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.

This gadget along with my Eufy 11s robovac have got to be my top 2 favorite purchases/investments this year, if not this decade. I've been eyeing portable projectors on and off for a few years now because I don't own a TV and don't want to bc I find them clunky and easily outdated. So I tend to watch videos on my laptop instead. That's gotten hard on the eyes over the years and not so great for when I have guests over. I've only had this little powerhouse for less than a week but I'm already in love! I'm pretty indecisive, esp with large purchases, so I looked at a lot of options before opting for the Nebula b/c it's kind of expensive relative to some of the other pocket projectors out there. But over the years, it's the one that keeps popping up at the top of review articles/lists and had the full gamut of things that I was looking for. So I finally bit the bullet and I am SO, SO glad that I did! The Pros: - Truly Wireless: I've seen other options that didn't have bluetooth compatibility or issues w/airplay or screen mirroring. Not this guy. I've read other reviews have issues with some of the apps but maybe I'm just lucky or don't use as many as others b/c I've had no problem finding, downloading or playing from the apps I typically use. For background, those are: Amazon Prime Video, Rakuten Viki, Youtube, Hulu, Netflix, Disney+, and ESPN. - Crisp video quality: I'll upload a pic once I remember to take one soon but it's defo been great video quality for me! - Strong Battery Life: it lasts about as long as advertised, ~4hrs give or take and that is pretty darn good! When I'm binging and need battery to go longer I just plug in my portable battery pack and voila! Hours more play time. - Great Audio: powerful speaker quality, didn't have to connect it to my bluetooth speaker even once (in fact, it doubles as a bluetooth speaker on its own!) - Automatic Keystone Correction: the automatic correction isn't always perfect, esp if you try to project from an angle but it's still pretty cool that it has it as a built in function! And there's an option to override it and adjust manually as well. - Good Heft: it's got a good weight to it. That's not to say it's heavy or inconvenient at all but it has a weight that feels sturdy and non-flimsy to me. The Con: - No zoom in/out function so it's not quite as simple as placing it anywhere you want and getting the size & straightness you want. Still, given it's small size and sturdy weight, it's still pretty convenient once you fiddle around and get the right balance/location for it. - The cooling fan can be quite loud (almost as loud a traditional/old school projector) so when you're navigating around before playing a video you can definitely hear it and that kind of annoys me but it's not an issue at all once you start playing a video and the audio drowns it out. - Tripod sold separately - not a huge deal (see note above re: zoom) and I know most projectors don't include one either but for the price it would've been nice to have included and would've made the initial set up a lot more seamless.

Time to give an honest review after using this projector for a year now. I’ve grown rather complacent with this projector despite the cons because it gets the job done 80% of the time but I think for the cost, I’d hoped that I wouldn’t have the cons I have. Pros: - compact/easily portable - great picture - sound is good and can reach higher volumes - easy to mount on tripod Cons: - lacks a couple apps that would nice if downloadable (i.e. Apple TV, Starz, among others) - mirroring/casting does not work most of the time despite all my efforts and online research (works selectively, only when I want to mirror what’s on my phone screen but not when trying to mirror/cast a show from previously mentioned apps) - short battery life (can only watch one movie before it needs to be plugged in to charge)

First the not so great: Initially it is kind of a pain to set up, but after that it's great! For some reason it was having trouble connecting to Netflix at first, but once it connected it was good to go and didn't disconnect at all while watching a movie. So perhaps it was just having issue initially. If it's a consistent issue I will post and update and perhaps rethink my rating but right now I'm having no problems with it anymore and it works fantastic. Also if you are getting this device I would advise you to go into settings and update it right away that might also fix any issues you might have with the device. Setting up Netflix and signing in with your account takes a little patience but it's worth it, and once it's done your don't have to do it again. For the price I was kind of hoping it would come with a HDMI cable but that's ok I just went and bought one real quick. So if you don't have a spare lying around I would order one with this. Once you get used to the Console Control App, it is actually a lot of fun to use. Ok, now that the nitpicking is over I can get into the device more thoroughly. The speaker is really great. It's not super loud, but it's loud enough that everything is very clear. The screen also gives a GREAT picture. If there's some light out, the dark scenes in the movie or show you are watching is going to be a little hard to make out, but once the lights go out the picture is magnificent. I really am VERY impressed with the picture. There is also a knob on the side to adjust the focus depending on your distance. The device is surprisingly quiet, and it stays VERY cool. That was also surprising because I expected it to get pretty hot considering it is a projector. All around I am VERY pleased with this product and I'm so glad that this was my first choice in a projector. I've always wanted one, but they were always too bulky, and tend to be loud. This thing is just incredible. I'm amazed every day at the leaps and bounds technology is taking and I'm excited to see what comes out next as the decades go by.

