  • Amazing picture and sound for such a small device
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. ... show more

  • Great little projector!
Set name: Capsule 3
Honestly wasn’t too sure what to expect. A little bit of a mixed bag in the reviews. However, this is a great little projector. Super easy to use and great quality for what we use it for, which is basically outdoors on a white sheet (can’t even tell it’s just on a sheet) and on our mildly textured bedroom walls (also can’t tell it’s textured behind it). In my opinion in and outside it looks almost as good as our TV and the autofocus and other picture features are a breeze. Watched a movie outside just after last light and it did great, a little bit of a louder neighborhood and some additional speakers might help if you have multiple people in different areas, but for our purposes for two people it’s great. Inside you can’t even tell the sound difference. Cool projector would definitely buy again. ... show more

  • Pretty incredible
Set name: Capsule 3 Laser
Very bright, detailed and colorful projection. Even in a daylit room, the image is impressive, in dark or dusk amazing. Given it's size, portability and battery life, there's nothing like it. If you want a handy YouTube or Netflix projector, this is clearly it. Mirroring your Android mobile screen is clunky, but possible. I sent back the recommended manufacturer carry case and tilt stand, far better ones are available. ... show more

  • Small, portable, and really great picture and sound for a projector
Set name: Capsule 3
I love my projector more than I've ever loved my TV. After a move I sold my TV and kept my projector. The Nebula capsule 3 has really great sound and picture. I did some research when picking this one, and I preferred it for its small size, quality of picture and sound, portability, and price. I've projected on white closet doors and not really noticed the doors behind the image. Now, I use it in my living room on a light yellow wall and I can adjust the settings for the color of my wall. I like hosting people for movie nights and the projector is great because the picture is so big and no one has to fight for a good spot to see what we're watching. I like that it integrates with all of my streaming platforms too. It takes a minute to turn on, but otherwise it's a responsive system. ... show more

  • SO HAPPY With This-- but READ THIS FIRST!!
I feel like a lot of the negative reviews didn't do their research before choosing a projector, and didn't bother to actually read any instructions... I spent hours comparing and contrasting projectors and finally settled on this one because of the built in apps. You *can not* airplay copyrighted content from your phone onto ANY projector (ie. Netflix/Hulu). With other, cheaper projectors, people plug in an EXTRA streaming device in order to utilize these apps. So they had to buy a projector PLUS a fire stick or roku or had to get a cable for their phone... all a lot of hubbub I didn't want to deal with. This projector has the apps built into it, so they all run from the projector alone. A lot of people said it didn't work with iPhone and I feel like this is because they were trying to airplay content instead of using the apps on the projector itself. I actually was able to airplay from the iphone MTV app (before I found out that the projector had one to download) and the video quality was delayed a lot. So just use the built in apps. They're there for a reason. However, using a mobile device is still required in terms of navigating through your apps. The remote control works for the projector's menu, but some apps like Hulu require you to use your phone as the remote control through the Nebula app. It basically turns your phone into a trackpad and a mouse. Easy to get the hang of. There's also a keyboard that pops up which makes it easy to search titles or input login info through your phone so you don't have to select one letter at a time. The app works fine on my iPhone 13 without any lag or connectivity issues. **** Now here's where you really need to pay attention:**** the app comes with Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime pre-loaded. Out of the box, you won't find Hulu US, Disney or HBO in the app store. Look on your main menu to see if there's an Upgrade button. If there is, go through those steps which will update the software and unlock those apps in the app store for you. If there isn't (or this doesn't work) send an email to their support asking to unlock the apps and they'll send you the instructions and a password to do so within 24 hours (seriously, they're really responsive even on weekends). Apparently they are still testing the projector's compatibility with these apps which is why it doesn't come default, but the updating process is simple (10 min) and all apps have run smoothly for me. I probably use Hulu the most out of all. The battery life has been pretty accurate for me-- 4 hours of watching straight before I get a notice that I'm low battery and need to charge. I've gotten down to 2%, then plugged it in and kept watching and that worked as well, so it charges faster than it burns battery which is nice. I also LOVE that there's an option to warp the projection image, which means if you have this projecting at an angle, you can adjust the picture so that it looks like it's being projected straight on and it's not stretched. We have it resting on our bed's headboard but the picture looks like it's being projected straight across the room. As it runs, there's a pretty subtle fan sound but that usually gets drowned out by the video's audio. It can get pretty loud (though we only watch it inside, not sure how it sounds outside). So overall, I think this is the BEST choice in projector if you don't want to deal with extra plugs, streaming devices, and you're willing to deal with the short update process even if that means emailing them. I've seriously enjoyed using it as a bedroom TV, as we had no place to put a physical TV but we had a big blank wall that works perfectly as a "screen" for this. ... show more

