THIS… this little pocket sized cylinder is a home theatre projector with smartTV capabilities, a built in battery AND a bluetooth speaker. So that means you could just set this down and never plug anything in… no need for a speaker, an HDMI, or even a power cable, and you could still watch movies or liveTV in your living room… or on your deck… or while tailgating… or anywhere.

ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:
The is the Capsule 3 by Anker and it is a pocket size projector that is part of a silent revolution in home media devices. You see, people used to have a TV and a vcr or dvd player, and then people got chromecasts and roku sticks, and then that became built into the tv. Some chose to have a big projector, but no matter what, it was always stationary. Bringing your TV to a party or a presentation was never an option. But now, technology is allowing us to see smaller and smaller projectors that you can literally bring anywhere. And the quality is surprisingly good.
If you think of normal TVs and projectors like desktop computers, this is a laptop.
This is small and mobile, but still gives you a surprisingly good image and it is way quieter. It has a ton of benefits and completely new use cases that we will talk about throughout this video. Of course it is not the first or the only mini projector, but it may very well be one of the best.
Before I get into the specifics, this is a pre production unit that I have been using for the past few weeks, so I want to thank the Anker Nebula team for hooking me up with an early unit and for sponsoring this video. Because of that, this video is really going to be me talking about what this projector is, what it can do, and where you can use it.
DESIGN
This thing is TINY!
Much heavier than it looks which gives it a premium feel
LENS
PORTS
Internal battery for up to 2.5 hours of use
Bluetooth and wifi
Extremely quiet fan - you probably won’t realize there is one in there
¼-20 mounting threads
No need to keystone or focus - that is automatic
I wish it had a flexible stand to adjust the angle
I wish it came with a case. This is clearly meant to be portable
SPEAKER TEST
Surprisingly loud! Far louder than the Nebula Cosmos
Fans are super quiet, so you can really hear the speakers well
This is ideal for a portable projector because you will genuinely want to use this without bringing other speakers
PICTURE
Very bright - easy to watch in a bright room
Appears brighter than the Samsung Freestyle
Auto keystone
Auto focus
Laser instead of LED
1080p
HDR10
INTERFACE
AndroidTV 11
Chromecast capability
Google Assistant
WHERE TO USE IT
Outside on your deck
Small apartment
Second TV for gameday in kitchen
Bedroom
Presentations
Tailgating

@@seeharvester That was apparently some scammer cutting in while trying to appear to be the host; this happens on most popular comment threads I´ve read.
that price is steep for a tiny speaker/projector. $700 I can buy 2 1080p tv or 3 36 inch tvs at 1080p.
im not gonna subscribe, but no, projectors are not replacing tvs, stop tryna make projectors happen cause views...

You did a great job convincing me my home tv won't be obsolete any time soon
Exactly lol
I still use vhs now and then.

