1
00:00:00,020 --> 00:00:07,919
obviously no sponsor is going to expect you to open up a video with this product

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:13,259
isn't for everyone but that's the truth which doesn't change the fact that the

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:17,400
nebula capsule 3 laser from anchor who

4
00:00:13,259 --> 00:00:20,160
sponsored this video is super cool this

5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:25,560
is a battery powered projector and not just any projector a battery-powered

6
00:00:22,380 --> 00:00:27,660
laser projector that'll get you 300 nits

7
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:32,820
of brightness up to two and a half hours of battery life and it comes in a

8
00:00:30,180 --> 00:00:37,800
handheld form factor that is literally the size of some Bluetooth speakers that

9
00:00:35,820 --> 00:00:41,040
I've seen so if you're going camping I guess it's more of a glamping trip at

10
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:44,700
this point or you just want to quickly and easily set something up whether it's

11
00:00:43,079 --> 00:00:50,160
that the kids are having a sleepover you need to quickly set up a presentation this is going to have you covered in

12
00:00:48,539 --> 00:00:55,680
terms of accessories it comes with a power adapter and a USBC power cable and

13
00:00:53,100 --> 00:01:01,860
this appears to be oh right that makes sense a remote it runs Android 11 and if

14
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:05,159
the I icons on the box or anything to go by

15
00:01:02,660 --> 00:01:09,960
it has support for Chromecast Dolby audio and perhaps most importantly

16
00:01:07,380 --> 00:01:13,860
Google Play Store now that might not seem like that big of a deal having

17
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:18,659
support for the Play Store on an Android you know TV device but I've run into

18
00:01:16,380 --> 00:01:22,439
issues time and time again with these kinds of battery powered projectors

19
00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:26,220
where they do not have proper Play Store access which means that getting apps

20
00:01:24,180 --> 00:01:30,720
like Netflix that you might want on a projector can require tedious

21
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:34,860
workarounds at best and at worst not work at All My Hope Is that we won't run

22
00:01:33,060 --> 00:01:39,920
into anything like that because that would be really awkward since again this

23
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:42,060
is a sponsored video

24
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:47,220
I'm trying to try to get the battery compartment open uh two aaa's

25
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:51,899
should get us going here we've got power microphone Google Assistant button

26
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:55,740
navigation buttons home back and settings as well as what appears to be

27
00:01:53,579 --> 00:01:59,640
volume up and down as for the unit itself it's 1080p has a built-in camera

28
00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:05,939
that's going to help us with auto Keystone and moving around to the back we've got an IR sensor pairing button

29
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:11,700
power and auxiliary input three and a half mil HDMI input and type c for power

30
00:02:09,420 --> 00:02:15,000
this is fun got a threaded insert that appears to be quarter inch on the bottom

31
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:18,000
so you could mount it to a stand if you wanted but you don't have to you can

32
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,080
just plunk it on the table like that and you're pretty much ready

33
00:02:20,099 --> 00:02:28,080
to go oh this is cool I forgot about this the

34
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:32,580
camera doesn't just do auto Keystone it does auto focus as well so it'll

35
00:02:30,660 --> 00:02:36,780
actually use Machine Vision to say okay yeah your image is in Focus or it's

36
00:02:34,260 --> 00:02:40,860
blurry and fix it for you kind of wild how small this thing is one

37
00:02:38,940 --> 00:02:45,000
of these and two of their flare Tower Bluetooth speakers would actually be

38
00:02:42,420 --> 00:02:49,500
like a sick movie theater in a in an underarm bag setup oh wait I don't have

39
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:53,040
an HD well I don't really need an HDMI input anyway do I nope not really okay

40
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,700
cool wait I didn't even need to plug it in it's battery powered what am I even

41
00:02:54,480 --> 00:03:01,440
doing oh and I didn't even show you all the controls on the top you got what is

42
00:02:59,580 --> 00:03:05,819
this power are these capacitive there's definitely back and navigation hello

43
00:03:03,660 --> 00:03:09,720
power's on the back you oh wait oh

44
00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:13,879
oh well it's almost certainly on now because these seem to be lit oh yep

