This versatile mount allows you to slide your projector along a ceiling track, making it easy to find the perfect distance from the screen without difficult adjustments. The mount is compatible with any projector and screen setup and is available in multiple sizes to meet varying installation needs, including stud or drywall attachment options. With adjustable tilt and leveling features, this mount ensures precise image alignment, ideal for creating a realistic golf simulation experience.

SkyRail offers two main mounting options: a universal projector mount suitable for projectors up to 25 pounds and a heavy-duty plate for larger projectors. This mount also supports use in dual aspect ratios, allowing a smooth transition between 4:3 and 16:9 or 16:10 formats—perfect for both golf simulation and home theater use.

For even more durability, the optional ProjectorShield cage protects against ball or club strikes, making the SkyRail an ideal choice for active indoor golf environments.
