I have an UST, could not get the calibration right gave up. My husband purchased this projector for the same setup; Up an running in an hour. Thank you, for teaching a senior new tricks. Your videos are clear and filled with information. I have cut a few children’s patterns and they came out perfect.

In reply to Hill Jacqueline. Glad it was helpful! Any non-transparent, mat with a grid works well for calibration and cutting!

You are welcome! Yes, people have used a tension rod with a mini projector. Instead of the quick release mount, you will want something that can extend over the table a little bit. (Mini projectors have an “inside” offset, which means they need to be over the table a little bit). This is the one I’ve seen people using https://amzn.to/3NuCyKO.

Thank-you Sheredth! I really appreciate your detailed instructions and videos. I purchased and watched most of your Complete Projector Confidence Course. Thank you! It’s very good. I purchased your Top Choice Mini projector and a Niche mount, but now I’m regretting my choice because I really do want a larger image size. I’ve decided to not mount it and keep looking for another projector with a larger image size. My question is this: Can I use the shower tension rod and Quick release clamp (recommended for the DIY Ditto projector) with the Mini projector I purchased? My thought is I could get started using the projector I purchased with a smaller image size on a temporary mount while I try and figure out what to buy next.

Thanks for this informative and balanced comparison Sheredith! I really like the clean look of your DIY setup and now that I’ve started using my own DIY projector setup, I would never be without the freedom of tailoring (any of) my patterns digitally before cutting into fabric. I appreciate all the knowledge and experience you share here and on Facebook.
