I want to remove my ceiling-mounted TV because I keep bumping my head on it, so I'm looking for something easy to set up and compact. Pairing this with a 40-inch Pile self-standing screen. I compared the Aurzen Boom Air and Nebula Capsule 3. Overall, I like the Nebula Capsule 3 and will keep that. - Picture Sharpness > Nebula - Brightness > tied between the two - Sound > Nebula (Clearer and fuller) - Overall projector noise > Nebula (you can hear the fan in the Aurzen) - Cost > Aurzen Boom Air - Overall value > Nebula If you can get the Nebula on sale, spend the extra 100 dollars for a better overall product. - Smaller footprint and more portable, especially for travel and camping. - Built-in battery makes it super easy to whip out and get your video up and running. no fuss. Review: Great small portable projector - I had this projector since early this year. I've been using it for our vacations overseas, camping, in my garage while I was working on something. Occasionally we would have a movie night in our kids bedrooms. I sometimes use it while I am in my bed... I project it to my ceiling and lay down and watch all night... LOL Okay, if you are to complain that picture quality is poor I would say don't get this. Compared to the size of this projector picture quality is acceptable to my standards and actually it's pretty good. Sound quality is not bad either. I had no problem hearing the sound and if I needed more volume I would use an external speaker but with it's 360 degree speaker it was good enough most occasions. I stream Netflix, desertcart Prime Video through it's apps or use screen mirror on my iphone. I also stream movies using my DNLA capable NAS in my home network using VLC Player app. I know you can use Chromecast to stream but I don't bother since with the Netflix, desertcart Prime app and streaming from my home DNLA server is enough to watch at home. I had my son connect to xbox one through HDMI in our ski trip that we went with the friends and families and the kids had so much fun and they loved it! Capsule is now our must take item for any trips we make. When WiFi is not available I use the hot spot on my phone to stream Netflix or desertcart Prime or just use screen mirroring or have some movies copied into USB drive and watch it that way. There are many useful features you can use to enjoy your Capsule in many ways in difference occasions. Like I keep saying, this small projector has everything that it can offer to be portable and to my opinion that's the best part of owning this unit. Only downside you may find is "IF" you are looking for HD quality video. It's 480P and as your screen size gets bigger it will be blurry. For me up to about 60" screen size was pretty acceptable to enjoy. Also, do not expect to use this on a daylight. Most projectors are not good when you use it in daylight unless you pay a lot for a high-end unit. This projector works best when the room is dark. I find that having window shades down will help during the day time but when it's very bright day it won't work. I am a gadget geek and I just ordered Mars 2. I am curious to see if 300 lumens vs 100 lumens makes a lot of difference and also the 720p resolution which Mars 2 supports. I am sure there will be some noticeable differences but I am sure Mars 2 won't beat the mobility of Capsule. One of the things that you should consider is that Capsule can be charged with an external battery pack with the micro USB port in the back. So if you are outdoors and have no access to wall outlet then you can connect the power bank and keep watching with extended playtime. For Mars 2 you can't really do that because it requires higher power input than what normal external power banks offer and you can only charge through DC input using the proprietary power adapter. I ordered a laptop charger with enough output and I will be testing it with the new Mars 2 but it's pretty big and it will be cumbersome to carry Mars 2 and the big power bank. I know for sure that I will miss my Capsule's mobility. Bottom line - I like the Capsule very much so far and if Capsule 2 was on the market now I would certainly have upgraded to that but won't be available until mid next year and I'd love to get my hands on Capsule 2 if my budget will allow that when time comes. ## Features - Laser Engine to Illuminate Your World: Experience vibrant visuals with this laser projector, featuring a laser light source delivering 300 ANSI Lumens of brightness in 1080p HD, ensuring your images stay bright and clear. - Travel Light, Project Big: At just 2 lb (900 g) and 90% smaller than others with similar brightness, NEBULA Capsule 3 Laser projects up to a 120-inch screen and easily slips into your bag for presentations or movie nights anywhere. - Marathon Viewing Sessions: Watch a full 2.5-hour movie or listen to 8 hours of music on a single charge with Capsule 3 Laser, making it perfect for extended viewing.