That would explain why nothing is said about the most important value - brightness? But maybe I just didn't hear it.
"Laser Bright" is not very helpful. But at the very bottom of the advertising page, you'll find it: 300 lumens. As expected for the device size only in darkened rooms or outside in the twilight / darkness. Nothing that should surprise you, but not to mention it ... for a device with this pricepoint ... well.
@@thomasreinfelder9448 in fairness it does mention lumens, he says it has more lumens than a samsung portable
I've stopped watching after that sentence. It's a commercial, not a review.
@@thomasreinfelder9448 7:10
@@GBO76 lolzzz
Correct me if I'm wrong, but to get the full 300 lumens, you'll have to settle for a 48" screen. At 70", brightness drops to 120lum and at 100", it's down to 60lum. Used ProjectorCentral's throw calculator on the Capsule 2 to get a feel of the numbers.
For comparison, my Epson EX5200, bought second hand in mint condition for 100$ (so about one EIGHT the price of the C3), pumps 1500lum for a 70" screen, and 600lum for a 100'". And I only really enjoy it in the evenings or low light surroundings.
The Capsule 3 is clearly designed for two things only: convenience and portability. And you really really really need to want those to justify its price. Otherwise I don't see the point.
As mikes brother I can confirm the quality on this setup is incredible. We watch the Phillies games on it
I'm his other brother, and I didn't find it worth the price.
I’m his uncle twice removed and I found that the projector is kinda cool.
Kinda cool and probably useful but you will always need an unobstructed table the right distance from the wall to set it on. And a fairly dark room with a vacant wall. For home, it's inferior to just having a standard flat screen tv.
Especially for what you can get, in TV terms, for similar money, these days.
Agree. It would be good as a portable projector for making presentations, though.
@@stuartmiller7419 I got my 65" 4K tv for $400 new. This little 1080p 300 lumen turd cant begin to compare to even the cheapest TV. Projectors are alway a terrible value until youre trying to make a 90" or larger image or you NEED the portability only a projector can offer. I cant imagine owning one of these. Even if I got it for free I'd just sell it and buy something that suits me better. 300 lumens is laughably awful. Most projectors I deal with are in the thousands of lumens. Even then we still darken the rooms the best we can to make the most of the setup. Trying to use this outdoors would be a fool's errand if I've ever encountered one.
I remember buying the Sony KDL-52XBR6 52" 1080p BRAVIA LED backlit LCD for over 4 grand back in 2007 (pre order) I remember the first unit had ghosting on it (white haziness on crush black) and I called them and told them to pick it up and replace it. The prices and quality today just amazes me. Not you can get that same TV for like $500 or less used lol
At $700 it's a total rip off (and that's the discounted price), especially for the lumens it provides, which is like 1/3rd of what you would actually want at minimum unless you plan on making a very tiny screen. But projectors are actually better than TV's, if it's in a dark room, and you use a decent projector screen (the dark gray kind, not the white kind, that's how you get good contrast). And that's why the lumens suck too, because with the dark gray projector screens, you lose a lot of light, so this 300 lumen will behave more like a 100 lumen or less, which means it'll be much dimmer than the numbers suggest in order to get good contrast.
It's also a bit over engineered in other ways, it certainly doesn't need a freakin' quad core phone CPU or 2GB of RAM just to play 1080p videos, and most people will probably be streaming to it from a mobile device anyways. Even though it has 16GB onboard storage, it doesn't even have a memory card slot, and I bet a good chunk of that 16GB is taken up by other software already. So you'd at best be able to put about 3-7 good-decent quality movies on it. I mean it's nice that it's self contained, but it really is fluff that adds to cost unnecessarily. People just mainly want the laser projection tech.
When deals are up, you can get even OLED TV's now for the same price as this thing. This seems to me more like a $200 device at best, and that's pushing it. It should be more in the $100 range. I mean after all, we're talking about a device that has mid range smartphone specs for no reason, that is only for playing movies. They could use the cheapest slowest RAM and CPU from 10 year old smartphone tech and you wouldn't even notice the difference.
I got the capsule 2 in 2020… it still amazes me the power and quality they fit into such a small device

Maybe ok for classrooms / meetings... and maybe camping? The problem for home use is you will want the room to be totally dark, and you actually end up taking more room unless you hang it from your ceiling. I like the concept, and if the tech gets small / good enough imagine projecting video from your phone... so there is some interesting potential use case here.
there's already a projector attachment for a certain phone.. mby motorola makes the phone? I remember it has several electrical terminals on the back of it.. another attachment for that phone is a camera with a big lens. I don't remember the specs on that projector though, or the name of the phone lol

There are lots of uses for this but it can't compete with a good high definition tv for me when it comes to home viewing.
Beats rolling a big TV on a stand outdoors everytime to enjoy the big game with friends who can mess up the inside of your home. Even if you leave your TV outside under a covered roof, moisture will damage it or someone could steal your TV. A portable projector is a great solution. You can even attach a Google chromecast device to it (as long has you can get your wifi network outside) or a small TV tuner. As well as a stereo system or some waterproof Bose bluetooth speaker. Also, if you rented a ballroom for a wedding reception, it's much much convenient than hauling your big screen high definition TV.
Saves on the indium mined for the environment and rainforest deforestation if you don't buy flat screen tvs
Indium is one of the nine oddest elements in the crust of Earth. It is also on the European Union's list of critical materials. Thats why they go to greater length to find it and ye forest don't matter there.
There are current way to replace it but it's still used and is gonna run out in the next 50years.
If you can put up with not watching (or not watching in any kind of quality approaching ANY tv's) in the daytime or with the lights on, then sure, it's a fine TV replacement. Not to mention that even with all lights off, a projector with this one's lumens output, your not going to get anything like the blacks and contrast of even a standard LED TV.
Projectors are game changers. I have a 90inch screen in my bedroom and 150 inch screen in the living room...all from a projector. It's Contrast and black levels are nothing compared to TVs from even 10 years ago 😂 but it still looks amazing and it extreamly portable...i took it camping 2x and even took it overseas. I had a 100inch screen in my tiny hotel room which only had a old 32 inch screen that u had to pay for exclusive channels...yuck.

