Chris here with a portable projector that has really blown me away in terms of its image quality
and really what it offers it is the nebula capsule 3 laser now it's using laser tech instead of Led
Tech and at the same wattage as say LEDs it will be 1.8 times brighter so the maximum brightness is
300 ISO lumens it runs Android TV 11 a run time of up to two and a half hours we have type c charging
data as well with the correct adapter you can run external pen drives and auxiliary 3.5 millimeter
on it and HDMI 2.1 so you can connect up consoles on this and it's got this tiny portable size you
can pretty much take it with you anywhere run this outside in the garden that's the whole
point being a portable projector now with this model here it's also got a built-in speaker it's
8 watts Dolby Digital plus and for the size of it quite impressive you can even run this model
as a standalone speaker so we'll do a bit of a comparison to the capsule Max model here and we'll
see the differences between them with the capsule 3 laser in the box of the capsule 3 laser you'll
find a 45 watt power supply now it comes with the EU plug on it but there is an adapter for the UK
plug a type c to type c cable then we have our remote our quick start guide and two AAA batteries
so I love this compact small size of it I mean look how small it is and later when you see the
kind of image quality that comes out of such a small projector it's pretty amazing to me so
down here we do have a camera that is used in conjunction with the autofocus so it will read
the readout on the screen and then Focus itself which is very handy now it does have Keystone
correction and of course this is a laser projector so it's not a LED one that you typically see with
portable projectors so it has a brightness up to 300 ISO Lumen so it's very bright and we have 8
watt speakers built in within it and I'll give you a sample of them later on in this video of
them so up here at the top we do have two fans so there's a larger fan at the top and then one
down the bottom of course that laser does need to be cooled and you will hear it a little bit
if you're right next to it but normally with the speakers on you don't actually
hear anything so we've got type c here type c Port that if you're using adapter will support
external file file storage we've got HDMI 2.1 so yes you can input 4K into this so it could
be 4K 60 but then it will project at 1080p 60 and auxiliary out right here our power on
button with the status LED we've got infrared there for the remote and this here is a pairing
button for Bluetooth which it does also support so you can just use it as a standalone Bluetooth
speaker which is Handy down the bottom we've got a rubber nice rubber foot on the bottom of it so it
sits nice and sturdy and then we have a standard mounting Port point there so you can easily place
this on a tripod or have it mounted on the ceiling if you wanted to do that you've got that option
which is again good to have the options there now that up the top here we do have some touch
controls so they're a little hard to see because it's not powered on at the moment but when I do
power it on you'll see that they light up okay and we've got the volume up and down and all the
controls right there would be okay so you can use this or the remote and even the application too
compared to the capsule Max which is here on the right of the screen you can see it's quite a bit
smaller this one is more portable similar design to them the capsule 3 laser of course being laser
1080P and this is LED and it is 720p with 200 ISO lumens versus 300 so it's sharper better
resolution and brighter with the capsule 3 laser and you'll see at the back they have the similar
set up there too with the inputs and you've got the type C port and you have USB with the
capsule Max for this video with the nebula capsule 3 laser I'm using it on a dedicated
projector stand here now you can use the capsule 3 laser anywhere on a table just point it at a wall
and you don't have to use one of these stands but I'm just using it for this video because I
can actually angle it up here 45 degrees which makes life a little bit easier so the capsule
3 laser has an auto focus with it you've got Keystone correction too so to autofocus very
simple just press the button on the remote you will see it then auto focus itself using that
little camera down below and then you can adjust the Keystone here so the Keystone is just each
of the four corners so you can adjust that so it does then look correctly and it just tells you to
adjust it so that Circle in the Middle where it does say nebula looks pretty much perfect
the capsule 3 laser is running Android TV 11 which is the latest version security patch level is this
month November there was a firmware update so when you set it up it's very easy you can in fact use
your phone to log into all of your accounts you don't need to go through all that tiresome process
makes it a lot quicker Google Assistant support with it and you can also just hit the microphone
button and speak out your commands or search and you'll see that these menus are very easy
to navigate everything right here the content now I know this only has two gigabytes of RAM and just
16 gigabytes of storage but for Android TV it's actually sufficient a quad core processor that it
has runs everything fine it is quick and snappy so you can see I've got Amazon Prime video right here
