Take time to do the research:
I spent many hours researching mini projectors, had a ton of browser tabs open to compare the multitude of mini/micro projectors that are available and decided to purchase the Lumex BeamPod Mini DLP Pocket Projector. what was I really looking for? I was looking for something ultra-portable that I could use in medium (about 20-25 people) to small (5-10) student groups, something that had versatility and good projection quality, easy to hook up. I teach a variety of topics in several industry venues/types and having such portability is a plus. What I also wanted to do is have flexibility in input sources: Composite, HDMI, USB, VGA with compatibility with AnyCast or Miracast to take the screen from my LG Gpad8.3 tablet and project a PowerPoint presentation from it "wirelessly."
The Lumex BeamPod Mini DLP Pocket Projector does all of this (not simultaneously) and it meets the needs I had outlined for myself.
Projector Output:
The 640X480 resolution looks pretty good projected. The 65 Lumens illumination is better than I expected. I also like that it is LED technology (I am a fan of LED tech). I was worried reading many reviews of other brands that 65 Lumens would not be bright enough. I had a medium lit room (incandescent and LED lights, not fluorescent office lighting), and the projected image was just fine (I was even using a video with a dark background.) Speaking of videos, there was NO (again NO) video lag at all.
Miracast? YES!
I was broadcasting from my tablet into an AnyCast HDMI adapter (which was very easy to set up by the way (I did need to purchase a mini HDMI male to HDMI female adapter cable for this). So far it has met all of my criteria and I will post more as I get more accustomed to it and try out more of the features in detail. All the adapters come with it except the one I needed for the AnyCast module. I was able to broadcast my tablet screens via Miracast to the projector easily. Just followed the AnyCast adapter instructions and the Lumex projector set up smoothly.
A Negative? Hard to say but…
If I would be pushed for a negative aspect it would be battery life. It does not last long; about 60 to 90 minutes and it trickle drains in storage. It can be connected to AC and does really well plugged in. It gets warm but I have not had it on for more than an hour so far (was down to 2 bars), so I could not tell it is gets really hot yet. Will know more of this as I use it more.
General Set Up – A snap!
Setting it up was easy. When I took it out of the Amazon Box, I charged it up. When it was charged (took about an hour), I plugged in a flash drive (I had some videos on this drive), plugged it into the supplied USB adapter cable and in the palm of my hand streamed a video on the wall of my Sons’ bedroom! Only took seconds to hook up. The "touch-screen controls at the top of the unit are easy to use and on-screen prompts are intuitive. The remote works well also, from what I've done so far. I have a lot of plans for this projector and it has worked out to my satisfaction and then some.
Think it through:
If you decide to purchase it, really think through what you want it for. If you are looking for HiDef, highest resolution, something for large venues, bright projection in daylight conditions, then you will want to spend the thousand or so dollars and get the high-end projector. I wanted simple, easy to set up with a little snazz and that is what I now have!
Price – reasonable for the type of device I purchased:
The price? With Amazon Prime shipping I really cannot complain, the price was great for such a device (a Mini DLP projector that fits in your hand...!)
If/when I have time I may post pics and a video on it.
Very cool device, quality and ingenious product!