@@Alan_Mac 😅 telling Irish people that Guinness is british.. !

This would be perfect for my small apartment. It’s just too expensive. I have a tiny apartment and i think this wouldwork well to project onto a pull- down screen over the windows, thus darkening the room for viewing, and not have to leave a blank space on the wall. I just need something with a much lower price. The portability and space saving aspects are selling points to me.
I picked up the original anger capsule for $235 dollars. That is such an amazing price point. It's inferior to this but my goodness $800
Nor is it remotely close to competing with standard tv imaging

@@nebulafans8371 its clearly a better product. However, i feel its a very niche market, and charging $800 for what is a pico projector is a huge turn off. People wanting a high end projector would be better suited spending a little more for a 4k projector from benq or catching the wemax ust projector when its on sale for $1400 or so.
Been looking at upgrading my current projector (no name, 720p upscale to 1080p). But this projector is all about portability, which isn't my main goal (better picture quality). The MSRP price is close to what BenQ has with their projectors, but their projectors around this price range have 10x ANSI Lumens of what Anker offers with their Capsule 3.
The right priorities
Yeah, this thing is way, way, overpriced. I got into a full 1080P Viewsonic projector with 1500 lumens for $500 NEW like 8 or 9 years ago. For the $800 the are pricing this at, you are only about $300 off of starting prices on 4K projectors! This thing is a joke at that much! I wouldn’t pay more than $200 for this. MAX! Because you can get a ton of these portable projectors in that price range now. 🤷♂️
1080p puke bro 4k is so cheap wtf

That thing seems to make sense. I like the overall versatility of it not being any bigger than my BT box and being a box also. But as you said for the next generation Anker should come up with a sliding cover or so for the lense. I also like that it runs Android tv 11 adding to the versatility.

Impressive device! Thank you.
Hope they made it better than their first capsule. I bought the original, and it had a ton of limitations and basic usability issues. Couldn't run video files through it without using a dongle, couldn't access the internal memory to save video files. Really old version of android tv. Extremely low light performance (similar to other pico projectors of the time). The control buttons on top didn't make sense, causing my kids to accidentally turn off their show.
A battery-powered projector should be good for off-grid applications like camping. Thus, it should have been better at playing basic video files (from flash, internal, or SD card). Their larger Mars projector worked much better.
Or you could go camping and not stare at a screen.

Projectors are useful for particular situations. We have a 75" 8k Samsung TV and a projector. The difference in quality is enormous. In fact the difference between a projector and a 4k tv is enormous. The problem with projectors include needing to have a good quality projecting surface and in a bright environment it's useless. The sound from the speaker is not coming from the source of the image unless you attach additional speakers. In no world does a projector come even close to a medium or high end TV. Maybe one day, but not today. That is not a criticism as it has its uses for those who own a TV to give some flexibility, and for $700 it will be great for people on a budget.
There are actually higher end short throw 4k hdr dolby vision laser throw projectors, these are as close as to a TV you can get in terms of image quality tbh.
@@drewscentral5587 Yes, that's exactly right,. Close to...We have the newest Samsung projector, it's close to a real TV but not the same.
Yea this coke can is a joke. A good short throw and appropriate screen will cost far more than a decent TV these days and still have some drawbacks, it will however be actually useful for more than a gimmicky movie night unlike this thing.
@@brianmsahin in your initial comment you said "in no world does a projector come even close"
@@cameron6249 It's all relative.. Less than the best isn't even close. 😉
I'll wait for the 4K version to come out. Thanks!
Thanks for the information.
Didn't know they had compacted the projectors like that.
Excellent presentation.
Good video. I disagree that you don’t have space for a TV though. If you’ve got walls, you’ve got room for a TV. In fact, you have to have some amount of floor space to place the projector that you don’t need with a TV. That said, I still think you did a good job of showing us the product. I have the larger Nebula projector and I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it is, so I would now consider a portable for travelling.
Plus you can purchase an awesome TV for half the price!
@@RetrieverTrainingAlone No kidding, Costco had slim, 55", UHD smart TVs for $400 a few weekends ago.
If you live in a small apartment and don’t have room on the floor, for a table to set a Tv on, you could point this higher up. Most apartments will not let you mount a tv on a wall.

