Outside is expensive. It seems like doing almost anything these days costs way too much, even just going to the movies. Instead of paying an extortionate amount for one film, why not enjoy every film on a massive screen at home? And with Halloween around the corner, we know you’ll want to have a few scary movie marathons.
That’s where the Anker Nebula Capsule 3 mini projector comes to save the day, or night. This little device makes every movie a blockbuster experience, and it’s at a record-low price. Amazon has dropped the cost from $530 to $380 with a $150 discount. This deal may not stick around, so grab it before the price shoots back up.

We rated the original Nebula Capsule highly, and the third-gen device improves on its predecessor in some key areas, including brightness, resolution, projection size and more. Though it’s a bit bigger than the older models, the Capsule 3 projector still fits into your hand and only weighs 2 pounds, so it can be taken with you easily. The projector offers 200 ANSI lumens of brightness and 1080p HD resolution, plus you can play videos for 2.5 hours thanks to a 52Wh built-in battery that’s made to conserve energy.
The projector has Android TV 11 built in for easy access to streaming apps, and it works with Google Assistant and Chromecast. Netflix is officially licensed and pre-installed. A powerful 8-watt Dolby Digital speaker delivers crisp audio, and then there’s even an optimized outdoor mode to boost the sound when there might be more environmental factors at play.
CNET’s review of the Capsule 3 breaks down how it handles real-world use — from setup to streaming. The Nebula Capsule 3 also made it onto PCMag’s best smart home devices list for its portability and streaming features.

Why this deal matters
During his review for CNET, Geoffrey Morrison stated, “Overall, the Capsule is very impressive for its size. For something that could fit in most cup holders, yet create a TV-sized image anywhere, it’s a great gadget.” That was before the current price drop, so it’s an even better value today. Previously, we saw this projector drop to $400, but that was only for Prime members. Everyone can enjoy this deal, and it’s cheaper than it was before.
