At my theater we have a few projectors that are set on plywood stands that vary from 1'-2'. When they constructed them they made one larger then it needs to be and the wood is deflecting a bit and makes creaking noises everyone once in a while. The one in question is an old UA projector. Strong highlight, and projector head. I was just wondering about how much they weigh. I was hoping to figure out how safe, or unsafe the stand was but am not sure of the weight.
