Three Types Of Stands To Protect Your XGIMI Projector
By XGIMI Tech - 2022-02
Have you faced difficulties in setting up your XGIMI projector for viewing your favorite movie?
You might be debating where to place the projector and screen for comfortable viewing.
If indoors, you would want to locate a flat surface so that the projector stays steady. Sometimes you would think of using a table necessitating rearrangement of the various furniture items.
If outdoors, you would need to contend with uneven ground in the front or backyard. It is often difficult to place a table in such conditions.
More importantly, whenever you want to view your favorite video, you have to go through the same rigmarole of finding a place for your projector so that it stays steady without causing any disturbance for an excellent viewing experience.
You can now put such concerns behind you as XGIMI offers stands on which to place the projector. It offers three different stands suitable for XGIMI projectors.
Utility Of Using A Projector Stand
When you use a carefully designed stand for your projector such as a mini projector tripod, you reap various benefits depending on the purpose for which you are using the projector.
1. Office
Typically, you use a projector for audiovisual presentations in a conference room where most parameters remain constant. When you use a stand, you can begin presentations almost immediately without waiting for any adjustment. You reduce setup time substantially. This allows you to fine-tune your presentation rather than waste precious time on trying to find the perfect set up place or worrying about having to readjust after.
2. Home Viewing
You can say goodbye to frantic search for a good place to place the projector. You would also do minimal rearrangement of the furniture. Furthermore, a mini projector tripod offers stability for the projector to screen movies or videos or presentations without shaking or jerking.

3. Outdoor Viewing
Often, when the weather is conducive, you would want to watch movies in your front or backyard. With a portable projector stand to place your projector on, the movie that you watch would be an excellent viewing experience because the projector has a stable platform provided by the portable stand.
