I remember the days I had to lug around what I called presentation kit which consisted of my laptop, laptop accessories – the optical mouse (much easier to use), speakers, an external hard drive (in case something happened to my laptop) and of course the projector. And why lug the projector around and not hire it out from the seminar halls itself? Mainly because the venue operators charged an obscene rent for use of their equipment and my employer wanted to “maximize profits”. So I was stuck carting the projector around.

People who fly a lot know what you need to go through in the name of airport security now-a-days. Don’t get me wrong I’m all for safer flying, but it gets very tiring and bothersome if you happen to travel as much and as often as I do and have to open up your laptop and projector at check in. In case your wondering what I do for a living I’m an automotive training consultant for Raytheon. Then I discovered this very aptly marvel called

mini projectors.

These mini projectors are as small as a cell-phone and weigh only four ounces. For their tiny size they boast of an impressive contrast ratio of 1000:1. They connect to camcorders, digital cameras, video players, iPods, iTouches, and iPhones; and are powered by USB. Ideally, the projector is built for presenting photos and videos to a small group from any equipment housing a USB port. It includes also is a tiny 0.5W mono speaker offered as a convenience rather than a feature.

In fact I recommend connecting more high-powered external speakers to it. Its most highlighted features are its extensive portability (size/weight), the richness of colors offered, and all the included accessories. Good news is that mini projectors are easy to set up. And the setup can be done by non-techy persons like me. It’s as easy as connecting the cable, hitting the power button, and choosing the right mode. Not only is the mini projector easy to setup, it is affordable too. I mean very cheap. Prices vary on the functions of the pocket projector. So the more you find fashion and function in the pocket projector, the higher the price.
