There is not much but I am still worried
Answer
I've been doing audio / video for longer than I care to admit, but let me tell you about one scenario that still gives me nightmares to this day. It all depends on the focal length of the lense and the size of the screen in order to decide where to mount the projector. In order to get the best picture, you want the projector to completly fill the screen and be as bright as possible (the closer the brighter). Wherever this optimum spot may be, the amount of vibration you will notice greatly depends on how and where the projector is mounted. For instance, a projector mounted between two main support beams for the building will have much less vibration effect than one mounted directly to a support beam. My nightmarish scenario was that this church had a projector mounted to the wall of an upstairs balcony. Anytime anyone would walk upstairs the projector vibrated. There are many companies that make shock absorbing mounts for projectors, but unfortunately, the majority of them are not astheticly pleasing. Most of them make your projector resemble a helicoptor and are tedius to adjust. Our solution to the vibration problem was to mount it to the ceiling instead of the balcony wall. After hours of gathering and setting up scaffolding to accomplish this, and rerouting all the video cables and power to the projector, much to our dismay, it still vibrated, although not as bad, anytime anyone would walk upstairs because the balcony was attached and supported by the same support beam that happened to be the optimum place to mount the projector to. So to really answer your question, there are options out there, but depending upon the structural stability of the building and the severity of the vibration, you may not be able to eliminate it 100 percent, but you'll never know until you try it. As far as I'm aware of, there isn't a projector on the market with vibration correction. The worst part about it is that a large amount of vibation can play a huge role in the life of the projector lamp and any good projector (not one from Best Buy or Circuit City) is gonna cost roughly $250-$650 to replace the lamp. Just try to use a mounting method that is least destructive and can be easily patched if the projector needs to move.

home projector?
Mr. Nice G
does anyone know what the projctor beam shape looks like after it leaves the projector to the screen? I want to know at what distance my head would get in the way of the projection path
Answer
Some projectors can be mounted on the ceiling while some of them on the shelf on the back wall. Depending on how close you will be sitting to screen and how far behind you will mount projector, but usually, if mounted a foot above your head while standing up, there should be no problems. Size of the projected screen will also play a role, smaller screen size will mean narrow beam of light.
