The Nebula Capsule II, which is better suited as a home projector, is rated to last 2.5 hours.

In testing, it indeed delivered long battery life, making it ideal for portable use. It also features Wi-Fi connectivity.īuilt into the Apollo is a rechargeable 9,750mAh battery, which, according to Anker, can last for up to 4 hours of video playback on a charge.

Unlike the Capsule II, the Apollo lacks an audio-out jack, but it can connect to an external speaker via Bluetooth (as well as, as mentioned, serving as a Bluetooth speaker itself). (In the photo below, the Apollo is shown with a flash drive in the USB port more on that in a bit.)Īlso back here is a jack for the power adapter. On the back are power and Bluetooth-connection buttons, as well as one HDMI and one USB Type-A port. On the left side of the Apollo, behind the lens, is a small focus wheel with which I was easily able to bring the image to a sharp focus.

The app has a touch pad, plus home, return, and menu buttons, and a button that opens a virtual keypad. I had previously installed it on my iPhone while testing the Nebula Capsule II, and had only to select "Apollo" for it to sync with the projector. You can also control the Apollo through Anker’s Nebula Capture app. Sometimes I had to try three or four times before I reached the item I actually wanted to click. Between the two, I preferred using the remote, because in navigating among menu choices with the touch pad, it was easy to overshoot my destination. This built-in control panel has a set of controls similar to what's on the included remote control, which eschews the touch pad and adds a five-way controller with a central button. If you don’t touch the panel for five seconds or so, the control buttons disappear, but you can rematerialize them simply by touching the top. The center of the top becomes a touch pad. When the Apollo is turned on, the Nebula logo turns red, and five white virtual buttons flank it: home, return, mouse (cursor), plus, and minus (for volume control). Through the top, a Nebula logo is faintly visible, along with some (real or decorative) circuitry. The lower part of the Apollo’s frame is clad in a matte-black wrapping pierced with tiny holes for a grille-like texture, while the top is a translucent, glossy black. If that is not enough height, underneath the Apollo is a threaded hole that fits a tripod. This configuration gives the projector a few inches of throw height-as opposed to a palmtop model like the Kodak Luma 350, which rests on four tiny feet, barely an eighth of an inch tall. In form it resembles the Anker Nebula Capsule II, but while the Capsule II is cylindrical-similar in shape to a large soda or beer can-the Apollo is more like a rectangular box, with rounded edges and corners, set on end. I think of the Apollo, which measures 5.2 by 2.6 by 2.6 inches, as a "micro-tower" projector, with the bottom part holding the speaker and other components and the lens on top. Several other projectors I currently have under review can also double as Bluetooth speakers. The Apollo packs a single 6-watt speaker, which can operate sound-only as a Bluetooth speaker when you are not projecting, as is true with the Nebula Capsule II’s 8-watt speaker. FWVGA or 480p) resolution is common among mini projectors-we saw it in both the Luma 350 and the AAXA P2-A Smart Pico Projector-though short of the 1,280-by-720, or 720p, resolution of the Nebula Capsule II. At 200 ANSI lumens, the Apollo is of modest brightness, matching the output of the Anker Nebula Capsule II and the Kodak Luma 350, the latter being our Editors’ Choice palmtop projector. The Apollo uses a DLP-based light engine, employing an LED light source that has a rated lifetime of 30,000 hours. Its unusually long battery life between charges makes the Apollo a good choice as a portable projector, especially when you are away from an external power source and also need impactful audio.

Speaking of Android, the Apollo has that operating system built in, bringing the universe of Android apps to your projector screen. You can control the Apollo through its built-in control panel, an included remote, or from an iOS or Android device through the Nebula Connect app. It can project images and video from external sources (stored on a USB thumb drive, or from internal memory), play music files, and even function as a Bluetooth speaker when paired with your smartphone or other mobile device. The Anker Nebula Apollo is among the smallest models in the company’s Nebula line of entertainment projectors, but it packs a lot of multimedia capability into its modest body.
