would this work for having an outdoor movie night for kids?

I would say yes, if there wasn't a lot of ambient light and your were projecting too far. We have used ours for outdoor viewing and it worked well. (approx. 10ft throw, 70 inch diag)

Yes as long as it is away from any direct light shining at the project or any light above the path of the projected image. Works well in the dark.

It would not be something i would buy for that outdoor event,i would be concerned about the sharpness and the brightness.. Cory Mac

Yes! I just used mine last night to stream the new Hobbit movie to the TV for family movie time! Works awesome!

I don't know because we used it for movies and video games, but I would think it would work.

Not in my opinion. It appears to be suitable for indoor use only. I would not use it in an outside enviorment. I would suggest nylon screen for your idea.

I would not use it for commercial purposes, It is fine for a family event. It is good for little ones but would not hold up under the larger kids in a commercial setting.

It should work as well for camping as for anything else, which is to say okay, if you're not too demanding. For $35 you are not getting the same projector that you'd use for a home theater or in a conference room -- it's not very bright, not very high resolution. And I don't know how long the batteries last; I've only run mine off AC power. But in a very dark environment, projecting on a white surface at not too big a distance, it *is* watchable. Bear in mind that it has only an RCA composite video input; most laptops will need an adapter to drive this.

i bought a mini amp Lepai LP-2020A+ Tripath TA2020 Class-T Hi-Fi Audio Amplifier with Power Supply and some copper wire. This amp has a couple input types and can hook up from a computer or DVD player or probably whatever you want to use outside. Also the amp doesnt get too hot so if you want to put it in a waterproof box it should work fine. an outdoor movie theater sounds like a great idea!

It should work well outside with a movie if it's not a quite movie or your not in a loud area, and it's fairly close to you. I actually used mine outside this past weekend (it was music from and iphone), it sounded great. I even used it near a airport and it still sounded pretty good. I've also found the louder the device it's connected to the louder it will be.If you have the option try dual speakers set might be even better (I have yet to try this though but it couldn't hurt)

Yes! Easy to use. We host backyard movie gatherings. This projector set up worked perfectly.

Absolutely! I used this last summer for outdoor movies during the evening projecting on just the light color siding of the house. The picture was great over 12' maybe 15 feet. This year I purchased a 12' screen but set it up once. I was able to make the image small or beyond the 12' for a good video. I now use this daily in my master bedroom projector which is about 70". Even during the day indoors it is still good.

This little mic works for lectures or speakers in classroom size rooms but i doubt it'd work outside as well. you might want to find a directional shotgun mic with its own power source if one exists

I have no regrets! For movies in the backyard where there are sometimes 20 people or more, this screen is FANTASTIC!

Yes. I used it outdoors on a 16 foot wide x 8 foot high screen and it looked awesome. Actually... Better picture quality than at a drive in.

I wouldn't recommend it for movies. The picture quality is low. The projector isn't 400 lumens. I think it was 40 lumens.

Absolutely YES. We used it for an outdoor kids birthday. The tank lasted is nearly 5 hours.

It might. But your best bet would be a retractable pull down screen for outdoor.

Hi...I actually use it outdoors, hanging from my awning...about 6 ft. off the ground. You should just use longer hooks that keep it away from the mirror. Remember that this screen is quite supple and will easily roll over the mirror but a bump in your movie might be there.
