Anker Nebula Capsule 2

Overview

The Anker Nebula Capsule II is a great little package if you’re looking for a projector on the go. You’ll still need to draw the curtains closed, but once you do the projector sets up quickly and displays a good picture if you don’t go too big. Plus it fits easily in a backpack or shoulder bag and runs for long enough on its battery to show a full movie. If you need something with more light output, the Anker Mars II can do it for $50 less, but the increase in size cuts down on its portable viability.
