Know before you buy
The motorized zoom allows you to adjust the image size remotely using your projector's controls, rather than physically moving the projector or manually twisting the lens barrel. It is particularly useful if your projector is mounted on a ceiling or in a hard-to-reach location.
No, this lens is not universal. It is designed specifically for compatible Optoma projector models. You should verify your specific projector's model number against the compatibility list in your user manual or the Optoma website before purchasing.
This throw ratio means that for every foot of image width, you need between 1.0 and 1.28 feet of distance from the screen. It offers a flexible range that works well in most standard-sized rooms, allowing you to fine-tune the image size without needing to relocate the projector mount.
The lens is designed for straightforward installation, but it does require precision. Because it is a motorized component, ensure the projector is powered off during the physical attachment process to prevent any damage to the internal gears or alignment mechanisms.
No, the motorized zoom is designed to maintain optical clarity throughout the adjustment range. It simply provides a more precise and convenient way to achieve the correct image size compared to manual adjustments.