This does not work unless you have a dedicated screen and a super dark room.
More accurately stated: It doesn't work very good unless you have a dedicated screen and a super dark room. It works without a screen as you can see throughout this video you can project it onto just about any surface you want. Yes, a flat white surface would be ideal but no matter the surface used it still works. Same argument with needing a super dark room, that would be ideal but even in a brightly lit room it still works... you just won't get a good picture.
I have the last gen of these. We use it for camping and for the occasional backyard movie/football game. We just plug a roku stick in it so we have all our apps. Love having it.
Simply mind boggling !
Yes go make a presentation in a company that has presentation equipment and then not use it I've seen this done so many times in so many different ways and it just ends up looking bad usually. I love the sound quality on this projector it might make up for it because for some reason they never put good speakers in projectors.
this is an interesting concept. would love to see this in the future .
It has been 2 days. It is now the future. Time to see this.
This is some very powerful stuff! loved it!
I LOVE IT
There is no where near enough light output or contrast from this thing to be used every day. Nice little thing for what it is.

I had several projectors at home for almost 20 years now and I saw the technology going better and better with each I owned. I loved projecting 92 inches or more (Edit: 118 inches was the largest setup I had. I found my old calculation papers) full HD movies on my screen in my Living Room. But there are a couple of things to concider: You need the room to be dark to have a good image/colors quality (so, blackout the windows on day time) and you also need a screen made of reflective material (a bit expensive) to have a good HD image/colors quality. I do not use projectors anymore because of that now that I own big ass expensive HD TVs and don't need to move often like I did in the past. So, maybe small projectors could be a Revolution but not for actually watching movies at home, in my opinion. For everything else maybe (car trips, camping, evening backyard parties, I don't kow) but not for actually watching movies/Series in your Living Room on the long run. But hey, its just me.
EDIT: Theres also another aspect. The bulb on any projectors got a life expectancy (in hours). The image quality goes down and has to be changed eventually. And costs almost the price of another projector (to my experience). Can this Capsule 3 bulb be changed and at what cost ? Trust me you will think about the cost of projecting 8 seasons of Game of Thrones on a old yellow wall with that thing while watching it.
He said that it was a laser projector, so not too sure about how that goes. I do remember that being the problem back when I was younger too though!😅
I ran a series of projectors since about 2000 until 2019, when I switched to a conventional panel, 75" in my case. I was switching from 1080p to UHD, and large panel TVs had now come down in price to a point where they seemed reasonable.
Despite the smaller size, to be honest an 11' display was probably unnecessary for the size of room, 20'x25'.
The pros and cons came to a head, and I won't deny the need for a dark room doesn't bode well for a projector if it's in your main living room. The need for piles of spaghetti wiring and multiple remotes and configuring wasn't great for others trying to operate it.
Yes, it took a short while to get over myself, from 11' down to 75", but I doubt I'll ever go back to a projector now.
@@nezbrun872 Damn. 11' ? Those were the days lol
I totally agree that with these heavily DIY setups we become the only person able to operate it and its a pain. But hey, my friends back in the day were amazed at my movie setups (audio was also a project in itself) and they still talk about it regularly. It was really fun but the downsides are *huge* once you more or less reached what you wanted. I wouldn't go back to projectors either. I learned a lot, tho. It was fun. But thats no revolution.