Netflix is so much better off that. It also supports Infuse which is superior everything I found on the PlayStore when it comes to streaming NAS content. Kodi is nice, and the closest match to it for Android TV. Projector is extremely quiet. **Q: I own the capsule 1. Is the capsule 3 substantially brighter in comparison? I feel my original version is getting dimmer. Could be my old eyes.** A: Capsule 1 is 100 ANSI lumens. Capsule 2 is 200 ANSI lumens. Capsule 3 is 300. I own versions 2 and 3 and 3 is noticably brighter than 2. AND higher Rez! **Q: Does it support 3D movies & (active glasses) protection?** A: No, only the Nebula Solar, Nebula Solar Portable, Nebula Vega Portable and Nebula Cosmos support this. **Q: Can i ceiling mount this projector?** A: You could mount it upside down, using the threaded tripod mount on the bottom. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Overall Project; Super Easy Use *by W***R on December 17, 2025* Compared a few portable projectors for use in my van.

As the title states, good so far. Not great/excellent, but not a disappointment yet. To be honest, it has more features than I need at the moment - Verizon sent me a Stream TV unit for free, so everything's already programmed on there. Operation/functions are relatively straight forward. The manual doesn't specify that Keystone Correction is under settings and that auto correction can be turned off. VERY disappointed in the horizontal correction (it couldn't even recognize that it was throwing near a corner of my room). Focus wheel is pretty good, and quality is better than my previous projector which died a sudden bulb death over the weekend (RIP my little 100-Lumens pico buddy). Sound is also decent, but yes, I do hear the running hum from 8 feet away, with the sound up kind of high. Handy that there's a remote, means I don't have to get off my butt to turn it on or off every day! Batteries were a pain (putting it super nicely, rated G) to get into the back though; the latch wouldn't release at all. Had to use something to compress it. Guess it means they won't pop out if you drop the remote??? Packaging was sleek, efficient, and nice/modern. Always a good sign. Minimal waste. Very eco friendly (that's a big thing for me, might be for you too, just an fyi)FYI. I think the biggest CON so far for me is that the charging cord is so short (leaving the D out, rated G still). It's gotta be no more than 2.5 feet? Maybe 2. It's not that I don't want to use it's wireless function, but why use it if it's not necessary. It's got a modern battery like cell phones and laptops; charge and drain too often repeatedly, it's useless; leave it charged too often, also not that great. But I can't run it while charging since the cord is too short. That's it so far, I will update as I see fit. And/or if and when this dies on me. My pico buddy lasted me 5+/- years of almost constant/daily use, so it's got a lot to live up to. But I like Anker products, and own a lot of them, so I have faith. **UPDATE - JULY 2, 2025** OK, I've had this bad boy for roughly 2 years, and I just saw an 'online article' about ridiculous 100 inch screen TV sold at Walmart for 1.5k. Now, I'm not going to tell you how to spend your money, but I'd like to point out (or repeat) that this beauty IS THE SIZE OF A SODA CAN and fits in my purse. Including all of the accessories. I did eventually end up adjusting my set up and the view is a lot easier. There is not more cord fatigue or indecision. Just dusting. But back to the point of the update, the article was depressing - can you put a 100 inch TV in your purse? No. And, this review, I realize I did not clarify before, but it was originally throwing about 120 inch 'screen' from 14 feet. That's movie theater style. My new set up is about 60 inches, but I don't regret it. I'd sacrifice a little bit of clarity for a portable and bigger setup. I don't regret this buy or my previous projector at all. They were the best purchases. (My family tries to borrow it all of the time for holiday stuff. My younger brother bought the newer version. My older brother had to leave his TV behind because the mover guys were going to charge him an extra $500 across state lines. Let that sink in.) ## Frequently Bought Together - NEBULA Capsule 3 Laser Projector, Upgraded with Google TV and Official Netflix, Mini Smart TV Projector with Wi-Fi, Outdoor Portable Projector, Dolby Digital, 120-Inch Screen, 2.5H Built-In Battery - NEBULA Capsule Gimbal Stand, 0-360 Degree Vertical and Horizontal Adjustable Viewing Angle, 3s Easy Setup, for Capsule 3, Capsule 3 Laser, Capsule Air - Nebula NEBULA Capsule 3 Official All-in-One Travel Case, Customized for Capsule 3 Laser, Adapter, Remote Control, Cables and Stand, Waterproof and Protective Polyester --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/489447560-nebula-capsule-3-laser-outdoor-portable-mini-smart-tv-projector](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/489447560-nebula-capsule-3-laser-outdoor-portable-mini-smart-tv-projector) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-08*
