Portable Projectors for Camping - Stream me UP!

- Projectors are getting smaller and far better so I thought it was time to look at seeing how small a projector we could get for the van for movie nights and also when we have meetups and want to watch everyone's best videos. So I tried out the Apeman M4 and the Blackview Max1 - the latter is actually a mobile phone with a built-in projector.

ive had a couple of small projectors that weren't great. I now have a Apeman m4 dlp mini portable pocket projector that i also use with the firestick and ps4.It supports 1080p and its recharable.I power it off a powerbank and its really quiet and the picture is brilliant.I think it was around £180 off amazon.
Just got my apeman projector it is fantastic, never thought of getting one of these for Motorhome.
Thanks for the review really good
Yep, agree with Kat cankan!
Thanks for doing this review, really enjoy this!
What a cool little projector, very impressive too. Great idea to use the card as a screen, much better than a fixed TV. I was considering taking my small 19" TV with me in the van and running it off the inverter, am now thinking this might be a much better and more versatile option.
What a great little bit of kit 👍 another great video cheers john ❤️✌️
Great video - one of the things I have not yet cracked is best way to watch a film as just got a small SWB ford auto camper so projector seems a good way - maybe see if there is small roll out screens
Very detailed review and useful information...thanks for sharing
A great review, impressed with the little projector l wasn't ecpecting such a good performance. Agreed a shame about the phone, potential for the future prehaps.
A great vlog, very informative.
another great review vlog, you really are Mr gadget man :) love the apeman projector might look at this myself replace the TV we have and gain more space
The small projector is impressive mate 👌👍😉.
Great little projector Apeman 🤣. Would like to see you demo it on the side of a van, hope you remember to do that for us please 😃.
It’s in the video we did at the Lost in Europe meet-up in the last video 👍🏼
In that case I remember it and it looked perfectly watchable.
🤣👍🏼
Great video- I bought the Apeman M4 and I love it.
Great review they look awesome like the rechargable one deffo going to look into one 🏴👍🏴
Mornings Gadgets 😊☕
Morning Kat 👋🏻

@@johnmandy Good morning again Gadgets 😊☕
I’ve been considering a projector!
That small one looks ideal
I've got an apeman arriving today 😀
Great review. That "Apeman" is brilliant. Think this will be my next investment :)
Awesome review John, have thought of a projector in the van a few times, but the small unit was brill at Ash's do! Shame my van is blue however! 😂😂 May have to think of a "double-up" awning system 😉👍
We use a white sheet for the outside if the card isn’t big enough, after dusk anything white ish works a treat.
@@johnmandy Well luckily I bought a Tarpaulin a few months back, which is blue on one side and white on the other, so perfect for the job! 😁
How you getting internet on the fire stick?
i got the smaller projector that works off 5v..can work off 12v and 240v..it has the usual connections.
Well done, John. Please don't say "Alexa" in the video-- haha. I'm not surprised the phone was a dud. As is the case with many cheap Chinese phones, they build it to trumpet specs on a box, rather than actual quality of the features. Clearly they just slammed a projector into the case without dealing with any of the real issues of creating a projector that works well such as keystone, focus, etc.
Hi John and Mandy,
On a recent video by someone else (you were all at a meet up), Mandy had cooked a stew in an instant pot. I was wondering if you could maybe talk about how you find the instant pot, as far as power draw and ease of use in the van goes, please? Also if you use any other type of electrical kitchen items (blender, slow cooker, air fryer, etc) would love to know your thoughts on their viability for vanlife.
It's something I have been considering for when I get my van, and because I am still in the planning stages, I am still very much worrying about battery size, solar panels, and making sure I have enough power for everything.
Thank you, and sorry for the huge comment. 🙈
Hi Toni, we’re going to be covering how we cook in the van in an upcoming video, there’s also a video out soon about our energy collection/storage and usage.
@@johnmandy Amazing. Thank you. I will keep an eye out. I love your videos. ☺️
What Pot?
Great video thank you I have the small projector great little divice any ideas hiwbtobwatch sky go through it?
Hi John, great review. A couple of questions. Can you stream from your iPad to the small projector downloaded iPlayer or Netflix programmes? Thanks for your UA-cam on 4g boosters, I now have the same setup in my motorhome and it Work’s really well. Now that you will be relying on mobile reception who do you use as your mobile data? Have you thought about Skyroam? It seems a bit expensive to me. Good luck with your house sale...
Hi Brian, the projector only has hdmi input, you can use a Firestick and that supports AirPlay from iPad or iPhone.
Skyroam is just an expensive version of my 4G WiFi setup, skyroam also has limited data too.
Great review John looks like I will be getting one, how are you running the fire stick?
The Firestick powers off the projector and we use the van WiFi for internet access.
Hi John - just wondered if you checked out the Anker Nebula - was thinking about one but the little Apeman seems better value ?
I only know about the products in the video, sorry Tim.
Thank you John, another great video. Just one question please, when using the Amazon Fire stick do you need the fire stick plugged into mains power? I've just bought an apeman projector but noticed that my fire stick needs mains power !
The fire stick uses a usb A to micro usb cable so you use the apeman USB port to power the fire stick.
Hey John.
I've got a Xgimi Z6 projector, 240v obviously but I was wondering if there's a power adapted that would run it in DC..
Output power is 19.0V---3.42A
They're a brilliant portable projector that we use in the garden on a evening 👍🏼👍🏼
hi john will the apeman charge from a 12v motorhome usb sockets please
Thanks for that interesting review John - the `Apeman` was really good - Question;- Did you say it runs off of normal batteries? or does it have a internal lithium battery that you charge via USB?
It’s got an internal battery that’s lasts around 2 hours of playback & charges via usb.
Fantastic idea 👍🏻🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️. Another thing to add to the list 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ your a bad man my other half said 🙄🤔🤷♂️😆
encouraging/ corrupting us poor
guys to buy THE best gadgets innnnnn the world 😆😆😆😆
In the WORLD 😁
Can you adjust the Apeman to be a certain size if you say are 6 ft. away from the screen and need it to be 36"?
If you have a set screen size then you move a projector closer or further away, that’s how projectors work 👍🏼
@@johnmandy I guess that was my question. We have had some projectors that you could set the screen size rather than just move it closer or further away.
Hi I’m building my own camper van and have placed a 12v socket in the ceiling to power a mini projector like the apeman you reviewed. Can i power/recharge it from a 12v socket and does it have bluetooth capability or do you recommend i run an audio jack/cable through the ceiling to a speaker point before i finish the ceiling? Thanks, karl.
It’s rechargeable via usb and you need to use hdmi to get a signal to the projector.
Gadget John. Oh yer forgot about getting a signal to the projector lol. However the blue tooth question was relating to a speaker connection. Can it bluetooth the sound to my bluetooth speaker or will i need a cable to it please? Thanks karl. Keep up the good work too :)
Whats the name of the projectors?
Hi, sorry if you have answered this a million times...if i only have a phone, can i still use this projector?
If your phone supports hdmi out then yes, most android phones you can get a hdmi cable that will work.
If you're watching live TV, you're required to buy a TV Licence.