Well, you got the point, but this is mobile and small enough that you can bring it anywhere you go.
As someone who travels for work and gives presentations regularly and is still a tech geek movie watching gamer. I think this excels at what I’d want it for. Whilst I’d love it to be cheeper always. Realistically nothing really compares with the stats, size and sound if the review is true and as such I’d expect to pay higher.
I agree 100%, love the review, love the portability and even brand...HATE the price! It's a great gadget but since it's essentially positioned to be a replacement for a standard LED TV it's going to lose at that price since 4K is a non issue even on the cheapest of TV's out there so what does that leave you...portability and possibly space saving. At that price it's a lot to justify if it's just a "nice to have" and is meant to only see the light of day a couple of times a year but love the idea and where the tech is going. I have one with all the same features minus the built in apps and for sure not the same picture quality but it was $100. It's been dropped, got wet, been camping and if it tipped over and fell in the fire I'd probably just laugh, with this pricey little beast I'd probably cry!
I have the capsule 1 and it doesn’t have autofocus. This is an improvement, but is twice the price and like you say, out of a price I’m happy to pay. The speaker on the 1 is also not brilliant, but I can connect my Bose for better sound. Not sure if this could replace a TV too. It would want to be permanently setup for that.
I was ready to buy until I saw cost. Agee, in the 400 range I don’t think I would have hesitated
Looks good, well made
Interesting little device. I personally wouldn't have a use for it but I know people who would, not owning a TV set because they don't want the kids to access TV content without close supervision. So this is a way to control when your kids can watch TV. You lock it away when time's up or when you're not around. They don't see it, so they're not tempted as much.
This takes MORE space than a TV, not less. You need the same wall space a TV would occupy, PLUS a central spot to place the tripod. Which means you now also have a projector blocking your line of sight, and that wall has to be perfect, as in no switches of moldings. When you really start to think of use cases - places where you can't have a TV or don't have one already - they're limited.
It's more about portability.
@@larryc1616 I'm just saying it's a niche use. Most homes these days have TVs, and those TVs have HDMI ports. So this is for somewhere that has a blank wall in a dimly lit room where there isn't already a TV or monitor around. That's a niche use.
At this size, you could just take it out and put it away. I have my cheapy projector on a shelf behind my headboard personally but probably could've fit a little tripod on the headboard itself if I had this leetle one. I got tired of having a tv on my dresser tbh. I needed that space to put stuff on. A projector kinda preserves the minimal aesthetic. I'd buy another tv if I could find a dumb one though
My 65" OLED Sony Bravia with the Dolby Atmos Soundbar is my preferred way, especially for watching movies and nature shows, much more immersive. No comparison, regarding brightness, color richness, black level etc.
That said, it's not really a fair comparison. Apples and oranges due to function and price. I can see myself owning one at some point because of the portability and price.
think students and other similar folk who don't want to lug around a panel TV.
@@JohnnyMotel99 I agree, I even said I could see me owning one because of portability. My point was, for me it could never be a replacement. When I'm at home I like a cinematic experience for the time I devoted for viewing.
@@JohnnyMotel99 Or people who either can't or aren't willing to spend around $3,000 on a TV and sound bar lol
Awesome story! Wonderfully read.
What a coincidence, I’ve been using one of this nebula projectors for 6 months and it’s amazing
For $700, i can get a really nice 65” 4K TV. But i can see the portability for using outside the house. It’s perfect for vanlife or camping.
At camping I’d rather connect with nature… don’t understand this obsession with watching television everyone
@@anirudh0000 you can be connect with nature during the day and evening. Having a nice camping movie with your spouse in the wood is nice. It’s perfect for my vanlife style
Two questions on flexibility 1) Can it adjust if the unit is hung upside down? 2) Can it adjust if the unit is doing rear projection?
I have a capsule and a capsule max and both have the option for upside-down and rear projection, so I there is 99% chance that the capsule 3 also have it.
Yep . Orientation and flip projection built into android tv. I 3d printed a cradle to lie it down (and not roll) so I could project it on my bed room ceiling.
I could see using this in my teardrop camper. We have a flat wall that we could attach a quality screen to and watch movies if we want. Or we could set up outside for movies under the stars. So tempted to get this.
Yep, camping seems to be what it's for.
That looks really cool.
I have a portable projector similar to this. I use mine to bring on trips. It's also very good for watching sporting events when you have people over. It makes it feel like more of an event.
Great idea to use in places you don't want to leave a TV where it can be stolen or damaged.
You want to carry it in your pocket allthe time?
@@iway002 Just thinking gyms for exercise classes or youth clubs, places that might be less secure than a home but someone can bring the projector and take it away at end, not left unattended.
It is amazing. I had this idea in my head since I was a kid with a Lite Brite toy. (60 years ago) I even imagined it using laser beams.
Right and I had the idea for the Space X, 50 years ago along with Tesla vehicles 🤣🤣🤣
We will get one for motorcycle camping! Awesome👍😎⬆️💯. Is it water proof?
Although a good idea the lumens on this are only 300. Unless the room is pretty dark the image will be white washed by ambient light in the room. I looked up the specs on it. 700$ is a steep price tag.
Exactly. I would rather buy a tablet or laptop to watch on than this.
That is so cool this is a great Christmas present for my in-laws they camp all year round. Thanks for the Idea I was having trouble finding something they might like and use
Last year toddler used a metal sippy cup to smash a $4,000 tV screen. Obviously, we aren’t getting another one until he’s old enough to learn the value of self control.
This product would be so so so tempting for our family, if it didn’t feel like that camera would be spying on us or if we didn’t wonder if that laser could be used as a weapon between our children against each other.
Just started watching your channel recently. You write great reviews. Always very detailed and honest even with sponsers
Thanks! Sponsors want me to only show positives but I always keep it real. I still mention the drawbacks and my honest experience!
Mike is Awesome! I also watch his vids when considering tech purchases
@@MikeOBrienMedia keep up the grind man. You being one of the best smart watch channels is sure to pay off in the next couple years. I know it sounds weird but I'd get ready to start testing more AR headsets. I think apples watch ultra is just a prototype controller and hud for there ar/vr headset. If true smart watches and there accompanying headsets could really sky rocket your channel. Just a thought.
@@StuffIThink I am excited to keep testing AR/VR headsets! I have a few that I have been testing and considering making content about
@@MJG70 Thanks so much for your kind words!!
The use case for it is mobility of some kind. For instance, I could use my Motorola phone that has their "Ready For" system which lets you use an external screen; it could display the desktop and let me do office work on it, or I could use a Bluetooth game controller and game away on a huge screen instead of a tiny phone screen. A travel display in general, too, for watching movies perhaps. The issue is that the brightness is low, and you need to position it properly in a light controlled room. Could be useful but also a little gimmicky for most.

