Also wanted to say that these parts work for Epson Powerlite Pro Cinema 800 as well. That should cover the 720, 400, 810, etc models as well.

Very nice... I'm curious about the mounting hole spacing - don't know if I need a new mount or not? Did you mention the size of screws that attach the mount to the projector? May I suggest loctite...

@BifStu the screws that attach the mount to the projector are the screws that came with the mount. I don't recall which ones they are, but you can check the manual to see which screws they are.

BTW, the screws to the projector are M4 9mm but I was able to use M4 70s from home depot which fit perfectly.

Thanks for this. This was an easy mod and the total cost was under $10 for the extra parts. These videos and Monoprice's customer service are exactly why I keep shopping there. Now, if you would please open a east coast distribution center... :)

Thank you! This helped me quite a bit and saved me some cash, which is always good.

Just wanted to say thanks for such an in depth how too. With a little humor in there as well. I have mounted another projector prior to this, but the information about what parts to use was invaluable. I had the idea to extend the arms somehow, but this save me a lot of time and effort. Thanks so much!
