Good for camping? Would this projector work for that?

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.

My opinion is that this projector is too bright for a personal home theater. I use it in very large conference rooms. For a home theater, I would use something like an Epson 1760W. It has a great picture and won't over power the room.

Yes. I love mine. Very portable, yet has a very clear image. I own a full size projector also, so I spoiled myself and bought this one for trips.

I just recently purchased a 76c, but I have not used it outside yet. That being said, the 76c is 5 times better than my old Proxima projector from 1996 and I used that outside all the time. Used to project it against a white sheet hung on the side of the house. I connected my laptop via s-video. Most dvd players have s-video out as well so you can go that route as well. There is no reason you can't project outside!

BeckBeck, I bought the projector for outside the home use, but still indoors. I use it for video presentations in connection with my religious faith. I am a traveling minister, and I set the projector up in a different auditorium each week. I can plug into the existing sound system with an audio converter, or I can play the projector with sound from the projector only. It has wonderful sound with a long range of projection. So, it's fantastic for what I use it for. I can show video files or a DVD (wish it was a blu-ray player) in full light. But, it's a much better picture with the lights out. It's doesn't have to be pitch black. But, "lights out" helps the picture quality. - I hope these comments help.

It depends on your requirements. It can project to the distance of a mile... but it will be very, very dark. Google "projector calculator", and find the projector you are interested in; you'll get needed info.

This is a great screen. I use it strictly for outdoors due to it capabilities to do rear projection. It also can do front projection. What kind of projector does he have? LCD OR DLP? Lumens dictate the brightness of the projector. The brighter the better i say... but regardless of the projector it is a good screen for indoor and outdoor. I believe this same company makes a square one now that looks really good... lwt mw know if you have any other questions

It probably would, but I'm not sure I'd risk it. I only use these myself for camping to hold about 25-30 pounds worth of stuff off the ground. If I were you, I'd probably get pro-quality carabiners, rated for very high weights, that are used for climbing. They're a lot more expensive, but I figure a 50lb projector is very, very expensive.

Absolutely! It's perfect for camping or entertaining outside at home. I love it!

mine works well, the problem i found it is very noisy, i can hear the fen working so it is better for outside or using good speakers, the resolution is not too good either so if u need very detailed image i think u need domething better, but it is the cheapest so if u want something better u should spend at least 500. when i recently bought it i was unhappy because it is hard to project in canvas the reason it is hard it is because you will have to move the projector to get the desired size. all functions work well but i found that i can use lycra and then i made a lycra screen and then i invert the image in the projector and i like it on this way. i hope it helped you

yes. it will work for you. but please remember this is not a full hd projector; it is not clear enough for small fonts and delicate details.

This projector is not a good quality projector. Perhaps, it's good for its size. But I would only use for temporary solution or for convenience, like when you travel and you don't want to carry a large projector. If you intend to use a projector for watching movies regularly at home, then I suggest you get a higher quality projector.

Yes, you can use it as a projector by hooking it up to a computer. Just note that the brightness (lumens) is not super high, and you have to pull it very far back to get a big picture. But if you are ok with a picture about the size of 60" tv, you can get that from probably 8 feet away in a decently well darkened room. I hope this helps.

I've only used it outdoors & in my tent but it gives out a lot of light so it should be adequate. I usually take it apart & only need one small light for walking around while camping. I love it!

Hello- here's my answer: In a well lit room? NO. In a moderately lit room? maybe. I have this projector and I like it very much but there are some things to keep in mind. 1- The cables that come with it only work with VGA, RCA and 30 pin Ipad jacks (Ipad 2 or older models). If you have a phone or any other device, you will not be able to use the projector. 2. External adapters like RCA to USB, RCA to Micro USB DO NOT WORK with this projector. Otherwise for very portable, easy to use, battery operated projector, this is good

I used mine for camping, but it was never set up in bad weather for extended periods of time so I cannot say for sure.

That's what I bought it for, this is my third projector. A couple things to think about. -Should consider using a sound system the project isn't designed for sound. -I bought screen material and made a frame out of 1x3's. Just switched to Gray screen which helps with ambient light. -Room need to have light controlled somewhat, we have a daylight basement. -Its a projection, so it look more like a movie theater then the hi-gloss HDTV's now out. -Run it in econo mode, I put it in regular mode for 3D and special programs, it really extends the life of the bulb.