and it will show a lot of that and the tab there the content of it you've got Google Play Store of
course YouTube unfortunately at the time of me recording this video here we don't have Netflix
support So if you want Netflix you are going to need to use an external device plug it into that h
HDMI port there so your apps they're all loaded in here as you can see and I just wanted to point
out that I have run this which is DRM info it does have a wide Vine security level one
cert so Amazon Prime video is in full HD Disney plus is also full HD so that is great there and
you can install various different applications for example MX Player if you wanted to play some media
files from external storage from that type to USB port you can do so with that application and onto
Amazon Prime video so we'll just take a quick look at this as you can see the menu system here loads
in very quick and I do like the performance I'm seeing here so it is quick it's Snappy I can see
when I scroll through this none of the thumbnails there are missing so that's great it's not having
any problems with them sometimes loading in slow which I've seen on some other projectors and even
some Android TV boxes but no that performance from the quad core does seem to be very good here now
it's got a maximum speed of 1.5 gigahertz and combined with that two gigabytes of RAM so quick
test here just to load an episode of the expanse we'll see how long it takes now I'm not going to
edit this at all so if it is slow it's exactly what you're going to see so I'll hit resume
and that is caching in so normally a few seconds to start caching
and there we go we are up and running here and that is in full HD I can see straight away so it
didn't start off in standard definition so good quality the blacks look very good on something
like the expanse which is quite a dark Sci-Fi TV series there it does look good what I like
about it is you don't see any noise or grain in the Deep blacks here blacks actually look
reasonably good here for a laser projector and a portable one at that I mean this image
quality is excellent but I'll get on to now a few more examples and over to YouTube now
so this is a demo of 4K footage which of course is scaled down to 1080P and it looks really good
this is amazing for a portable projector I am really impressed with this image quality I've
got to say that it's probably one of the best when the other ones are normally LED they're
normally Lids they're not using laser so that quality looks amazing here what I'll do is just
skip ahead a little bit get on to a different scene this is of course bright colors right now
and that performance is excellent cases in very quick and quite detailed now if you look really
close at it yes you can make out like the pixels the edges but at normal viewing distances where
my camera is and where I'm looking from here this looks quite detailed and sharp
for 1080p very good and I'm projecting by the way at approximately 80 or so inches
where I am recording right now is in complete darkness so what would happen if you had a bit
of ambient light that was coming through so I'm going to turn on now one of my studio lights which
is quite bright this is 100 watts and you see that I'm not aiming it directly at the screen this is
still viewable which is great and it doesn't actually look too bad I could happily sit here
and watch this but of course in complete darkness you're going to get the best absolute quality so
the colors are looking very vibrant here they're rich I love the detail and as I mentioned with
the blacks we're not seeing their awful grain and noise that I have seen with some projectors
so just turning that light off again that is our best image quality turn that ambient light back on
not looking quite as good and if I move the light around to shine on the screen now this is very
bright mind you you can see yes of course it is going to affect it a little bit but again this
is faring really well for 300 ISO lumens I've now connected up my PlayStation 5 to it so I wanted
to test out could it be used also as a gaming projector now it automatically swapped over to
it as soon as I had it plugged in and powered on the PlayStation 5 here and it did end up going and
selecting automatically HDR so you can see I can adjust it right now here to make it uh brighter
or darker this is through the PlayStation 5 of course but it is now running HDR 10 here which was
automatically selected and so far it doesn't look too bad at all but I'll jump into a game which is
dirt 5 and I'll see if it's going to be playable reasonable with our response times and input lag
the input lag is perfectly acceptable for some casual gaming just like this with dirt 5 so I'm
having really no issues with it and it looks great brightness super bright actually this
seems to be way way over what I was expecting for a portable projector this kind of brightness but
mind you I do have it plugged in so it's in the full 100 brightness mode so that is of course the
300 ISO lumens here and looking really good so it can be used as a gaming projector on the go
if you bring along any console anything you can plug into it with the HDMI port
what about our fan noise all laser projectors all projectors do have fan active cooling so
inside here at the top there's a little fan and there seems to be one down the bottom too
as well now it's been working hard for about almost two hours so give you a sample of what
