Amazing picture and sound for such a small device

5 out of 5 stars

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.

    A profoundly durable projector well-worth the money.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2019

    Style: CapsuleVerified Purchase

    OK. Right off the bat, this is NOT a daytime-use projector. 100 lumens gets you about as much in the day as a flashlight intended for the use of illuminating the sun. It just does not work in the presence of light (maybe a darkened room… with a bit of light…maybe). Just so you know, I take my freedom seriously. I like to have fun in different environments and indoor movies/gaming are traditions I can not abide.

    In a darkened room this beautiful piece of simply phenomenal conception is amazing. I am so fond of it that tears come to my eyes when I think of leaving it behind. It is so small, yet the resolution is fantastic. I get amazing resolution at 200 inches (screen size) and surprising versatility for a projector. Suck it Samsung (your TVs are bulky, expensive and strain my eyes).

    Furthermore, the Nebula Capsule (by Anker) can connect to another device (my Bose SoundLink Revolve speaker, in my case) if you do not like the sound quality (not the same as Bose, but surely impressive with size and all other things considered, right?). Not enough? You can download the iPhone app and use that as a fully functional remote-control for the amazon, Netflix, etc. programs already installed on the projector. You won't know the pleasure and fascination until you have tried it!

    I like to use this with my Nintendo Switch. With it's battery I can play games in parks (at night), on the roof (yes, I did this… at night), or anywhere dark where a wall or screen can be arranged (you may need either a very long extension cable or several of them – length/number depending on the distance to your nearest electric socket). I had to bring six three-foot extension cables (18 feet total) to the park next to my house to get this to work plus one adapter for the strange-looking socket at the bathroom there. The screen auto-adjusts to angled surfaces, so it does not matter if it's directed at, say, a slanted rooftop. It will adjust the screen and you will be watching happily (although earbuds are recommended if you have fussy neighbors, which was the reason I went to the park).

    I saved the best for last: this thing is DURABLE! My dog knocked it down from a stand (about 1 foot high) on top of a table (about 3 feet high) and it hit a ceramic-tiled floor (total of about a 4-foot fall) in an area near the lens. Aside from a minor scratch, my Anker Nebula shook it off (along with my horror at such a drop) and functioned as if to say either "What are you looking at?" or "I think my stand may need a minor adjustment…" or both. It would be inaccurate to describe my reaction at this as mere profound amazement. So you understand what was happening, it was a dark, cold and quiet night; my Dog already spooked the living daylights out of me with his aberrant behavior and I was watching Silent Hill and Toy Story back-to-back. These products are not usually made to survive such falls, so don't be surprised when I say I seriously considered getting an exorcist for this thing. Naturally, my imagining a retort coming from an inanimate object (which was still playing the movie) may be partly responsible for that consideration.

    In short: You won't need all the king's horses and all the king's men to put a Nebula Capsule back together again. By my experience, it probably won't break to begin with. This is just one experience mind you, and should not be taken as law!

    In any case, thank you Anker. I use this to give my family eye-strain-free movie nights. It is easy to use with or without the iPhone app that comes with it, so even my young sisters can use it. The smiles on my sister's faces and fond memories of our family together during these movie nights are possible only thanks to you.

    Style: Capsule 3Verified Purchase

    I am the one that always wants a projector, I searched a lot of brands from amazon and some research from google, I made my final decision to Capsule 3, Nebula. I can not wait to use it once I receive it. Here are a few points that I want to mention.
    This projector has very good clarity even with the lights on.
    We all know the best place to use projector is somewhere does not have much lights on, but I also want to use it at somewhere else, for me, I do not have a TV at my dining room, but my wife and I like to watch shows when we were having dinner, the phone was too small. so I tried to use the projector in my dining room and put the lights on as usual. We were all surprised that the projector was more than we expected.
    This projector is very light, I can carry it everywhere I want, I just feel like I own a carry on TV and watch it.
    The setting was easy and smooth, but you have to download a google home app in order to continue the setting. It takes a little bit of time to set up the system. I do not have to worry about the screen correction. It will automatically correct by itself no matter where I move my projector.
    My favorite thing was it does not need to use any cable to connect from your devices. All you have to do is connect it to the same WiFi as your devices.
    This projector does not make a lot of heat dissipation noise. The quality of the speaker was not bad, of course you can not compare this to other real speakers, it is loud and clear, but won’t have a “buzz” sound.

    It worth it.

    Excellent Product with a few issues

    Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2024

    Style: Capsule 3Verified Purchase

    This product has proven to be excellent.
    What I like
    1. I love the size and weight of this item because it allows for easy transport 2. I love that it has built in speakers so there is no need for headphones. 3. I love the high tech auto focus feature. 4. Google TV format allows for a lot of flexibility with apps not built into the system. 5. 2 hours battery life is exceptional and you can extend that with the charging trip made by Nebula.

    What I dislike!
    1. This Item should ship with a CARRYING CASE.
    2. This Item should ship with some type of small tripod.
    3. It has to be used in nearly 70% (is a approximate guess) darkness to get viewable image. It has very low lumens which is expected for a portable projector but should definitely be noted.

    Overall,
    This is truly a great product to splurge on and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to have a movie experience on any blank wall. I'm sure it can be used in many other scenarios but I can't think of a better way of enjoying a sporting event than sitting in front of a 120" screen.

    I love this projector. I tell people it is my favorite purchase of 2024.

    It’s so portable (i stuff it in my backpack and take it on trips) and such high quality for a little device. Being battery powered is so convenient and being able to power via USB-C is clutch.

    The UI is a tad clunky at times to navigate, but given its running full Android and so good at everything else, i’m giving that a pass. I love that i can install apps like Tailscale (VPN) app or sideload other apps alongside the great selection of streaming apps. This device works great with every streaming app i would use (netflix, max, disney, etc….). I have trouble pairing my Airpods to it, but my other Sony bluetooth headphones work great!

    Pro tip: There’s a phone app that can replace the remote in a pinch (i don’t travel with the remote). It connects via bluetooth automatically after the first pair.

    This was a breeze to set up, worked perfectly atop my camera tripod, and had a battery life as advertised.
