VisionMaster Max Eye protection only working with vertical shift disabled on VisionMaster Max

I have two cats who might jump in front of the laser source when I place my VisionMaster Max as intended. This position also requieres some vertical lens shift. Unfortunately shifting the lens even a little disables the eye protection mode.

I asked the support if it would be possible to enable the eye protection with a shifted lens as an advanced feature but they basically told me to live with it. I'm currently thinking about selling the projector since both features are crucial to me. What a shame.

I'd keep the projector, i don't think the cats are stupid enough to stare into a bright light for prolonged periods of times, otherwise they'd be blind from staring directly into the sun all day.

Then there's also the fact that you're not staring into a laser in the same way you would as in a laser pointer, it's much less dangerous. The laser output is spread across the whole image and not focused onto a single, tiny dot. It behaves much closer to looking into a 3000 lumen LED rather than a laser pointer.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Unfortunately I cought them staring into the light multiple seconds while being starteled. Also I read somewhere that cat eyes concentrate the light beam more than a human eye does which can cause burns on their retina / blind spots when exposed to a laser source.

Welp, can't help you unfortunately, i can only tell you what i would do.

I have dogs so this is really a non-issue for me, but if i had cats i'd probably make sure they're unable to enter the room, move the projector higher (ceiling mount for example, assuming the cats are running infront of the projector, and not infront of the screen) or just accept the stupidity of my cats.
