At 160 cm, the HY300 Pro throws over every head

Put an HY300 Pro on the coffee table and the beam starts low, right where the sofa's occupants sit up to reach for popcorn. Stand it on this tripod at full height and the lens sits above them, around 160 cm off the floor. The picture starts higher on the wall and nobody's hair becomes part of the film.

That is the core idea of a floor tripod, and this one covers a wide range. On the full-height version the legs and centre column take the projector from 60 cm, low enough to sit beside an armchair, up to 160 cm, taller than most people standing. In between, you set whatever the room asks for.

Four details shape how it behaves on a film night:

  • Mixed materials. Aluminium keeps the weight down, stainless steel parts add strength, and plastic fittings handle the joints.
  • Anti-slip design. The stand is built to reduce vibration and stay put, so a footstep near the legs should not ripple the picture.
  • Angle adjustment. Beyond height, the head tilts, so the lens can aim straight at the wall or up at the ceiling.
  • Folds for the road. Collapsed, it packs into a car boot or a cupboard corner.

An HY300 weighs well under a kilogram; Magcubic gives its Pro+ as 0.88 lb. A stand of this size is not stretched by that load, which helps it stay steady at full extension.

A name with two numbers. The stand is sold as a 50–160 cm tripod, while the version itself is labelled 60/160 cm. Plan on 60 cm as the lowest comfortable setting.

Tabletop, mid-height or full height: three stands for three rooms

The same tripod design comes in three heights, and choosing the right one matters more than any other detail. Buying too tall rarely hurts, since the column slides down. Buying too short means the lens never clears the sofa.

VersionHeightWhere it shines
Tabletop33–50 cmOn a sideboard or desk, lifting the lens above clutter
Mid-height43–110 cmBeside the bed or behind a low armchair
Full height60–160 cmBehind a sofa, in a hall, or in the garden

A phone clamp is offered for the same stand, which turns it into a filming tripod when it is not holding the projector. The tabletop version also appears as a 33/55 cm stand, so check the exact label on the one you pick.

Match the version to the room with three questions:

  1. Where does the audience sit? Behind a full sofa, only the 60–160 cm stand lifts the lens clear of heads.
  2. How big is the wall? A tall stand near the back of a long room gives the biggest picture the HY300 can manage.
  3. Where will it live between films? A folded full-height stand still needs a cupboard; the tabletop version tucks into a drawer.

Bedrooms often suit the mid-height version. Set it at mattress level beside the bed, tilt the lens to the far wall, and the picture lands at eye level when you are propped on pillows.

For picture sizes at each distance, the HY300 screen size guide maps inches to metres.

Where it plays in the range

HY300 projector models by type, September 2026. Highlighted: Universal Floor Tripod (60–160 cm).

Standing an HY300 Pro behind the sofa in five minutes

A tripod setup takes less time than finding the remote. The steps below keep the stand steady and the picture square. Do them once with the lights on, then enjoy the film with them off.

  1. Spread the legs fully. A wide footprint is the difference between a steady picture and a wobbly one. Lock each leg before raising the column.
  2. Check the projector's underside. The stand is made for mini projectors with standard mounting support, so look for a threaded socket or a base the head can hold. Not every rebadged HY300 states one, so look before the film starts.
  3. Fix the projector, then raise it. Attach it at a low height, confirm it is tight, and only then extend to full height.
  4. Aim straight at the wall. The closer the lens is to square, the less the keystone correction has to stretch the picture.
  5. Run the power cable down a leg. A strip of tape keeps it from snagging an ankle in the dark.
Pets and small children. Any floor tripod with a projector on top is top-heavy. Place it where people do not walk, and never leave a cable across a doorway.

A floor tripod also helps with ceiling films. Put the stand beside the bed at mattress height, tilt the head back, and the lens aims at the plaster without anyone climbing a ladder.

Keep the projector's vents open on every setup. An HY300 that runs warm may dim or switch itself off in the middle of a scene, so avoid pushing the stand tight against curtains.

Picture tips for a tripod-mounted HY300 are in the auto keystone and focus guide.

This 160 cm stand against Magcubic's 47-inch tripod

Five floor stands suit the HY300 family, and they split between higher reach and a known fit. This universal tripod reaches further than most. Magcubic's own stand fits its projectors without guesswork.

110 cm floor stand110 cm (160 cm size also made)LightweightSimple, light

The 41 cm difference in top height is the main reason to pick this stand over Magcubic's. Behind a sofa, 119 cm can leave the lens level with seated heads, while 160 cm clears them.

Magcubic's stand still has its place. Its ball head swings freely in every direction, and it doubles as a phone or ring-light stand when the projector is packed away. The height-adjustable stand matches this tripod's reach and adds an open tray that leaves the vents clear, while the 110 cm floor stand keeps things simple for a single room.

For a lounge where the sofa sits in the middle of the floor and the projector lives behind it, this universal stand's extra height is the deciding factor. For a desk or a bedside, the shorter Magcubic tripod is easier to live with.

Before choosing, run through these checks:

  • The height of your sofa back and of seated heads.
  • Whether your projector has a mounting socket underneath.
  • Storage space for the folded stand.
  • How often the projector moves between rooms.

Tripods, mounts and cases side by side are in the HY300 accessories guide.

Setup and screen questions

How tall does the universal tripod go?

The full-height version adjusts from 60 cm to 160 cm. Tabletop (33–50 cm) and mid-height (43–110 cm) versions use the same design.

Will it hold my HY300 Pro?

It is made for the HY300 Pro, the HY320 Mini and similar mini projectors with standard mounting support. Check that your projector has a mounting socket or base the head can grip.

Does the tripod fold?

Yes, it folds for storage and travel, and its aluminium and steel build keeps it light enough to carry to the garden.

Can I use it for ceiling projection?

Yes. Set it low beside the bed and tilt the head back so the lens points up at the ceiling.
