The 5 Best Portable Outdoor Projectors for Your Camping Trip

Since we’re all compelled to do social distancing because of COVID, catching a movie in the theater won’t be possible now and probably in the foreseeable future. This doesn’t mean that you should forgo the cinema experience altogether. In fact, this situation can be a good excuse to get an outdoor projector so you can watch your favorite flicks under the moon and stars. Get the right projector and you may even reconsider your viewing preferences completely.
However, projectors made for indoor use typically won’t work as well under outdoor conditions. This is why outdoor projectors are built to different specs and are usually capable of higher levels of brightness, contrast ratio, resolution. Of course, these are almost always designed to be more portable, sometimes with a built-in battery, with little to no vents where moisture and debris can get sucked in.
If you feel like it’s time to invest in an outdoor projector for your camping trip or even for your backyard, here are 5 great candidates that you should definitely consider.
Anker Nebula Capsule
Easiest to use: This compact, soda can-sized projector is so easy to operate that you can get it up and running in a few minutes right out of the box. It also has a cool 360° speaker that should be handy if you forget to bring bigger speakers on your trip.

AKASO WT 50 Mini Projector
Most Compact: Almost as small as a typical smartphone, it's hard to find a more compact and portable projector than the WT50. It's projection capabilities are no slouch either but it is best used in a tent or similar settings.
