Hi, as promised, every two weeks I will tell you about one of the Moto Mods, today we will talk about a portable projector. How convenient is it and where can you use it?
Specifications
Before moving on to the use cases, let's once again recall the specs of the projector module. Its dimensions are 153 x 74 x 11 mm, weight – 125 grams, built-in battery capacity – 1000 mAh. When running on the built-in battery, you can watch videos for an hour, when paired with a smartphone – up to four hours. The projector module is charged from the Type C port. Broadcasting is possible up to a maximum diagonal of 70 inches, resolution – 480p.
Connection and management
As with other modules, to connect a projector, just touch it to the back of your smartphone. The settings menu will immediately open, offering to familiarize yourself with the principle of the projector.
Next to the lens you can see the image sharpness adjustment wheel, as well as the power button. A short press of this button calls up the projector settings. In them, you can adjust the display of the picture (if it looks crooked) and adjust the brightness of the projection.
Where can the projector be used?
Personally, I see several scenarios for using the projector module, I will list them below.
- At home. My friend, the owner of this module, regularly broadcasts cartoons to his daughter on the walls or ceiling, says that it is very convenient, and most importantly, mobile. Here you are with a child in the kitchen – he is watching cartoons in the kitchen, came into the room – we turn on the projector in the room.
- At work. I think the projector module is a great fallback for regular presentations. In general, it can be used as the main option for broadcasting, especially if you have simple presentations with large print.
- On trips. There is nothing better than after a long walk to lie down on a large bed in a hotel and watch from the ceiling the next episode of The Mentalist on a 70-inch diagonal.
- On walks. A very nice romantic use case I think is broadcasting a movie during an evening meeting with friends. Especially in summer.
Additional Information
The projector has a built-in speaker, it is noticeably louder than a smartphone and allows you not to worry about the fact that the voices in the film will not be heard. To adjust the tilt, a special metal leg is used, which is very comfortable.
The projector hums a little during operation due to the built-in cooling system. In complete silence, this sound is noticeable, but when you turn on the movie, it is no longer heard.
Conclusion
The full and correct model name is Insta-Share Projector MOD, it is sold at retail for 23 thousand rubles. I perfectly understand that such an accessory for the price of an average smartphone is quite a niche solution. But if you search for individual portable projectors, you will see that their price is either the same or even higher. The advantage of the module is that it is not a separate gadget, but part of your smartphone, so that you immediately have access to the entire library of your phone and cloud services.