Excited to see Anker branching out and making new stuff!! Ever Anker product I’ve ever had has been amazing!
The obvious downside are the surface you use it on, and light considerations, for a better picture but an interesting product. I don't think I would give up my tv for this as a replacement.
Too expensive for just 300 lumens. I get it, it's Laser technology but the Xgimi Elfin can be had for just 500 on sale now with 800 lumens dlp technology. They're both 1080 but at the end of the day, it's all about more brightness for the dollar imo.
So true. I would love more lumens here
Battery-powered, internal speakers and the Bluetooth and wifi features make this projector really versatile and useful. The sound of the speaker is superb and the autofocus features sound Kool too. What I'm really concern about is the picture quality in medium light conditions and dark conditions. I'll like to see a review off the bigger model to this capsule type. If the video quality is excellent and the overall functionality is robust then this projector is a must-have device. It will be super nice if this projector have good expandability for the software component of the device. 👍👌💯😎.
Hope they've resolve the Reliability of the hardware.
My first gen can no longer project bigger than 10" anymore, can't use it to project on the ceiling watching movie on my bed.
The USB-C is much needed with PD, micro-USB just won't make the cut to charge it while using it for longer hours.
No it wont ..... I still recall the screen enhancers for regular tvs
Great another listening device for your home
Awesome idea for a home gym 👍
This would be awsome if you could pair its projector functions with your phone during video calls. Even better if it could make video calls and had a camera on the back. That way people could use walls to make video calls. It would be kind of magical!

