NEBULA Anker Mars 3 Air 1080p Mini Projector, Smart 400 ANSI-Lumen Portable Projector with Google TV, Wi-Fi, Dolby Digital, 2×8W, 150-Inch Picture, Built-In Battery with 2.5-Hour Playtime

I've had this projector for close to a year, using it on a daily basis for watching TV shows and movies, in tandem with a folding screen and wireless soundbar. Overall, I've been impressed with the picture quality and ease of use offered by the projector, as well as it's compact and unobtrusive format. The automatic image correction and focus are generally reliable and function very well for a projector at this price. If the projector is positioned at a significant angle, to the side of the screen/projection surface, there is some "softening" of the image in the upper corner farthest away from the lens. However, this isn't really noticeable in normal use, and positioning the projector more centrally avoids the issue altogether. Similarly, projecting from a significant angle often requires use of the manual correction to ensure the image is fully symmetrical. However, after a little bit of use, making these adjustments becomes second nature and takes only a few seconds. The sound quality of the inbuilt speakers is surprisingly good and loud, again given it's diminutive size. However, using a external speaker setup will significantly enhance the movie viewing experience. The Bluetooth connectivity is excellent, and it unfailingly links to my soundbar upon start-up, and there is no noticeable lag or synchronization problem between the image and sound. Similarly, WiFi connectivity is strong and stable (even though my router is on the other side of the house and on a different floor). Media plays without hiccups from USBs or when input from another device that's connected via HDMI. I don't really cast content from my phone, so can't comment on this aspect of the projector's performance. The inbuilt battery is okay - but watching anything of movie length requires the projector to be set in power saving mode, which significantly dims the image, even in a fairly dark room. At full brightness, you can expect to get through an average episode of a TV show (45-60 minutes) but no more. To get best use out of the projector, it needs to be plugged in to mains power, which obviously limits its portability somewhat. In all, I'm very pleased with my purchase and would definitely look to buy a newer model Nebula when I finally want or need an upgrade.

This was a little bit of a stab in the dark as I was looking for a small portable projector for the bedrooms and the mars 3 air had just come out and had no real reviews yet. I was first tempted by the Samsung Freestyle 2, but a lot of reviewers noted that for its price (~£700) it wasn't that good a projector. IIRC it only goes up to 240 lumens. But it had good apps and connectivity, so it was hard to find something with a similar feature set but cheaper. The Mars 3 was generally recommended as an alternative, but that's a similar price point to the Freestyle for a bulkier, brighter protector that's better for outdoor use, which I don't care about that much. That's where the Mars 3 Air came in - at £450 it's much cheaper than the freestyle, almost twice as bright, and has excellent connectivity and app support, with even native Netflix, which the more expensive Mars did not have. Some things to watch out for - first time set up is a bit slow, confusing and clunky. Google Home setup via the app is pretty okay, but it took a *long* time to download and install firmware updates. Once it was up and running, it still behaved weirdly, e.g. I could not access the settings menu, or sign in to YouTube, or download new apps at all at first. The trick seems to have been to reboot it several more times. Once fully set up it all works as expected. The auto keystone features and auto focus in my experience aren't great - they're a good starting point, but at least in my space, I usually do need to go in and manually adjust them. If this is the case for you, I would recommend turning off auto keystone and auto focus on startup and after movement, so you don't have to recalibrate every time you nudge it or turn it off. Overall though I think it's a really good deal for the price - responsive UI, very solid brightness and colours, great sound. Connectivity and apps all work fantastically, and having Netflix natively on the device is great! You can also Chromecast easily from a laptop or phone. Expect a bit of faff during first time setup, but after that it's a really solid device!