  • Not impressed - welcome to dongle life
I wanted to like the Nebula Capsule projector. I really did ... the size and the speakers are delightful. To be fair, here is what I liked - small size - great sound (plenty loud enough) - able to install Amazon Prime Video and stream my movies over wifi HOWEVER, the Nebula Capsule has a number of issues that I can't stand. For prospective buyers, you need to be aware of these problems: 1. DIM PROJECTION -- If there is ANY ambient light, you will not be able to see the screen projected further than two feet. I can use it at night. Or in a bathroom with no windows. Or possibly camping under starlight. My kids can project onto a piece of paper a foot away. At short range, the image looks great -- but what's the point when a tablet is the same size with better screen? I've used pico projectors years ago when they first came out, and expected the Nebula capsule to be brighter. It isn't. 2. USB DONGLE LIFE -- I bought a 32gb (Fat32) USB flash drive to play back my movie collection. Unfortunately, the device ONLY has a micro-USB port so you have to use a dongle (included) to use USB flash drives. Now my projector has a permanent rat's tail poking off the back. This looks dumb and you can't charge the device while using the USB dongle. 3. REMOTE CONTROL REQUIRED -- This absolutely floored me. I assumed I'd be able to control the device entirely with buttons on the projector. Nope. You have to use the included remote control so you better not lose it. The capsule's amazing form factor becomes less impressive when you have to carry another accessory to make it work. The capsule phone app works pretty well but I'm not letting my kids have my phone just to pause their video. 4. THE ROCKER BUTTON KIND OF SUCKS -- The device has four buttons on a rocker. Volume Up, Volume Down, Power, and Bluetooth speaker mode. If my kids try to change volume -- or hold the device the wrong way -- the rocker activates the wrong button and the unit powers down or goes into bluetooth search mode. The children then bring the projector back to me so I can find their video or use my remote to cancel the bluetooth error message. Poor design. 5. CAN'T USE BUILT IN MEMORY -- I can't figure out how to do it. I assumed the built-in file explorer would have a function for copying files off the USB and moving them into internal storage, but I can't find this function. I've never used android before, but I believe this is some kind of stripped down "tv android." I tried plugging the projector into my clean Windows 10 PC and the Nebula doesn't show up as a storage device. What's the point of having all that memory if you can't put videos on it? For apps, I suppose. I tried searching for online manual or PC drivers and can't find any manuals on on anker/nebula's website. The tiny printed manual is less than helpful. I guess I'm stuck watching videos off the dongle. I'm sure you techies have some weird workaround, but people shouldn't have to jump through hoops for this function. 6. FIRMWARE -- failed a few times. Finally downloaded completely, but the device wouldn't let me update until the battery was charged to over 50%. It didn't matter that the device is plugged directly into the wall. This thing charges SLOW so I'm going to have to wait hours to install the firmware and see if it fixes any of these issues. Update: it didn't. 7. LOUD FAN -- I can live with this, but this is the loudest cooling fan I've ever had on a portable electronics device under five pounds. It almost sounds like white noise. Reminds me of the fan on my old 3000-lumen Epson projector - that device was 30 times brighter and used a halogen bulb, though. 8. HARD TO ANGLE -- the image is projected slightly upward and can't be aimed. The cylindrical shape and round footprint of the Nebula capsule make it hard to angle the device. If you slip a book under one edge, the capsule rolls over. The cube shaped projectors (like the Mars) are easier in this regard. You almost HAVE to get a tripod with this Nebula Capsule's round design. Summary - the Nebula capsule is a neat device, especially if it had come out years ago when the first pico projectors hit the scene. The form factor is cool and the sound is especially impressive for such a small gadget. However, the projected screen is dim and the projector requires dongles and remote controls to use properly. The Mars seems like a better option as it is brighter (though only 500 ansi lumens), has a full-sized USB jack (no dongles), and most importantly has ALL the control buttons on top. I generally like Anker products (especially their battery packs) and wish the company much success. However, I recommend passing on the Nebula Capsule. Mine is going back. ... show more