45
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,560
hi uh do never look directly into a

46
00:03:17,940 --> 00:03:24,060
laser projector fortunately this one isn't like really bright because it's

47
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:29,720
meant to be battery powered so I'm not blind this is actually very cool watch

48
00:03:26,519 --> 00:03:29,720
this blurry

49
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:36,860
boom focused now something I want to know is if I put it somewhere uneven is

50
00:03:34,379 --> 00:03:36,860
it just gonna

51
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,239
come on baby can you do it it tells you to block you're blocking the camera oh

52
00:03:40,860 --> 00:03:47,040
I'm in the way of the camera oh for crying out loud okay fine fine fine I

53
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,280
mean honestly you never want Keystone if you can avoid it anyway but I just

54
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:54,180
wanted to see the capability so I'm gonna go find something uneven oh it's a

55
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:58,739
very saggy binder there's almost nothing in it crap this may not work I think it

56
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:02,400
did it but let's get the test pattern up a little more permanently before we

57
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:07,260
really evaluate it quickly set up with your Android phone oh cool okay sure

58
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:12,420
oh wow I didn't even have to do any of that it just prompted me I mean to be

59
00:04:08,940 --> 00:04:14,099
clear any Android TV will do this same

60
00:04:12,420 --> 00:04:18,540
thing it's just nice when it actually works

61
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:22,500
oh cool there's a dedicated button for autofocus and Q oh right right that was

62
00:04:20,940 --> 00:04:26,520
right that button I glossed over earlier above the Google Assistant button we've

63
00:04:24,660 --> 00:04:31,560
got power microphone Google Assistant button you can use it as a Bluetooth

64
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:36,300
speaker all right wow it's got four stars in the Play Store any companion

65
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:40,680
app for a piece of Hardware that's like to configure it almost invariably has

66
00:04:38,940 --> 00:04:46,139
like two stars what are even happening right now

67
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:51,720
oh I have a mouse

68
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:54,300
that is actually kind of cool the number

69
00:04:51,720 --> 00:05:00,259
of times that I have wished that I had something like this on my shield TV many

70
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:03,900
oh no that was volume

71
00:05:00,259 --> 00:05:05,400
that it okay I opened the settings a

72
00:05:03,900 --> 00:05:08,639
little laggy a little laggy on the volume control no no no no we've

73
00:05:07,020 --> 00:05:12,660
darkened our room a little bit now this is still not dark dark like if you uh

74
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:16,320
point over there we've got ambient light coming into the office but we want to

75
00:05:14,699 --> 00:05:20,040
give it a reasonable chance right because it's laser even though the

76
00:05:17,820 --> 00:05:24,180
brightness isn't really high because the darks are so dark you actually end up

77
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:27,900
with a reasonably vibrant image even with a little bit of ambient light

78
00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:35,759
is it playing the same clip again it was song of the Moon here previewing okay I

79
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:40,620
did not even know that the Android TV YouTube app had audio previews that's

80
00:05:38,100 --> 00:05:45,300
extremely obnoxious Google please know I'm an expert no way it's got e-arc you

81
00:05:43,860 --> 00:05:50,400
can hook this thing up to a sound bar how much storage does it have 16 gigs

82
00:05:48,180 --> 00:05:53,820
okay of which four is taken up I'm assuming because it says there's 12

83
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:57,479
available and right I wanted to go to the Play Store let's get Twitch in there

84
00:05:55,740 --> 00:06:03,120
weren't the devil do you get more apps apps hello get more apps sick you've

85
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:07,979
probably noticed that we're not even trying to project on this whole like

86
00:06:05,699 --> 00:06:13,380
what is this 100 inches or 120 inch screen that's because that would be kind

87
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:16,680
of ridiculous for a 300 Lumen projector but this is more realistic this is

88
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:21,240
probably in the neighborhood of around 65 70 inches and exactly the kind of

89
00:06:19,620 --> 00:06:26,520
thing that you could project on the side of your windowless panel van when you're

90
00:06:23,699 --> 00:06:32,400
at a remote campsite overall pretty responsive uh this is cool though it's