This was my second projector I have ever bought, the first being a cheap £60 unknown brand one which was terrible a few years ago. This is 100x better overall, with the key stone correction and image quality. It is only 1080p HD quality, but what great picture overall, and projecting at about 100 inch screen with potential of reaching 150”. Not had a larger wall to try any bigger but I personally think that was more than suitable. I watched a 4K video which downscaled to 1080p, but could barely tell the difference. Fantastic that it has google tv built in, which I never used before, so functional and easy to use. At 400 lumens the brightness is great, the black colours are dark and the bright colours have great contrast. So far a great portable projector that can be transported outside or in. I have watched various things since using, such as; tour de france biking, films, tv shows, and most of the tv apps, as well as trying outside in the evening. They all work great. I should say that I was debating on getting the Nebula Capsule 3 instead of this, but the more research I did the more it led me to this product simply for its increased lumens, projector’s size, and ability of increasing the screen size without distorting much of the image. I am not saying I wouldn’t choose the Nebula Capsule 3, but this projector had more going for me. Unless anything happens I will update my review, but this has been my best purchase this year. I am no expert of projectors but I think this is a great entry product, and for enjoying a home cinema like setup.

I love projectors and after so many research when i bought it .. it delivered on time .. appearance and holding in hand was good .. battery wise it was good and very easy for setting it up ..image quality and sound was great.. only problem i faced like when a little movement happens it kept going on adjustment and for this u must need a tripod and a steady place where it doesnt move .. capsule 3 the way it was advertised like holding in hand and watch but with this if a little movement happens it straight go to adjustment and you lose the excitement of warching something u are into it.. another problem i faced and for that reason i returned my item at the moment because in my nebula.. disney plus.. bbc player .. itv player was not working and kept giving problem saying region problem .. i am in UK and in my region these apps are working but mine projector was not working and contacted Nebula too so due to that reason i had to return my product but if someone projector is supporting all these apps .. you will love using this projector.. but u will need a tripod or a place where it does not move.. i will recommend to try and buy

I'd like to buy a new projector for my daughter to replace her current crappy one with budget around £500-600. I've done quite a lot of research and read through loads of product reviews and videos. I finally chose Nebula Anker Mars 3 Air 1080p. It is surprisingly good! The design is modern and compact enough not to take up too much space. The set up is quite easy and straight forward. No fuzz at all! I've connected it to Apple TV 4K and it's just very simple. The sound from the device itself is pretty good already. I connected an Apple mini HomePod as well and it worked smoothly. I have bought a tripod separately. All in all, I'm just very happy with the product. I'm so happy that I have bought another one for our home! Highly recommend the product for anyone who is looking for a not too expensive but with top projection quality device!

I'm a bit of a projector nerd, having owned several different makes and models over the years. I've owned all the Nebula Capsule models but, apart from the Capsule 3, I've never found them to be bright enough and, of course, none except the 3 had fhd. I purchased the Mars 3 (do not confuse this with the Mars 3 Air that this review is covering) and loved it because of its brightness, full HD and the sound. But it is a hulking brute of a projector and still had no native support for Netflix. Soooo.. what about the Mars 3 Air? Well, I love this too. Its small, light and totally portable. At 400 lumens it is bright enough for me to get a 120ins picture on my wall in darkness or very low lighting conditions and the image look incredible In full HD. The sound coming from dual 8w speakers really surprised me. It was loud and had plenty of deepness to it which I didn't expect without a subwoofer. As usual, the battery claims of 2.5hrs runtime are perhaps a little optimistic and rely upon the battery being set to eco mode which reduces the brightness somewhat and I'd have preferred USB-C charging so a power bank could be added but, all in all, this is a great addition to the Anker projector factory and my favourite one yet.

I got the Mars 3 air as the capsule 3 just didn't cut it for me. And I'm blown away be the performance of this little unit. Im using it in my Campervan, so even with the blinds closed there's still a far amount of light. The Mars 3 air handles this and more. I can actually turn the brightness down to 40% and still get a perfect image. The sound is amazing too, with the volume around 30 it blows you away. A real cinema experience. On the lower settings the battery last more than long enough to watch a good length film. I also have the option of plugging into the vans inverter. At the lower settings It draws under 5 amps and on full it draws around 7 amps. This includes the 1.2 amps the inverter uses. The customer services from Nebular has been outstanding. I bought this a few days before prime day, where it was discounted by £30. One quick phone call to Nebular about their 30 day price match guarantee, and they refunded the difference. Returning the capsule 3 was also an easy process. A great company and a fantastic little projector.

