5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly easy set up & IT WORKS!
The cabinet my AWOL projector was sitting on had just a bit more empty space between it and the soundbar/motorized screen "assembly" that I made than I wanted. Due to price and being uncertain about complexity of integrating it into my set up I was hesitant, but finally bought it. No regrets. It was easy to set up and functioned perfectly with the AWOL projector's USB port in the back. I was worried since the USB port on the side controled the Vivid Storm motorized floor screen. It was also easy to set how far tray moved. It is what I would call very precise. Overall improves the look and functionality of the projection system.
4.0 out of 5 stars Solidly Built, Very Quiet, Poor Instructions
First of all, the build quality on this sliding tray is excellent in my opinion. It feels solid, sturdy, has weight to it and opens/closes with a steady hum that I could barely hear while standing in a room with no other observable sounds. I consider my automatic floor to ceiling rising ALR screen to be quiet and it makes 2-3 times more noise than this tray. Additionally, the tray works just as you expect and “remembers” the extended position you want it to be in if you let it sit for 30 seconds.InstructionsMy primary problem with this device is the very poor job they did providing instructions on how to attach the brackets used to secure the tray to either your wall or your tv cabinet.First of all, the “instructions” sheet does a great job of providing information about the slider (length, width, loading capacity, etc.). It does a fair job of telling you what parts are in the box since it lists the two brackets but not the “bracket extenders” (at least, that is what I decided to call them) and it says there is one set of screws but there were three different sets of screws, in individual bags with labels on them.From the pictures in the Bolo listing, the brackets appear to be attached directly under the tray and an inch or two inside its edges. This makes it look like the brackets are perfectly flat and bent in kind of an L shape. Well, the ones I received are L shaped but also have a partially raised edge on one side so, the brackets should be installed on the bottom corners of the tray. You can also tell this because that is the only way the mounting holes line up with the brackets.Since, I wanted to attach the tray to my tv stand (and not the wall) I initially tried to install the brackets so that the L shape bent downward but finally figured out that, no matter what your plan is, the bend of the bracket should go up instead. Then, it is the bracket extenders that are installed either up or down.Bags Of Screws I Received1. “Bracket Fixing Screws” - used to attach the brackets to the bottom of the sliding tray and the bracket extenders to the brackets.2. “Head Fixing Screws” - looks like screws that should be used to secure the tray to the wall or tv stand. Since the IKEA TV stand cabinets I was using are made of black melamine, I opted not to use these at all and just came up with an alternative solution I will not describe here. If your cabinet is solid wood, these screws may work for you.3. “Laser TV Fixing Screws” - ?? Perhaps these are used to attach your UST projector to the tray? My non-AWOL Vision projector did not allow for this so, I am only speculating here. The instructions provide no insight on this process nor any explanation for the use of these screws.My guess is that the manufacturer considered the installation of the brackets to be intuitively obvious so, they provided nearly no instruction on how that should be performed. As a technical person, I found the process to be frustrating at first and would have appreciated a few more illustrations showing how the parts, screws, etc. should be assembled. I am taking off 1 star as a result of this.As a contrast, I saw a YouTube video by “All Things Tech” for the Nothing Projector Intelligent UST Sliding Tray and their instructions sheet looked much more helpful and complete — you may want to check that one out as well.All of the sliding trays I have researched have cost about $500 and could stand to be reduced by $200. Seriously, you could build a stationary box out of hardwood, paint or stain it whatever color you like and get the basic functionality of this tray (I.e., sitting your UST projector at the right height and distance from the screen) while saving $420.Finally, this kit comes with a USB cord that you plug into the tray and the other end into your projector so that the tray knows when to slide back and forth. The cable has a standard plastic shielding that rubs against the flat powder coated steel sliding part of the tray.Even though the steel edge is not so sharp that it will cut your finger, it is also not blunt so, I wonder if it will wear away that plastic shielding over time. Since this is all behind the tray/projector and nobody can see it, I plan to buy some clear plastic tubing from Home Depot and cut enough of it to find around the cable wire. This will help me not worry about the cable being damaged over time.Hopefully, this review was helpful to you.
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!!!
The media could not be loaded. If you have an AWOL projector this is the way to go. Easy setup. Matches the projector. Works perfectly. Don’t worry about screen height as you can manual adjust the parameters.
5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Product
The media could not be loaded. I struggled to think I had to give up so much room in my living room with a bulky wall unit so to have the AWOL at just the right position. When I saw that AWOL came out with a motorized slider for their projector, I immediately purchased one. Hurray, this unit is fabulous. Do not hesitate to purchase, you will thank yourself after the purchase. (The sound on the video is the screen not the unit. The motorized slide is absolutely quiet.)
4.0 out of 5 stars Motorized tray learning curve
The motorized tray is very easily moved left and right, even though it appears to use a track. This makes it difficult to adjust projector feet while the tray is extended sine lateral movement impacts picture keystoneTray installation directions must be carefully read. Found it vague.
2.0 out of 5 stars Hums an False Triggers
Not up to my expectations, at this price point, for its practical functionality. Will admit, I'm using this with another UST projector, so maybe functionality would vary if paired with the AWOL projector.Positives:- Sturdy/solid build- Allows to get to exact picture location (when it properly slides out)- Manual adjustment buttons, back and forth if needed- gives some UST placement wiggle room, which can be a pain for USTNegatives:- HUMS....and not just when extended, which i might understand as it might be working to keep weight balanced...but Hums on recessed position as well, and it's noticeable enough to be annoying- False Triggers - it's designed to trigger with a Power On click, which when it's synced is great, hit projector button and it extends to last tray position in the memory....however this thing clicks on randomly and I have no idea what could be triggering it, I've turned off all "sleep/power" saver modes, all voice recognition, thing just triggers and extends-No real software/manual for troubleshooting, no documentation online.-Manual move is a button that you have to hold on to for desired tray extension, no remote optionIn some respects this thing hits the mark, but if you have an alternative to just have the projector in a set place, you might be happy with spending the dollars on that instead. I think I also prefer an option where you manually pull out projector to a locked sliding position. Here you have to manually touch a button and hold till it gets to where you want.
4.0 out of 5 stars Bulky but gets the job done
Works as advertised. Not the best looking unit and is quite bulky but gets the job done
Great for fine tuning position
It's silent, looks good, and is triggered with a USB connection.
Das hatte mir noch gefehlt!!!!
Bin durch Zufall auf awol gestoßen, bin aber sehr zufrieden!!!!Jetzt mache ich den beamer nur noch an und alles stellt sich alleine ein....superEinziger Nachteil ist der Preis...
The faithful partner to your UST projector
Good build quality. Very useful to complete the UST setup
works like a charm
works great !professional high quality!
Schwer
Das Gerät ist sauber verarbeitet, geräuscharm und arbeitet entsprechend seiner Beschreibung. Leider ist es, besonders in Verbindung mit dem Beamer, relativ schwer, was zu einem leichten Absinken beim Ausfahren führt, die aber von den verstellbaren Beamerfüßen leicht ausgleichbar ist. Leider ist dieses Absinken keine Konstante - wir mussten inzwischen zweimal mit den Füßen nachjustieren, wofür wir einen Stern abziehen.Für uns ergeben sich4/5 Sterne.