Mike. You may want to suggest to Anker to put in a built in lens cover for the projector lens. A camera lens cover with gaffers tape may also work to keep scratches from the lens.
Maybe a standard threaded daylight filter.
I never thought "where did you leave the TV?" would be a line I ever hear.🤣
That 4K one is a beast
As someone loves to watch movies, lives on a U.S. military base (sometimes moving to another one), and needing a small compact projector to carry for work and play- this projector is perfect! After moving to a new base last year, I refused to get another TV, so I got myself the BenQ GS50. It's an awesome projector but I wish it wasn't as big or a tad bit heavy to carry between flights. If this had came out last year- I would have totally copped this beauty. Now that you've made this video, I'll probably leave my GS50 at home and get this one for when I need to travel. I have one question- have you tested the projector with an iPhone? I happen to be an Apple owner and just hope that maybe Anker hooked it up to accommodate IOS systems. Please let me know and thank you for making this awesome video!
Now imagine if something like this could come with a high enough refresh to replace gaming monitors…
Oled>projectors for gaming imo, they have infinite contrast that a projector could never achieve and their input latency is second to none, where as a projector typically has pretty high input latency by comparison of your typical TV, especially when compared to Oled.
@@matilija I'm all for it. OLED seems to be the way in the immediate future. Of course the usual suspects are going to take their sweet time slowing rolling out the incremental updates to the tech so they can bleed us slowly instead of giving us what we want now.
Very clever unit.
So I bought a 4k outdoor projector before the "pandemic", I bought some posts and a large strip of canvas. Now I have an outdoor theatre in my backyard and it's quite enjoyable
I like where this is going but 300 lumens is not enough. Especially for bright rooms.
I’m in my 40’s and follow AV, cinema, reasonably closely. These gadgets have been around for a while in various forms and have got better over time for sure. However they are (in my view) purely a convenience gadget. Take camping, use for a presentation, great for large scale conference calls, etc. However at that price point you could get a 4K, HDR 55" television. Maybe not the best but still pretty good. So no. In my view they will never replace a tv in your house but they are a great solution for traveling round.
of course, if you want to get a tv, than it will be better in every aspect than such a tiny device. but not everyone wants a big tv in their home.
there are people like me, that only watch videos on laptops or tablets or phones and dont even have a big screen sitting around somewhere.
i think such a device is cool if you want to have the option for a bigger screen without having the need for it all the time.
if you have a big house and/or want a dedicated home cinema, than you are way better off with a big stationary tv set, of course.
I have had a capsule 2 for over a year and it’s been great.
I 3d printed a angled holder so I could project it onto my ceiling and it works fine for that.
However I can see a single problem with the nebula 3 compared to my nebula 2.
The neb 2 has aux audio, and hdmi (like you pre release version) but had both a seperate usb and usb-c ports, so I could supply power on the C and plug in a usb device (such as a thumb drive or a usb/Nic dongle connected to Ethernet when wifi is less than reliable).
The capsule 3 doesn’t have a spare usb. Only USB C… so if I want to use additional peripherals, I would need to but a usb c docking station and more importantly a bigger usb c power… as the power supply it comes with is usually not rated to power a dock and the nebula combined, hence the need for a bigger power supply (docking stations usually draw a percentage for its internal function before the left over goes to the nebula)
However nice to see upgraded specs, such as 720 (neb 2) to 1080 (neb3) and upgraded from 220 lum to 300 lum in the new model.
I don’t think I need to upgrade just yet but nice review.
This is pretty cool.
I love Guinness too
Truly the best beer 🍺
Great video! IMO... I'd personally not pay more than $499 for it. Compelling product I might be interested in if it ever hits that price range.
It will probably be that piece in a few weeks given the crazy price drops we've seen on the Samsung version 😂
Make it 4K and I’m in. 1080p is so yesterday.
Very neat technology, I'm positive as time goes on the prices will come down considering a good TV is in the same price range. All that said this is definitely a device that takes the tried and true technology and breathes new life into it. I would enjoy using something like this while I'm glamping at my seasonal spot.