  • One of my favorite purchases in the last few years
I love this this little projector. It surpasses all my expectations, and honestly it's probably one of my favorite purchases from the last few years. It's essentially like a soda-can size TV set that can project an image many times the size of our actual TV, onto any suitable surface anywhere. It's like having a portable cinema in my pocket. We have a giant window in our living room with a white roller blind, and turns out it's the perfect surface for a projector—instant movie theater! We used it to play Mario Kart the other day, and it was really cool to play split screen on such a giant surface. We've also watched Youtube videos in bed while projecting it on our bedroom ceiling, and screened movies using a wall at a friend's house. The other day we held a party and used it to do video projections on a way for ambience. I was worried about the brightness, but the Nebula is impressively bright. Obviously it doesn't work well in bright daylight, but you only need the ambient light to be somewhat dim for this to work fantastically, and the smaller the projected area, the brighter it is. The three things that are most impressive to me are the sound, the battery life, and the size. It really IS the size of a soda can, and honestly I can't believe all that picture and sound and battery life fits into that tiny package. The sound truly is impressive. There have been multiple times when I'm watching something like a music video, and I suddenly realize with surprise that all this big sound we're hearing is all being projected from this tiny little can, and it's not actually hooked up to a sound system. The battery life so far has also surpassed expectations. I figured it would be enough to stream one movie, but the first week we got it we were affected by the Norcal blackouts, and we were able to stream two movies with it still going strong. If I could change one thing, it would be the fact that out of it the box, it locks you into their walled garden platform with their own app store, so the apps you install are not the actual Android apps from the Google store. We've so far used YouTube and Netflix, and they are each slightly wonky in their own way. The YouTube is some sort of weird generic YouTube app that doesn't let you log in to your own YT account. For me it means that if you want to play from your own playlists you have to search for it, and also I have to sit through commercials even though normally I have a paid Youtube Red account. Their Netflix app is essentially the desktop Netflix page. It doesn't respond to their remote and only works if you download their Nebula controller app on your phone. Apparently you can call customer support to get a developer code to unlock it, but I've yet to try that yet. ... show more

  • This has been the best purchase I've made technology wise in a while
Set name: Capsule 3 Laser
Short backstory as to why I got this and how it's handled what I've thrown at it. I needed something light and compact (as portable as possible). I traveled overseas so luggage space as always is tight. It has handled everything from a two foot drop onto concrete (not sure if it was perfect conditions or what) but it did not break, crack or malfunction the entire time since then, it has handled the added heat, and additionally the extra dust/microdust. The lens is a little scratched up but I feel that's to be expected with how much I've traveled with it at this point. I carried it in my backpack, and a pelican case at times. My prior purchase of a 480p SK UO smart beam portable mini projector left me worried that I wouldn't be able to find something portable enough while at the same time not sacrificing picture quality, battery (having one at all), casting capability/hdmi as well as bluetooth, and more. How I'd rate this on different aspects in depth (short version at the end) Picture quality - I rate at a 5/5 for the size this projector is and how mobile it can be. The auto adjust and auto avoidance for obstacles is handy as hell being I've been in tents, shotty "hotels", etc. for this and let me tell you nine times out of ten the floors uneven/ not level or the wall is or the item you have it on is not level (I purchased the base they sell for it for an additional amount from the website itself, highly recommend it for portability and being able to set it on a raised flat surface). IT IS A TRUE 1080P. Big aspect for me with gaming, watching TV and movies. Sound quality - 4/5 on this; I'm biased on this because a JBL Flip 5 sounds good compared to it BUT that speaker is only a little but slimmer than the projector and is the same height as the projector. Overall the sound quality is good, it can be loud but that's also dependent on the app your using. I'm looking at you HBO Max! (Max is a bit quiet on the app/casting to the projector, Bluetooth speaker solved that though so no big deal) The battery - 4/5 for size of this thing. I can watch maybe a 1 hour 10 minute movie with battery saver on with sound playing from this (that's using WIFI and or casting to it) The operating system - 4/5 it does what you need it to do. I will say, I had some troubles at first that I wish I knew the answers to like connecting an external hard drive for movies/shows (your hard drive won't receive power from this thing to run so plan accordingly, never got that to work didn't look into hard drives of that sort if they exist) I used my laptop mostly with either screen sharing from my phone to the laptop with a HDMI cable to the projector or just HDMI from laptop to the projector. It does have built-in applications that you can download like MAX and others but not all of the big name ones are available, I'm not tech savvy enough to change the operating system and don't want to. Further into the functionality of settings - they are easy to find with the remote (the touch buttons on the top of the projector are too finicky for my liking), after you use it a few times it becomes second hand (I still bump the screen auto correct button every once in a while and get blinded by the brightness of the white picture it uses). I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff but that's my honest review of this and I hope it helps some of you make a decision on it based on your needs. If I could've lugged around a bigger, nicer (cheaper), projector I would've but space is always tight when traveling. Feel free to ask questions and I'll answer as best I can. *ABBREVIATED VERSION OF THE ABOVE If you're on the fence of buying this and need something portable (truly portable, the battery technology is not there in my opinion), but if you can find a power source (65w I believe?), it will work great for you. Size & weight is perfect, image is great, and sound quality and volume is good. 10/10 would recommend. I was not paid for this review. I got bored after explaining how I liked it to a friend. I will continue to use this at home as well. If it and once it reaches the end of its life I will update this post. ... show more
