00:00:00.020 --> 00:00:07.919
obviously no sponsor is going to expect you to open up a video with this product

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

00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:17.400
nebula capsule 3 laser from anchor who

00:00:13.259 --> 00:00:20.160
sponsored this video is super cool this

00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:25.560
is a battery powered projector and not just any projector a battery-powered

00:00:22.380 --> 00:00:27.660
laser projector that'll get you 300 nits

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

00:00:30.180 --> 00:00:37.800
handheld form factor that is literally the size of some Bluetooth speakers that

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

00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:44.700
this point or you just want to quickly and easily set something up whether it's

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

00:00:48.539 --> 00:00:55.680
terms of accessories it comes with a power adapter and a USBC power cable and

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

00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:05.159
the I icons on the box or anything to go by

00:01:02.660 --> 00:01:09.960
it has support for Chromecast Dolby audio and perhaps most importantly

00:01:07.380 --> 00:01:13.860
Google Play Store now that might not seem like that big of a deal having

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

00:01:16.380 --> 00:01:22.439
issues time and time again with these kinds of battery powered projectors

00:01:20.100 --> 00:01:26.220
where they do not have proper Play Store access which means that getting apps

00:01:24.180 --> 00:01:30.720
like Netflix that you might want on a projector can require tedious

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

00:01:33.060 --> 00:01:39.920
into anything like that because that would be really awkward since again this

00:01:36.600 --> 00:01:42.060
is a sponsored video

00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:47.220
I'm trying to try to get the battery compartment open uh two aaa's

00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:51.899
should get us going here we've got power microphone Google Assistant button

00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:55.740
navigation buttons home back and settings as well as what appears to be

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

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

00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:11.700
power and auxiliary input three and a half mil HDMI input and type c for power

00:02:09.420 --> 00:02:15.000
this is fun got a threaded insert that appears to be quarter inch on the bottom

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

00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:21.080
just plunk it on the table like that and you're pretty much ready

00:02:20.099 --> 00:02:28.080
to go oh this is cool I forgot about this the

00:02:25.500 --> 00:02:32.580
camera doesn't just do auto Keystone it does auto focus as well so it'll

00:02:30.660 --> 00:02:36.780
actually use Machine Vision to say okay yeah your image is in Focus or it's

00:02:34.260 --> 00:02:40.860
blurry and fix it for you kind of wild how small this thing is one

00:02:38.940 --> 00:02:45.000
of these and two of their flare Tower Bluetooth speakers would actually be

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

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

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

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

00:02:59.580 --> 00:03:05.819
this power are these capacitive there's definitely back and navigation hello

00:03:03.660 --> 00:03:09.720
power's on the back you oh wait oh

00:03:07.500 --> 00:03:13.879
oh well it's almost certainly on now because these seem to be lit oh yep

00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:19.560
hi uh do never look directly into a

00:03:17.940 --> 00:03:24.060
laser projector fortunately this one isn't like really bright because it's

00:03:21.720 --> 00:03:29.720
meant to be battery powered so I'm not blind this is actually very cool watch

00:03:26.519 --> 00:03:29.720
this blurry

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:36.860
boom focused now something I want to know is if I put it somewhere uneven is

00:03:34.379 --> 00:03:36.860
it just gonna

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

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

00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:50.280
mean honestly you never want Keystone if you can avoid it anyway but I just

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

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

00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:02.400
did it but let's get the test pattern up a little more permanently before we

00:04:00.480 --> 00:04:07.260
really evaluate it quickly set up with your Android phone oh cool okay sure

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

00:04:08.940 --> 00:04:14.099
clear any Android TV will do this same

00:04:12.420 --> 00:04:18.540
thing it's just nice when it actually works

00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:22.500
oh cool there's a dedicated button for autofocus and Q oh right right that was

00:04:20.940 --> 00:04:26.520
right that button I glossed over earlier above the Google Assistant button we've

00:04:24.660 --> 00:04:31.560
got power microphone Google Assistant button you can use it as a Bluetooth

00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:36.300
speaker all right wow it's got four stars in the Play Store any companion

00:04:33.840 --> 00:04:40.680
app for a piece of Hardware that's like to configure it almost invariably has

00:04:38.940 --> 00:04:46.139
like two stars what are even happening right now

00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:51.720
oh I have a mouse

00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:54.300
that is actually kind of cool the number