We haven't had a TV since 1982. That was when I said to the kids "One more fight over that TV and it's going." Got all sort of flack but we've done fine with radio and internet since.
Projectors will always be inferior to actual tvs, simply because one is directly emitting ligth while the other bounces it off a surface.
you can compare it with the sun(tv) and the moon(projector and wall)
That is such a great Analogy! Though I think if there's a brighter light emitting to the moon by for example another much much much brighter star. Then the reflection might be brighter than the Sun itself no?
@@someonewithsomename.4044 if the moon would be a mirror maybe but good luck finding something brighter than the newest oled/QD-Oled and what not with 1000-10000 nits brightness burning your eyes away
@@Zetraxes they are pretty good but OLEDs were not usually this bright. They recently became this bright.
If the moon was made out of a more reflective surface, then there'd be something worth comparing.
As the tech in projectors and projector screens improve, the comparisons to TVs will have less weight. Projectors don't have to be as good as or better than TVs to be a practical choice. They just have to be good enough; once that point of image quality and brightness reaches diminishing returns, it'd be good enough for most people.
depends on the projector, high end projectors from jvc and sony will change your tune. besides, they're designed for different purposes so both are superior in their own element.
Yes. I use my laptop : never watch TV : nothing I want to see …..
Softboi
This comment is too stupid to be real.
Using a Guinness Beer can as a unit of measure is epic !
A 100$ projector on amazon is freaking great! Give similar image to a toshiba from 17 years ago that cost 1600$...No hdtv but good enough that you watch a movie or play videogame on a huuuuuge screen! Got mine 2 weeks ago and love it...The projector bulb in my old one costed around 400$ alone....
this will never overtake the new tv's out today!!
even some of those tv's that cost no more than
$300 dollars, are 4k and have a way better picture
quality!!!....and if you think people are gonna spend
any more than $50 bucks for that crap, you're
crazy.....no way you'll get anyone to pay $680 dollars!!!
That is totally cool
Portable and smart so that's a huge plus!!
Everyone should try a modern projector. Even if you can get one used. They are so much fun for movies and video games. I love glass tv's but projectors are alot of fun to try out.
I got a mimi projector last Christmas...Love it ...will never return to TVs
Excellent video 👌🏾
Great review, very interesting technology
Well taking out the bulk from a project and thus a tv can be a very important factor, you can suddenly ship an 80inch tv and it probably consumes even less
I have a projector and only use that and my phone. It’s out of the way when not needed and provides a huge screen for movies and gaming.
Great review. How long does the battery last ? How long to recharge ?
Great review 👍🏽
I’ve been road tripping with DLP’s for years, it’s been really great and easy.
As a film camera buff and boomer, back in the day, 1970's, we camera pro's shot Kodachrome
slide film, awesome color but it was only as good as the screen you projected it on, silver linear
was the best IMO. You had a tube holding the screen 4" in diameter 5' long with fold-out legs and a decent projector, Bell & Howell was my brand. Because plain old walls were stupid.
PHENOMINAL
Nice review. Interesting product. I have a led projector which I like but it's most useful in the evening. Daytime viewing is a challenge as extra measures must be taken. My walls are flat white which seems to work best. This is a bit pricey.
I have the LGP50KA which I got for around $500. It is 1080p with 600 lumens and pretty compact with 2+ hrs battery life. It too has can be mounted on a tripod and i carry it around in a lunch box sized case. The only downside is the speaker and the app which lacks Prime and Disney
One of my buddies recently said "I'm trying to find a way to watch a football game from my pool." This would be perfect...
Nice commercial. So far, I never missed not being able to take my TV with me.
Mobile projector that you need to keep plugged into the power. Awesome
Very cool! Hopefully Anker will obtain safety certification from UL for this!
With that lens, I'd expect it to say "hello dave"
Mike,
Nice, informative video. I'm sort of an audiophile, and have a projector in my basement, in fact 2 of them. Can it be mounted upside-down, screwed to a ceiling mount? And what is the size projection limitation? I have a 10 foot diagonal projector screen.
I haven't had a TV in about fourteen years. Don't miss it. Most of what I watch is online and the DVD player handles the rest.
Cool thing. I'm gonna wait 4 it 2 b incorporated into my phone