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.

PRODUCT QUALITY: I absolutely LOVE this little Nebula Capsule and am VERY impressed with Anker as a whole. The projector is straightforward, easy to use and is about the size of a soda can. I struggled a little with the initial setup because mine arrived with one of the (many) Asian languages pre-loaded and I had to guess where to go to find English in the settings. Turns out it wasn't that hard by following the settings icon, and it probably would have been much easier if I had just emailed customer support. The image is super clear, and the sound is great for the size speaker that it comes with. Don't expect it to be loud enough for a giant backyard projector with lots of ambient noise, but there is Bluetooth sound capability for the times when you want it to be really loud. I connected mine (via Bluetooth) to my home theater surround sound and projected on an outdoor giant inflatable screen. We were very impressed by the image quality and processing speed of the projector streaming a Netflix movie over WiFi (6 Undergound - with lots of fast movement and detailed sound efffects). Zero lag on sound or image, and no pixelating on high-activity-fast-movement scenes. Solid product. The phone app (phone becomes a remote/mouse pad) is great too, and I find myself using it often. COMPANY RESPONSE/CUSTOMER SERVICE: I had a few questions for Anker after receiving the projector and emailed them, expecting to hear something back within 5 days or so like a normal company. They responded within 24-hours (sometimes less), and provided expertise and tons of support (even voluntarily following up with additional emails to see if I had succeeded with their advice). Wow. I can think of many household name companies that can learn a thing or two from Anker's customer support. Overall love the Nebula Capsule 1 and the customer/manufacturer relationship. A+ from me!

Update II: I exchanged the unit in the hope that the new one would behave better with respect to simultaneous streaming and bluetooth connection to an external speaker. No dice, unfortunately. The problem still exists , sadly. This has nothing to do with the available wireless bandwidth as far as I can tell. The Capsule is connected to a 5GHz wireless-N network which provides 30-40 Mbps at the location of the machine; measured using speedtest.net on an iPhone 5S. Furthermore, the internal battery lasts about 2 hours, most definitely not 4 when playing video, and that's on the 'dim' screen setting. Funny enough, even when it is plugged into the wall, the battery keeps draining when watching a video and using the internal speaker. This was definitely unexpected and reminds me of old Android phones that weren't able to charge while using the GPS due to that component's current draw. You'd hope that a projector would run indefinitely when plugged in ... not so much. So, back to 3 stars. Update: I am adding a star (and a half, 3.5 starts total) based on customer service and the fact that I was able to isolate what looks like a firmware bug. The streaming (Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube) problems described below only occur when the box is connected to an external bluetooth speaker or headphone set; no problems using the HDMI port, or playing files from storage attached via USB. This is a bummer, of course, since bluettoth connectivity is able to sidestep the small speaker built into the unit. It's a 100% reproducible bug; I used an Anker Premium Stereo Speaker and Anker Soundbuds to test this, so all three being from the same company, there shouldn't be compatibility issues, you'd think. Let's see if Anker engineers can figure this one out. We do like the Nebula, so here's to hoping that this issue can be fixed. Original Review: Let me start with the good. The device is well made and feels very solid. Great packaging as well, for those who care;-) It is ultra portable, has an HDMI input, can mirror the screen of your iPhone (either via HDMI or AirPlay, the latter shows some lag, so no good for gaming), and plays video from a USB-connected storage device. Since it is based on Android and has built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, it can run applications, such as those used to stream video content either from a local server or the internet (Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, Plex). With its built-in rechargeable battery and speaker, it is really something I could see myself bringing on a trip. While the built-in speaker isn't anything to write home about, it will keep the kids happy enough; a nice feature is the ability to connect an external Bluetooth speaker or headphones (see firmware bug described in the update). Sadly, not all is well at this point. First thing after receiving the Nebula was installing Netflix, Amazon Video, Youtube, and Plex after upgrading to the latest firmware version. Despite the Nebula being placed in the same room as the WiFi router, which is connected via a high-speed cable modem to the internet, streaming failed within 60 seconds for all of the above-listed apps; I tried clearing the cache and also rebooted the device, no improvement. I imagine that this has something to do with the buffering algorithm. I even lowered the streaming quality within the Amazon Video app, and it still didn’t change the behavior. I should mention that streaming to a Roku, a FireTV Stick, iPads, and iPhones never results in buffer problems despite those devices being located nowhere near the WiFi router. I didn't find an option to manually enter a DNS address to see if that might help. Needless to say that one of the key features of the device is the ability to operate it in a portable / standalone fashion. If none of the streaming services work, not even streaming DVD-quality video (not HD) from a local server using Plex, what's the point? I reported the problem to Anker and hope to hear back from them shortly. We have several Bluetooth speakers from Anker which we are very happy with, and I have had a good customer service experience with Anker in the past, which was one of the reasons why I went with the Nebula. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this can be resolved since the product has a lot of potential.