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

00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:03.900
oh no that was volume

00:05:00.259 --> 00:05:05.400
that it okay I opened the settings a

00:05:03.900 --> 00:05:08.639
little laggy a little laggy on the volume control no no no no we've

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

00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:16.320
point over there we've got ambient light coming into the office but we want to

00:05:14.699 --> 00:05:20.040
give it a reasonable chance right because it's laser even though the

00:05:17.820 --> 00:05:24.180
brightness isn't really high because the darks are so dark you actually end up

00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:27.900
with a reasonably vibrant image even with a little bit of ambient light

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

00:05:33.300 --> 00:05:40.620
did not even know that the Android TV YouTube app had audio previews that's

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

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

00:05:48.180 --> 00:05:53.820
okay of which four is taken up I'm assuming because it says there's 12

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

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

00:06:01.320 --> 00:06:07.979
probably noticed that we're not even trying to project on this whole like

00:06:05.699 --> 00:06:13.380
what is this 100 inches or 120 inch screen that's because that would be kind

00:06:10.500 --> 00:06:16.680
of ridiculous for a 300 Lumen projector but this is more realistic this is

00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:21.240
probably in the neighborhood of around 65 70 inches and exactly the kind of

00:06:19.620 --> 00:06:26.520
thing that you could project on the side of your windowless panel van when you're

00:06:23.699 --> 00:06:32.400
at a remote campsite overall pretty responsive uh this is cool though it's

00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:34.139
not just IR once you're paired you don't

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

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

00:06:41.580 --> 00:06:48.960
complete Blackness actually sorry people actually don't close those blinds just

00:06:45.780 --> 00:06:51.800
yet this is like very usable it's not

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

00:06:54.840 --> 00:06:59.699
with the speakers yet I would expect haven't actually heard them yet but I

00:06:58.259 --> 00:07:03.060
would expect that anchors experience building Bluetooth speakers and other

00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:07.639
personal audio products would help them out a lot here we might have to pick a

00:07:05.100 --> 00:07:07.639
lower bit rate

00:07:14.419 --> 00:07:20.840
now you would obviously never sit right next to it you'd sit back here behind

00:07:18.419 --> 00:07:25.800
the projector and two anchors credit they actually have the speaker firing

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

00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:34.639
your expectations you know if you don't

00:07:31.380 --> 00:07:39.360
expect it to compete with a

00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:42.479
7.4.2 atmos setup this is very usable it

00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:45.599
is amazing what laser does for the

00:07:42.479 --> 00:07:48.419
perceived contrast of a projector if you

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

00:07:50.280 --> 00:07:55.259
fairly obvious that anchors got the greens pumped up a little bit too high

00:07:53.460 --> 00:07:58.740
but again this isn't the kind of product that I'm expecting Perfect Color

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

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

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

00:08:08.699 --> 00:08:16.440
not going to knock this thing over all right

00:08:12.180 --> 00:08:19.259
sorry oh whoops whoops whoops whoops oh

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

00:08:22.080 --> 00:08:29.220
doubt that it's usable it does appear to

00:08:25.620 --> 00:08:31.500
be playing back in HDR yeah 80 megabit

00:08:29.220 --> 00:08:36.659
per second ain't happening not over this Wi-Fi connection so it does support HDR

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

00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:45.899
good that's very responsible anchor all right nebula by anchor excuse me man if

00:08:43.860 --> 00:08:53.220
we were actually in a pitch black environment because we still aren't

00:08:49.459 --> 00:08:55.560
it's like not bad no rainbow effect

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

00:08:59.040 --> 00:09:07.080
they're definitely processing a little bit to get the contrast as high as it is

00:09:03.779 --> 00:09:11.040
but it's not totally distastefully done

00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:13.440
huh okay I don't know what else there is

00:09:11.040 --> 00:09:16.680
to say other than this thing's kind of sick remember it's battery powered too

00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:21.600
we didn't really talk about that that much but we are absolutely still in

00:09:19.500 --> 00:09:25.980
movie watching mode here and we're completely untethered

00:09:23.820 --> 00:09:29.000
movie ceiling movie lioness

00:09:29.580 --> 00:09:35.640
and you can get this movie t-shirt lttstore.com

00:09:33.540 --> 00:09:40.080
best looking movie t-shirt I've ever seen nice

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
