Capsule 3 GTV Portable Mini Projector, Netflix Officially Licensed, 1080P Smart Projector with Wi-Fi, 2.5 hrs Battery, 120-Inch Display, Dolby Digital, for Any Space

Compared a few portable projectors for use in my van. I want to remove my ceiling-mounted TV because I keep bumping my head on it, so I'm looking for something easy to set up and compact. Pairing this with a 40-inch Pile self-standing screen. I compared the Aurzen Boom Air and Nebula Capsule 3. Overall, I like the Nebula Capsule 3 and will keep that. - Picture Sharpness > Nebula - Brightness > tied between the two - Sound > Nebula (Clearer and fuller) - Overall projector noise > Nebula (you can hear the fan in the Aurzen) - Cost > Aurzen Boom Air - Overall value > Nebula If you can get the Nebula on sale, spend the extra 100 dollars for a better overall product. - Smaller footprint and more portable, especially for travel and camping. - Built-in battery makes it super easy to whip out and get your video up and running. no fuss.

It works well and I'm impressed with the video and sound quality. Setup was very easy, and the Google TV Interface is very intuitive. I'm planning on using this projector while camping on a 40" screen. So power is important to me. In measuring the power, it needs 20 volts, so not all USB battery banks will work. On the watts end, I measured 36 watts on standard while the interior battery was charging. After the battery was charged, it dropped down to 26 watts. On eco mode with a charged battery, it drew 15 watts. The automatic focus and keystone works well too, and actavates each time the unit is powered on. Also, dispite some of the reviews and comments, it does have a zoom function, but it's well hidden in the settings mune. As for the brightness, it is perfectly fine on smaller screens.

Great projector, good clarity of the projection, great software and great sound in the speakers. This is the perfect travel companion.

Extremely happy with the size and quality of this projector. The picture clarity and color is excellent up to the edge of its limits, specifically in the dark. Light does reduce picture brightness and quality respectively to how bright it is. It's extremely portable, but I do recommend getting a screw in stand to help position the screen better. The obstacle avoidance and depth detector works well. There is a bit of delay when using the remote, so account for that. The sound is decent but connecting a Bluetooth speaker is preferable.

This will save you a lot of research... I'll address some of the "pitfalls" that others have mentioned in their initial reviews first and then will tell you how much I like this device. - Limited App store: I found this to be the case at first, but with help from an awesome Nebula representative named Ashley, there's a very simple workaround and YOU CAN DOWNLOAD MOST APPS. Go to APKpure.com and download the android app installers to a thumb drive. Then plug the thumb drive into the capsule and install the apps. It's really simple and I wasn't sketched out by the process (I'm pretty hesitant to download things from unknown sources) and it worked like a charm. I now have Sling TV, HBO Go, Showtime Anytime, and most of the apps I couldn't download from the native store. Took me about 20 minutes to find, download, and install all of the apps I wanted. - Brightness: it's really pretty impressive. You have to consider that this thing is the size of a soda can... You don't need the room to be super dark to get a pretty bright picture from about 3-8 feet from the wall. In a reasonably dark room, you can back up to about 10-11 feet away and get a massive screen, with pretty good clarity and brightness. - Sound: again, consider what this device is. Its the size of a coke can. It's not bad. The best thing about this gadget is that its really so portable, and its so easy to just place on a table, turn it on and start watching. The throw range on this projector is great for how you'll use it- you will have somewhere between an 80-100 inch screen from the average coffee table. It's also awesome that it runs android and therefore can house a ton of native apps and you don't have to always lug another device around with the projector. The battery will easily get you through a movie even if you're also using the speaker. For movies, I'd say you want to connect to a separate bluetooth speaker. Final point is that both Anker and Nebula will never really let you down. The customer service experience is fantastic and they are more than happy to let you beta test new features. UPDATE: After a few weeks of everyday use, I like this thing even more. All of the features you get for the price make this a great value-- and it's sturdy as hell. I've already knocked it off my coffee table and it is fine. I'm projecting onto a white wall about 10 feet from the projector and in dark settings, the screen is roughly 7'x4' and the contrast is pretty decent/pretty good. The focus wheel is really sensitive, so I find that sometimes I am super impressed by the picture clarity, and sometimes I just can't seem to get it right no matter how hard I try. That said, it's definitely going to exceed your expectations in terms of overall picture (given its size and price tag) and it is really well built. Some of the apps I downloaded via my little trick are finicky and don't work sometimes, but sling tv and YouTube Tv work pretty well as well as obviously the native apps like Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, etc. And get a tripod... I got Flexible and Sturdy Phone Tripod 12 Inch Mini Tripod Stand Smartphone Tripod and Action Camera Tripod for GoPro Camera iPhone Android Phone and it works great.

