Hi all,

I am getting a lot of movies in the mail today and just realized that when I have a longer throw, the image seems to be unstable (a lot of gentle up and down, as if in a car on a bumpy ride) ... I guess it isn't noticeable when using a long throw lens in a short throw situation as it wasn't bad at all before. I have a screening party this weekend where a lot of friends are going to be around and I will have a big room with a long throw so was hoping if anyone could PLEASE PLEASE lemme know if they have any suggestions. Thanks again and hope you are all having a good weekend !!!

Best,
ET

It's all in the threading and tension setting, Vidar my friend ... If you follow the illustrated red lines for threading to the t, you will have a very stable picture ... Please lemme know if you need more info on this (I didn't know you had a Pageant btw ...). Also, I was real excited to hear how you found the rest of my prints but you totally disappeared ... Your turn, good sir, so "please do tell !!!"...

ET

Not sure I ever need it, but if I do get my Pageant fixed, it's nice to know :-)

Thanks