you can expect from the fan noise here but just to comment that it's very low and when you're
using the speakers you won't even hear this fan it is a little warm to the touch that's about it
and of course the 8 watt Dolby Digital plus speaker that's built within it here
is a sample of it it's loud it's got a little bit of bass and for the size of
this portable projector I don't think it's bad at all the built-in speaker
and now I've got both the capsule 3 laser and the capsule Max set up here for a bit of a mini
comparison obviously when you look at the images now side by side there is a big difference so
it's not just the brightness I'm seeing a lot more detail with my hand when looking at one
of my videos here on the Right image which of course is the capsule 3 Max now at this kind
of distance they're only approximately about not even a meter away from this white wall you don't
notice it too much but the more you widen or should I say enlarge the image you will
notice that difference there it really comes into play but of course we've got the good run
time there with the capsule Max which is a lot longer so I hit play on both of them hopefully
at the same time and it's more or less at the same second or that looks like I've got about
a second difference here so just play that for one second and hit play on both of them
very hard to time this but it's just to give us an idea here as you can see with the image quality
it's just that brightness is the big thing so much more brighter with the capsule 3 laser but the
image quality of the max too I think is not bad at all it almost looks too bright with the current
settings with the capsule 3 laser but both of them very good it really depends on the run time
if you want the best run time the USB port that it also has a type A that's what the capsule Max has
and of course because it is a portable projector I tested it outside so I took it out into my garden
in a terraced area that we do have with a nice flat white wall and it was a perfect location to
set up the nebula capsule three laser here and the projected image was approximately around 80
inches and we were all really impressed with the image quality uh my wife was pretty much
blown away with it going wow it's just that little unit giving us that quality and she
made a comparison to say that that's even better than our TV because probably because of the size
of it but the brightness definitely there and it was of course ideal conditions that I was testing
out I was around about 10 p.m at night there was no full moon or anything so it was very dark and
it looked amazing the sound was good everyone was happy we could all hear it I also did test
it out in the top of my stairwell converting my stairwell the back top wall into a movie theater
and that was around about 120 inches and still the image looked good really surprised by the
quality that is coming out of this well I mean the laser quality is definitely helping versus
the lid being brighter but the image Clarity and the blacks doesn't tend to have really any noise
to them at all I took it a step further which was a bit of Madness I know but I projected it
up against my entire side of my house and even then I was really surprised with the brightness
and the image quality I expected it by then at that distance to be a little duller than what it
really is and you can see from my footage which actually isn't capturing it as good as it looked
I was really surprised by how it came out I thought wow I could even project from this
tiny thing right into my whole house and then oh it was about uh 200 inches which is well over the
recommended they say like 40 to 120 inches so overall it is an impressive little projector
for of course the laser prediction quality the brightness image sharpness detail being full
HD versus say 720p now the capsule Max not to say it's a bad unit it's quite good as well I'm happy
with this unit it's got a really good run time and of course a smaller size as you can see right
now much smaller than the capsule 3 laser and we'll go for up to four hours versus the up to
two and a half hours so there's a difference there still has an 8 watt speaker built into it and the
speaker quality yeah very good for the size now when I gamed on it as you saw from the PlayStation
5 footage I didn't have any problems with the input lag at all so when I was turning with dirt 5
with the car it went in time it was fine I didn't notice any massive lag input lags there at all so
you can even do a bit of gaming on this and of course a big positive about this is you can take
it anywhere you can travel with it perfect for camping or anywhere maybe you went into
some sort of hotel or Lodge or something and they didn't have a very big TV you could set this up
against a wall and Away you go as long as you've got White Walls as well would definitely help it's
a great little unit the only thing for me is the Netflix support isn't there at the moment which
is a bit disappointing so for Netflix I have to use an external device I tried to run it from
installing an APK file but it just kept locking up on me so I do hope with a firmware update nebula
can't can give us that Netflix support because it does have the wide Vine level one suit we've
got even a security update and of course running Android TV 11. so thank you so much for watching
my review of the nebula capsule 3 laser and a bit of a comparison to the capsule Max
