Mini projector, Vamvo Ultra Mini Portable Projector 1080p supported HD DLP LED Rechargeable Pico Projector with HDMI, USB, TF, and Micro SD, Supports iPhone Android Laptop PC Projectors for Outdoor

First lets get it out of the way. This is not an everyday watch movies in your home theater projector. This is a portable projector perfect for presentations and movies while traveling.Now that that's out of the way--I love this thing! I highly recommend it for work and travel. This is perfect for watching movies outside, work or school presentations, etc. I travel fairly constantly for work and give lots of presentations and have lots of down time in random very out of the way places with my work crews--this is perfect for just such times. If you want a permanent every day projector this is probably not what you're looking for.PROS:1) It is portable. I can't overstate this. I have an old Samsung Galaxy Note 4 that I use as my phone and this projector is exactly the same dimensions as the phone, just about 2.5 times as think (about an inch thick). See the picture for the size comparison.2) It is powerful: This is relative to it's size, of course, but on a painted yellow textured wall in moderate lighting we could see the picture with good clarity (ok, ok, as far as quantifiable tests go this doesn't really go far, but I was impressed). When we got rid of most of the ambient light we were amazed at how bright it was.3) The picture is clear and crisp. At about 30" in diagonal it is extremely clear and crisp. We had it up to 100" and the clarity faded a bit but not much at all--a lot of that probably due to the less than ideal surface onto which we were projecting. It was still a great picture. I havem't tried it out larger than 100" due to space but I will try it as soon as I can.4) Simple to use: There is a remote that helps, but in reality I just mirrored my phone screen and went to town. I used a micro usb to usb cable (typical samsung charging cable) and connected my phone to the projector. I used the suggested EZCast app and it worked fine. It took some work to figure out how to get it connected but I'm pretty sure that is an issue arising from the app, not the projector. HDMI looks to be even easier--I currently don't have the correct HDMI cord to connect to my computer, but the projector has a full size, normal HDMI port. Just plug and play for a computer!CONS:1) Sturdiness and craftsmanship: The build on the thing doesn't fill me with confidence. The plastic that its made out of seems fragile and cheap. The paint lines are visible on the painted portion, the focus wheel is loose and has a fair amount of play. There are small details in the plastic work such as the setting for the tripod receiver and such that could be cleaned up. This is unfortunate because overall the craftsmanship does not reflect how it performs! The performance is stellar, the craftsmanship not so much.Some of this can be overcome by getting a good case for it--I would suggest the hermitshell case-it has premolded compartments for all of the components and provides the hard protective shell and refined finish that the projector itself lacks.2) Setup for screen mirroring on a phone. I hesitate to add this one because it could be my phone or the app that I used (EZCast) rather than the projector, however on my Samsung Note 4 using the suggested app it took a while and some playing with phone settings to get the thing to work. I'm still not exactly how I got it to work, but somehow it started mirroring. Computer is easier--just plug and play via HDMI.

The media could not be loaded. I honestly wasn't expecting much from such a small projector, but was really impressed with the brightness and color contrast this little guy achieves. All projectors struggle in a fully lit room but this one does surprisingly well especially with such a small form factor. I have attached three photos of the same frame with the lights on completely, at half-dim, and off. As expected, the picture looks great in the dark and is still clear with the lights half dimmed, but even with the lights fully on in my room the picture has enough definition to watch something and the colors make their way through. In addition, this was while projecting to a screen width of around 90 inches and a height of around 50, which is past this projector's recommended optimal screen size. For scale, the bed in front of the wall is a king size and the screen width exceeds its height. I own a larger projector and the fan noise is always bothersome, but you have to try pretty hard to hear the fan on this one...it hardly whispers. I also watched a full movie on it right out of the box so I feel comfortable saying that the estimated 2 hours of battery life is accurate, or at least extremely close. This thing really is the epitome of portability. The only negatives I can say are that the focus is a bit sensitive, and while sufficient the speaker sound is a tad tinny. But it would be silly to expect theater sound from something that fits in your pocket and was designed for portability, so simply plugging in a bluetooth speaker or something takes care of that and provides a great mini-theater experience.*Sidenote: in the attached video the image appears to flicker; this is a conflict between my phone camera's frame rate and the projector's refresh rate, and is not visible to the naked eye...the actual playback was completely smooth

I really like how compact this projector is. I took it on a trip recently and it was easy to pack in my suitcase but really projected a good size movie screen for us. It is really hand that it can read SD cards, Your iPhone, thumb drives and images from an HDMI cable. I use it more than my larger projector at home because it’s so convenient to get out and use without a lot of set up. I love that it comes with a tripod that folds up really tiny. The only draw backs are that the sound is not very loud so you need another speaker. Also, you can’t charge it with a power pack so you always need a wall plug. This means it’s hard to take it camping. It doesn’t have any Bluetooth or WiFi abilities. Last issue is that it needs to be in a very dark room to see. If you are watching a dark movie then you may have some trouble seeing without being in total darkness. Even with those issues, I recommend this projector because it’s worth the cost and it’s great for taking on the road as long as you have a wall plug.
