Nebula Capsule portable projectors at a glance

What we like

  • Very small and light, and built to run on its internal battery for a movie
  • Built-in speaker and streaming on many versions, so setup is quick
  • Easy to carry between rooms, patios and the camping trip

Trade-offs

  • Dim for dusk, so plan on full darkness or a smaller picture
  • The small speaker is not enough for a lawn full of people
  • Battery life varies, so plug it in for a long film
Best for
Small groups and kids watching on a modest screen once it is fully dark.
Skip it if