Pros: is truly light and portable and works on most flat surfaces without the need for a projector screen. Sound is decent but its better connected to a sound bar. Fan isn't very loud. auto keystone is great. Cons: This doesn't work as a wireless display on windows. You have to connect via HDMI or chromecast via a third party app no Miracast. The GoogleTV OS is slow and theres a lag between button presses and responses Google TV has a lot of ads and very cluttered UI the Sleep Mode Timer is buried in the settings took ages to find it and its annoying to get to every time. I've used this daily for nearly a year and its a good projector but there's better picture quality and features for cheaper.

Ich habe mir den Nebula Mars 3 Air im Angebot für 380 € gekauft und nutze ihn hauptsächlich für Filme, Serien und YouTube. Nach mehreren Wochen Nutzung hier mein ausführliches Fazit 👇 🎥 Bildqualität – überzeugt im Alltag Der Mars 3 Air liefert ein scharfes Full-HD-Bild mit kräftigen Farben und einem guten Kontrast. Vor allem in einem abgedunkelten Raum macht das Filmeschauen richtig Spaß. Dank Autofokus und automatischer Trapezkorrektur ist der Beamer außerdem schnell einsatzbereit. 🔊 Sound – überraschend gut Die integrierten Lautsprecher liefern einen klaren und kräftigen Klang. Für Filme und Serien reicht der Sound vollkommen aus, sodass man nicht zwingend eine externe Soundbar oder Lautsprecher benötigt. ⚙️ Google TV – gute Ausstattung mit kleinen Rucklern Google TV ist bereits integriert und bietet Zugriff auf alle wichtigen Streaming-Apps. Die Einrichtung ist einfach und grundsätzlich funktioniert alles zuverlässig. Allerdings merkt man, dass die Hardware an ihre Grenzen kommt. Während ein Film läuft, reagiert das Menü teilweise träge und beim Öffnen der Einstellungen oder der Startseite kommt es zu deutlichen Rucklern. Das beeinträchtigt zwar nicht die Wiedergabe des Films selbst, wirkt aber nicht ganz so flüssig, wie man es von modernen Streaming-Geräten gewohnt ist. 🎧 Bluetooth – kleine Schwäche Mit meinen AirPods Pro kommt es gelegentlich zu leichten Störgeräuschen oder kurzen Aussetzern. Das passiert nicht ständig, ist aber hin und wieder hörbar. Über die integrierten Lautsprecher treten diese Probleme nicht auf. 🔋 Mobilität – ideal für unterwegs Der integrierte Akku und das kompakte Design machen den Beamer sehr flexibel. Egal ob im Wohnzimmer, Garten oder beim Camping – der Mars 3 Air lässt sich nahezu überall einsetzen. 👍 Pro: • Scharfes Full-HD-Bild • Gute Farben und Kontrast • Autofokus und automatische Trapezkorrektur • Gute integrierte Lautsprecher • Integrierter Akku • Kompakt und leicht zu transportieren • Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis im Angebot 👎 Contra: • Google TV reagiert während der Wiedergabe teilweise träge und das Menü ruckelt • Bluetooth-Audio mit AirPods Pro verursacht gelegentlich Störgeräusche oder kurze Aussetzer ⚖️ Fazit – sehr guter Beamer mit kleinen Software-Schwächen Der Nebula Mars 3 Air überzeugt vor allem mit seiner Bildqualität, dem guten Klang und seiner Mobilität. Die Schwächen liegen eher bei der Software: Google TV läuft nicht immer ganz flüssig und die Bluetooth-Verbindung zu meinen AirPods Pro ist gelegentlich störanfällig. Da diese Punkte den Filmgenuss selbst kaum beeinträchtigen und ich den Beamer für 380 € gekauft habe, bin ich insgesamt sehr zufrieden. Für den regulären Preis von 499 € wären die Ruckler in Google TV und die gelegentlichen Bluetooth-Probleme für mich allerdings deutlich schwerer zu akzeptieren und würden das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis spürbar verschlechtern.

