I am considering the Nebula Capsule Projector and a screen in my Sprinter 144. Has anyone done this? Is the picture good?? I am skeptical of a projector, but I dont really have a good spot for a TV.

Which model of Nebula Capsule? There are multiple. Note that with any projector, to have decent contrast it has to be dark. Is that your planned usage?

Better photos:IMG_2252.jpgIMG_2253.jpgPull the pin on the other side and the T.V. will pivot to face the front of the vehicle.

But the image is upside down . . .

However, Windows Settings Display allows you to turn the image right side up.

So all good.

I will eventually clean up my welds and strip the brackets and have them chromed.

Anybody else try the Nebula 3 LASER(beams)?? Or does anyone have a first hand experience with a 300 ANSI outdoors. I think I want to pick one up, kind of as a fun thing for away and home, nothing serious.

When were at motorcycles events. Setting the Nebula Laser 3 up after the ride which is usually until 4pm-ish. Setting the projector up up around camp and streaming some motorcycle races, documentaries etc. The ability to bring into the van or use it at home maybe in front of the hot tub seems fun. I def understand these aren't' meant for daytime direct sunlight. I'm thinking 5-6pm sun setting into the night. Curious anyone using it outdoors as these hours? Worth it.

EDIT: I'm just delving into the world of projectors. The Nebula seems to be an all-round favorite. There are 2 Nebula 3s one is DLP 200 ANSI the other is LASER 300 ANSI

I bought the Nebula and the Xgimi to do a bake-off and decided to stick with the Xgimi Halo because it was brighter.

You had the Nebula 3 LASER or the DLP version?

Hmm, It looks like the Xgimi rating is 700 Lumens couple more bucks new but def brighter look like I can find them around $450-500 used. I like the form factor on it.

The other thing I did like about the Nebula though was mounting it upside down in the van from the L-Track

We have G3 Starlink with a Trio mount and a Trio 12V conversion - had the G2 Starlink previously - both have been great.

What are you using for a screen here? Thanks!
I got this one on Amazon;

Cocar 50" Portable Movie Screen 16:9 for Mini/Professional LED/LCD/DLP Projector Self Standing Installation Free Pull-Out Style Indoor Outdoor Home Cinema 3D 4K HD Movie ¡ https://a.co/d/dOXYw5S

One of the things I liked about it is how small it is when closed - I put it between the mattress and the wall when we’re not using it.