I had this projector since early this year. I've been using it for our vacations overseas, camping, in my garage while I was working on something. Occasionally we would have a movie night in our kids bedrooms. I sometimes use it while I am in my bed... I project it to my ceiling and lay down and watch all night... LOL Okay, if you are to complain that picture quality is poor I would say don't get this. Compared to the size of this projector picture quality is acceptable to my standards and actually it's pretty good. Sound quality is not bad either. I had no problem hearing the sound and if I needed more volume I would use an external speaker but with it's 360 degree speaker it was good enough most occasions. I stream Netflix, Amazon Prime Video through it's apps or use screen mirror on my iphone. I also stream movies using my DNLA capable NAS in my home network using VLC Player app. I know you can use Chromecast to stream but I don't bother since with the Netflix, Amazon Prime app and streaming from my home DNLA server is enough to watch at home. I had my son connect to xbox one through HDMI in our ski trip that we went with the friends and families and the kids had so much fun and they loved it! Capsule is now our must take item for any trips we make. When WiFi is not available I use the hot spot on my phone to stream Netflix or Amazon Prime or just use screen mirroring or have some movies copied into USB drive and watch it that way. There are many useful features you can use to enjoy your Capsule in many ways in difference occasions. Like I keep saying, this small projector has everything that it can offer to be portable and to my opinion that's the best part of owning this unit. Only downside you may find is "IF" you are looking for HD quality video. It's 480P and as your screen size gets bigger it will be blurry. For me up to about 60" screen size was pretty acceptable to enjoy. Also, do not expect to use this on a daylight. Most projectors are not good when you use it in daylight unless you pay a lot for a high-end unit. This projector works best when the room is dark. I find that having window shades down will help during the day time but when it's very bright day it won't work. I am a gadget geek and I just ordered Mars 2. I am curious to see if 300 lumens vs 100 lumens makes a lot of difference and also the 720p resolution which Mars 2 supports. I am sure there will be some noticeable differences but I am sure Mars 2 won't beat the mobility of Capsule. One of the things that you should consider is that Capsule can be charged with an external battery pack with the micro USB port in the back. So if you are outdoors and have no access to wall outlet then you can connect the power bank and keep watching with extended playtime. For Mars 2 you can't really do that because it requires higher power input than what normal external power banks offer and you can only charge through DC input using the proprietary power adapter. I ordered a laptop charger with enough output and I will be testing it with the new Mars 2 but it's pretty big and it will be cumbersome to carry Mars 2 and the big power bank. I know for sure that I will miss my Capsule's mobility. Bottom line - I like the Capsule very much so far and if Capsule 2 was on the market now I would certainly have upgraded to that but won't be available until mid next year and I'd love to get my hands on Capsule 2 if my budget will allow that when time comes.

Bought this projector for presentations since it is portable and seemed like a good replacement to conventional classroom projectors. The image only looks good. But you need complete darkness. A cracked door or open window will drown out the image. The set up is not as intuitive as I would have hoped. There are a lot a features which can become overwhelming if you are considering purchasing for one specific purpose. Bring an extension cord with you because the battery will probably drain before you are finished. I think that most people will enjoy the novelty and the connectivity. I give it three stars because it did function, although did not have a good user experience.

Overall this is an awesome product for it's size, features & picture quality. Just a litle larger than a soda can and you have a world of entertainment in the palm your hand. The Nebula Capsule 3 Laser Projector amazes on several levels. The sound that is projected is shockingly loud. I fill a bedroom thats 14 x14 at only 32 percent volume. The picture quality is mindblowing, mind you a good quality projector screen is a factor to maximize this...which I don't have yet. See video for a sample of out of the box settings image quality. There are so many adjustments to picture, screen size, sound ect. that cheaper projectors won't have and are found on this Nebula Capsule 3 Laser Projector. The user interface is slow to navigate due to the Google user interface with all the widgets, info, video previews, recommendations ect. which slows down the performance of this unit badly. The fix you might ask, well just look at the fifth picture for the answer. The Nubula Capsule 3 Laser Projector was faster to navigate, open/close apps & respond to remote button presses by a factor of ten (10) after the fix. The only negative that I have so far would be the remote, it won't light up when picked up every time, very frustrating. So I have to either press mute or raise then lower the volume for the remote buttons to light up most of the time. If the remote operated like the Nvidia Shield TV Pro Remote does then this would be a perfect projector. For those that were disappointed about the brightness, well remember this. A projector is meant to be viewed in a dark room, like when you go to the movies with NO LIGHTS ON. In my bedroom I have a nightstand lamp set to low and it doesn't affect the projectors picture at all. Overall I am highly pleased and enjoy the fact that I can watch a monster picture in my bedroom all from a projector that fits in my hand that's just a little larger than a soda can. Traveling with this is so convenient for it's size and the accessories that you can get. I got the tripod, case & portable screw mounted stand all from Anker. So yeah with the projector and all the accessories it's pricey though I bought when on sale at Amazon & saved a lot, all accessories were like free with money saved and then some. I highly recommend the Nebula Capsule 3 Laser Projector, one of many purchases that I love. Also remember made by a reputable company that puts customers first & listens to them.....Anker!