Era diverso tempo che desideravo acquistare un proiettore e dopo attente visioni su YT di comparazioni e recensioni, ero indeciso su due modelli, alla fine ho preso il Nebula Mars 3 Air perché in molti lo consigliano sia per le sue prestazioni, l'ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, ma soprattutto per via della Google TV installata, ed effettivamente è un gran vantaggio dato che la maggior parte dei proiettori portatili installa altri sistemi operativi che non hanno Netflix e va quindi inserito in altri modi. Con la Google TV è come avere una TV, quindi Rai Play, Mediaset, Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+, DAZN e tutto il resto. Insieme al proiettore ho acquistato qui su Amazon un telo da 100" con treppiedi che riesco a montare con facilità. Il grande vantaggio di un proiettore come questo, è che lo trasporti ovunque, anche a casa di amici portando con sé il telo nella sua borsa/custodia. Vedere un film proiettato a 100" è veramente un'esperienza, anche se la qualità non è quella del mio tv oled. Film che ho visto e rivisto, ora godono di nuova giovinezza, in un certo senso è come vederli per la prima volta. Naturalmente il proiettore dà il meglio di sé quando è collegato alla corrente e in condizioni di buio totale, ma tenete conto che mi è capitato di proiettare dei film sul soffitto della camera da letto con le tapparelle abbassate a 3/4 (luce del primo pomeriggio) e la proiezione, anche se non perfetta, è comunque godibile. A mio parere il vero godimento si raggiunge proiettando film in formato 16:9 che riempiono completamente la sup. del telo, soprattutto quelli risalenti agli anni 70/80/90 dove è visibile quella "sporcatura" della grana della pellicola che ti fa vivere l'esperienza cinematografica. L'audio proveniente dalle casse è davvero buono e ricordatevi che se non vi basta, potette collegarlo a delle casse bluetooth. La ventola del proiettore è super silenziosa e quasi impercettibile. Ricordatevi che quando il proiettore funziona a batteria, l'autonomia è di circa 2h e mezza, ma in modalità "ECO", quindi avrete meno luminosità rispetto a quella standard, con questa modalità sono dichiarati un'ora e mezza di visione. Non ho riscontrato problemi utilizzando la funzione airplay dal mio iPhone, ma penso che vi servirà in poche occasioni. L'unico piccolo neo, è quando si proietta in diagonale rispetto al telo, bisogna perdere un po' di tempo nell'allineamento dell'immagine, ma non è assolutamente un problema. Ricordatevi che per raggiungere i 100" bisogna posizionare il proiettore a 2,7 metri di distanza, gli 80" a 2,1 m, i 120" a 3,2 metri e i 150" a 4 metri, ma credo che la visione ottimale si ottenga proiettando a 100". Non ho provato il proiettore collegandolo a fonti esterne o a console di gioco. CONSIGLIO IMPORTANTE: Impostate i parametri "DNR" e "Mpeg NR" in "spento" e "DI FIlm Mode" in "auto", ne guadagnerete in resa visiva avvicinandovi ad una proiezione cinematografica. Si arriva a settare questi parametri da questo percorso: Impostazioni > [Display e Suono] > [Immagine] > [Impostazioni Avanzate] Scritto questo, consiglio vivamente il Nebula Mars 3 Air, posso confermare che insieme al Sony Oled acquistato qualche anno fa, è la spesa migliore per un prodotto audio/visivio.

Ongelofelijk wat uit zo’n kastje komt. Met accu op normale weergave een uur, op eco een stuk langer, dus op netvoeding is aan te raden. Scherp stellen en obstakels vermijden gaat super. Geluid is ook meer dan voldoende, bass wat hoger zetten.

👍👍👍👍👍

Dobry rzutnik, dość jasny, dobra jakość obrazu i bardzo dobry dźwięk (jak na kompaktowy rzutnik). Czasem jest wolny, zwłaszcza po aktualizacji. Automatyczne ustawienie ostrości nie zawsze działa jak należy. Czasem lewa część obrazu jest ostra, a prawa lekko rozmyta, co może być związane z nie równomiernym nagrzewaniem się rzutnika
