I’ve tried several Nebula projectors and some are definitely better than others. I like the new Capsule airwhat is for sale $280but it’s not the brightest projector (150 ANSI Lumens) and offers a resolution of 720p, not 1080p. Still, it’s lightweight (1.43 pounds), very compact, has Google TV, and a built-in speaker that plays quite loudly. All of that makes it easy to take with you and project anywhere (with a more entry-level projector like the Capsule Air, it’s best not to project too large an image – I usually stick to 50-60 inches).
Anker also sells accessories for the Capsule Air, such as a snap-on base and a gimbal accessory that give you more projection flexibility (the gimbal makes it easy to project onto a ceiling). Battery life is up to two hours and you can connect a power bank to the USB-C charging port to extend battery life.

Nearly all of Anker’s projectors are available for purchase, including our Editors’ Choice for the best portable projector, the Nebula Mars 3 Air. It is currently discounted by 30%, which brings the price down down to just $420giving you a savings of $180. Here’s the full list.
Plus, Anker is offering discounts of up to 52% on refurbished projectors, so if you’re hoping to spend a little less, consider something like the refurbished Anker Nebula Capsule, which is currently on sale $150a savings of $90. Keep in mind that it is only rated at 100 ANSI lumens of brightness (as I mentioned, the new Capsule Air is rated at 150 ANSI lumens). When it comes to projectors, brighter is better.
Anker’s Nebula line consists of different models in different price ranges.
