Anker is currently offering significant discounts on its line of portable projectors. Notably, the powerful Mars 3 Air recently hit a record low price, the versatile Nebula Capsule 3 remains at its best price yet, and now the compact Nebula Capsule Air is now available for a fantastic $269.99 (down from $399.99) following a $100 reduction and a 10% discount coupon available on Amazon. According to price-monitoring tools, this represents the best price for this portable device.

True portability for projectors means being able to use them without being tethered to a power source, and the Nebula Capsule Air excels in this regard. Measuring only 5.5 by 2.7 by 2.7 inches—comparable to a standard soda can—it remains easy to transport. While the battery life is not exceptional, offering around two hours of use, this is adequate for viewing a majority of films in one sitting. The downside, however, is the brightness, limited to a mere 150 ANSI lumens, which necessitates a dark environment for optimal viewing. If used outdoors under ambient light, the image may appear washed out. Additionally, the native resolution stands at 720p, but it does support 1080p input with HDR capability.

A recent review from PCMag awarded this projector an “excellent” rating, highlighting the improved shadow details provided by HDR, appreciating the integration of Google TV OS, which facilitates seamless streaming directly from your smartphone, and commending the adjustable twist-on stand for easy image positioning on screens or walls.

The Nebula Capsule Air also features robust keystone correction, which is crucial for portable devices that tend to be frequently repositioned, often resulting in a misaligned image. This model includes top-notch autofocus with automatic vertical and horizontal adjustments, ensuring a consistent and clear display.
