Anker - Capsule 3 Laser

Honestly, I love my nebula capsule 3. And liked my capsule 2 before that. I love that it can sit in a semi-permanent spot next to the bed, but I can also just haul it somewhere else.

Portable projectors are generally super limited. Brightness is ass due to low power design, which is a must as you're sacrificing a big light engine for portability. But for general vacation use, all three projectors you're contemplating are quite okay. I'd probably go with the Nebula Capsule 3 Laser primarily because laser light sources can be brighter at lower power use (meaning you don't need a complete blackout room). Plus you get Android TV with relatively good support, whereas Samsung has a tendency of forgetting about their Tizen devices that aren't the best selling mainline product...

Really happy with my Nebula Capsule 3 Laser. Battery life could be better but I have yet to use it where an outlet is truly not an option.

If you’re just getting into it and want something portable + not crazy expensive, I’d say check out the XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro or Nebula Capsule 3. Both are solid for first-time use, decent image, and easy to carry around. The MoGo 2 Pro probably gives you better brightness and image quality overall, but the Nebula Capsule is more compact if you’re thinking about camping/travel. Just don’t expect crazy brightness unless you’re in a dark room. If you end up liking it, you can always upgrade later. These are both good “safe” options to start with without blowing a bag.

I am absolutely no expert at this, but I recently decided we needed a projector and screen in our cabin for outdoor movie watching in the summer evenings. First I bought a 1000 projector and when it arrived I never opened the box, I just decided that was too much to spend on a first time try at this. I sent it back. After a lot of research I bought a nebula capsule series 3 projector and a aajk 150 inch screen that I strung up across our 7 x 14 garage door on our Detached garage. I am absolutely amazed at how well it worked. Couldn’t be happier. The screen was $28, some bungee cords and some eye hooks for five dollars. The projector was 399+ about another $25 for a case. I had a tripod already to put it on. The sky wasn’t 100% dark yet and the back patio light was on at the back of the cabin, but I put a baseball game up and was just amazed at how good the picture and sound were. Before I took it up to the cabin this weekend, last week, I was having to give a PowerPoint presentation in a conference room and the TV in the room was broken so I went ahead and took it in there and projected it up on a kind of dark gray wall, and it worked great in that room with the fluorescent lights on as well. https://preview.redd.it/emfnta45e77f1.jpeg?width=3347&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7aac91b74c78bde108928cd982e6ecd0f75f9ea4

I own all the nebula portable projectors and here's some thoughts.. If you want to go over 100" outside then you need more lumens than what the capsule or mars air is going to give you. The capsule laser 3 in my readings made 444 Lumens, outpatient what it's rated for but it's still pretty dim in all but ideal conditions.. and going to 200" is just not going to happen. The regular Mars 3 (not air) got 1064 Lumens in my testing and would work great for this case. Also, it has a huge 185wh battery. Either one I still hook to a battery bank so I can run full brightness for longer. Remember the capsule 3 goes down to lile 150 lumens on battery eco mode. I think your case screams Mars 3

Love my Anker nebulas