I have been researching this and other Nebula projectors for months. I have now owned 9 projectors now ( I know I am a nut) and one is the original Capsule 1 100 ANSI lumens, and while it's a good projector and was so unique at the time it was released, it wasn't as bright as I'd like, the speaker is so/so and when using an external bluetooth speaker, the video and audio don't synch and that's frustrating as hell. I decided to order the Nebula Capsule 3 GTV (non laser version) and so glad I did. After adding to my cart and deleting and re adding to my cart multiple times, I finally bit the bullet and hit the place order now button and it arrived the next day. What an upgrade from the Capsule 1!! First off, it's a little larger and has built in Google Tv which is great. I only just turned it on yesterday, and I was in a hurry to watch NFL games, so I connected my Roku streaming stick since all my apps were already loaded, signed in etc. The old Capsule did not have a USB-A port so I couldn't connect a Roku. One of the reason I chose the Capsule 3 over the laser model was the USB-A, USB-C, HDMI and AUx out ports. I thought I might need to connect an external speaker so AUX port is handy, but more on that later. The picture was beautiful. SO colorful and bright enough during the day. I did close a curtain to darken the room, but I left a lamp on and the picture was fine. Last night we turned off all lights and the picture was amazing! So clear, in focus edge to edge which was such a nice surprise . Other projectors I own are clear in the center of the screen but blurry the further you get to the edges. This is particularly noticeable when text and scores are scrolling by at the bottom of the screen. This projector projects a very clear and vibrant picture edge to edge . I am using a 84" screen. There is a tiny bit of screen door effect on white images, but I didn't notice it after a while as the picture image was so beautiful and colorful. But the most impressive thing about this projector is the sound. WOW! I mean it sounds amazing. No need to hook up a blue tooth speaker or plug in an external speaker to the AUX port. No worry about audio and video synching. The sound from the Capsule 3 speakers is great..highs and lows are heard and sound great. After 1st turning on the Nebula Capsule 3, It took me about 15 minutes to realize I was listening to the projector speakers and not my bluetooth speaker. With my other projector, it automatically connects to my Bose when I turn it on. So I was blown away once I realized I was listening to the Capsule 3 speakers. I only had the volume at 40% and it was very loud and very clear. So happy about this feature. Today I plan on setting up Google TV and the apps I subscribe to on the Nebula Capsule 3. Hopefully they stream as smoothly as my Roku and I won't have to use a streaming stick. The remote is very nice and feels good in the hand. It has a few built in app buttons,Netflix, Prime video and Youtube. It also has handy backlighting so you can see the buttons in the dark.This is a very welcome feature. I haven't found all the fine tuning features as yet, but I did turn off the auto keystone as I was moving the little projector around on the stand a bit to get the picture to fit the screen perfectly, and each time I did, it would auto keystone again which was a pain so I turned it off. This model does have a zoom button, so you can reduce and increase the picture size. I don't think my Capsule 1 offered that. I also bought as a bundle the Nebula Capsule 3 carry case and it fits the projector and all the cords etc perfectly. I plan on bringing this with us when we travel so it will protect the Capsule 3 and be easy to transport and keep all accessories organized. My one recommendation to Nebula is for a longer power cord. It uses a UCB-C for the charging. It also has a built in battery which is rated for 2.5 hrs of play back in Eco mode. I will have to check that out. I will use the battery on occasion, but probably keep it plugged in so we can watch it at it's brightest and this is why a longer cord would be nice. I am so, so impressed in every way with the Nebula Capsule 3. And I think it offers more options than the Capsule 3 laser since it has the USB-A port. Save your money and get this Capsule 3. Don't think this will replace a larger dedicated home theater, but for an easy set up, portable projector with great picture and sound you will love it.