91
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:34,139
not just IR once you're paired you don't

92
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:40,139
have to be pointed at it that's very very good let's fire up a demo clip from

93
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:43,800
Dolby oh sure audio pass through why not I'd love to see what it can do in

94
00:06:41,580 --> 00:06:48,960
complete Blackness actually sorry people actually don't close those blinds just

95
00:06:45,780 --> 00:06:51,800
yet this is like very usable it's not

96
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:56,400
cheap it's like 800 bucks but this is very usable and we haven't even tried it

97
00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:59,699
with the speakers yet I would expect haven't actually heard them yet but I

98
00:06:58,259 --> 00:07:03,060
would expect that anchors experience building Bluetooth speakers and other

99
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:07,639
personal audio products would help them out a lot here we might have to pick a

100
00:07:05,100 --> 00:07:07,639
lower bit rate

101
00:07:14,419 --> 00:07:20,840
now you would obviously never sit right next to it you'd sit back here behind

102
00:07:18,419 --> 00:07:25,800
the projector and two anchors credit they actually have the speaker firing

103
00:07:23,819 --> 00:07:31,380
backwards I don't even have this turned up all the way and again if you temper

104
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:34,639
your expectations you know if you don't

105
00:07:31,380 --> 00:07:39,360
expect it to compete with a

106
00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:42,479
7.4.2 atmos setup this is very usable it

107
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:45,599
is amazing what laser does for the

108
00:07:42,479 --> 00:07:48,419
perceived contrast of a projector if you

109
00:07:45,599 --> 00:07:51,960
gave me 300 lumens of LCD projector it would not look like this to my eye it's

110
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:55,259
fairly obvious that anchors got the greens pumped up a little bit too high

111
00:07:53,460 --> 00:07:58,740
but again this isn't the kind of product that I'm expecting Perfect Color

112
00:07:57,060 --> 00:08:03,660
accuracy out of or anything like that what I really want to see is if we could

113
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:07,020
go bigger on the screen if we made it darker in here do you want to go ahead

114
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:10,380
and and kill all the ambient light and let's see if we can fill the screen I'm

115
00:08:08,699 --> 00:08:16,440
not going to knock this thing over all right

116
00:08:12,180 --> 00:08:19,259
sorry oh whoops whoops whoops whoops oh

117
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:25,620
I ruined it I ruined all the things okay it's definitely dimmer but is there any

118
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:29,220
doubt that it's usable it does appear to

119
00:08:25,620 --> 00:08:31,500
be playing back in HDR yeah 80 megabit

120
00:08:29,220 --> 00:08:36,659
per second ain't happening not over this Wi-Fi connection so it does support HDR

121
00:08:34,260 --> 00:08:40,560
but smartly they're not putting a ton of emphasis on it in the marketing that is

122
00:08:38,279 --> 00:08:45,899
good that's very responsible anchor all right nebula by anchor excuse me man if

123
00:08:43,860 --> 00:08:53,220
we were actually in a pitch black environment because we still aren't

124
00:08:49,459 --> 00:08:55,560
it's like not bad no rainbow effect

125
00:08:53,220 --> 00:09:01,680
because there's no DLP like look at that yeah it's not it's not bright obviously

126
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:07,080
they're definitely processing a little bit to get the contrast as high as it is

127
00:09:03,779 --> 00:09:11,040
but it's not totally distastefully done

128
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:13,440
huh okay I don't know what else there is

129
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:16,680
to say other than this thing's kind of sick remember it's battery powered too

130
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:21,600
we didn't really talk about that that much but we are absolutely still in

131
00:09:19,500 --> 00:09:25,980
movie watching mode here and we're completely untethered

132
00:09:23,820 --> 00:09:29,000
movie ceiling movie lioness

133
00:09:29,580 --> 00:09:35,640
and you can get this movie t-shirt lttstore.com

134
00:09:33,540 --> 00:09:40,080
best looking movie t-shirt I've ever seen nice

135
00:09:37,980 --> 00:09:43,740
again it's not for everyone but if you're the customer you know who you are

136
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:48,260
