Is it worth it to buy an overhead projector to project slides?

I want to know if the picture is a lot worse or smaller than a regular slide projector. Can I zoom into the picture of the slide to fill the whole screen?

It would be a lot worse than a regular slide projector. No, you can’t zoom on any overhead I’ve seen. On the screen you will have a little tiny image of the slide in the middle of a big white area.

If you want to project slides, use a slide projector.

Selecting a Caera Tripod Part #1 - Learn General Information about Tripods before purchasing.

http://www.clickherephotographytips.com Camera tripods had been used the decades to ist photographers with creating their very unique images. I tripod is an essential item that every photographer should have regardless of the level of experience as they offer support for the camera and they can be used in varying degrees of lighting for example at night, or; for landscape photography

Not all tripods are created the same, as there are many different varieties of tripod. Some of these include a mini tripod, Compact tripod and professional tripod for studio or location work. As tripods are different also are some tripod heads, for example some tripod heads are used in the television and movie industries to provide support to their very heavy equipment. Other tripod heads are designed to support a variety of different cameras, everything from smaller compact digital cameras, 35mm cameras, digital cameras and medium format cameras all the way up to large format cameras.

I have also seen tripods that are used to support other items such as Overhead Projectors, slide projectors, video cameras, binoculars and telescopes.

Tripods are manufactured by a variety of companies some of these include Manfrotto, Velbon, Gitzo, Bogen, Slik, Dynatran etc and each provide somewhat similar functions.

What's the best way to hook up an overhead projector to a laptop?

I'm looking to purchase and install a ceiling mounted projector, but have no idea how to run my laptop through it when it's 12 feet over my head. I would install it against the back wall of my room but would prefer to have the laptop with me near the front of the room (about 30feet away). Any Ideas?

Look on eBay for a "50-foot SVGA cable" (with two MALE ends)…You can get a good one for around $10 - $20…The hard thing is running the cable up the wall and across the ceiling…Make sure it's at least 6 inches from the power wire.

(SVGA can also be called "RGB")

Printing on transparency for overhead projector?

Need some help. I have today to print transparencies to use with an overhead projector. Problem is….. printers don't print white. I have never used an Overhead Projector. Do they have a white background so my white areas will be white and not see-through?

Be sure to print right side of trans sheet but yes it they show white
I wont gurantee quality when you print use best setting so you get more ink on trans sheet

How do you make an overhead projector? What is the best approach?

I make stencils for my art and am limited to regual size sheet of paper. I would like to expand the size of these stencils to fully fit shirts and other things. If there is no way to make a projector and you know of good places to find ones for cheap then let me know please. It will be much appreciated. Thank you.

ok. you'll need :
-a light source preferably halogen.
-a lens or refracting prism.
-a distortion free mirror
-a white sheet (projection screen)
-an enclosure with fan

place the ingredients into the enclosure and mix. let sit for 4mins and use as required.
