Anker Nebula in a beach - where do you put it when watching?

[da_murphster]

Just playing with my nebula setup.

I have a screen with clips from the shop here that hangs the screen down from the hatch.

ATM I just have the nebula on the table but it's difficult get it far enough away from the screen to fill the screen

Anyone done anything with attaching it to the ceiling etc?

Some type of platform behind the bench seat?

Will be interested to see what solutions people might have. We just use ours on the table and put up with the fact that the image doesn’t fill the screen as it’s still better than trying to watch on a tablet or laptop.

You need the Nebula Capsule Max because it has the automatic picture alignment, meaning you can put it anywhere on the cooker/sink glass covers, & it will give a perfect square or rectangular picture. I believe only the Max version will do this.

The title says this is in a Beach, but yes it would be a lot easier in the Ocean.

I would drill a hole in the rear ceiling panel, install a 1/4 inch flush mounted threaded insert and mount the projector upside down. That’s assuming the projector does have a tripod thread underneath. It would be very unobtrusive when not in use.

I do have the max version - but as said there is nothing on the side in a Beach to actually rest the nebula on

I like this idea - I wonder how easy/hard it would be to do?

Not sure what type of fixing to use?

Maybe something like this bonded above then a cover/cap on the ceiling so you dont bludgeon your head??

Something magnetic might be less invasive - you could stick a metal plate either behind the headlining or below the bed then use magnets?

Failing all that I wonder if there is a simpler way? Something on the headrest / headrest mount?

Get a magnetic mount. Can put it on the window - magnet outside , or, in ceiling under bed (magnet under bed slats)….projector hangs underneath Similar to below.

I just put mine on top of the pull out stove but it’s a faff. The Nebula reaches the mains socket or my Bluetti power station. I actually didn’t use it on my last couple of trips until I came up with something better. I don’t know if there is a way of fitting it further back, maybe on a lightweight shelf stuck behind one of the Vanessa bags or maybe on a shelf that fits on the headrest.

Something magnetic would work well. Put a few minds together and we’ll come up with a solution

What I was thinking is this:
Use a threaded insert similar to those used to secure the multiflex and a double ended 1/4 inch screw. See the example photos below.

Have you actually done this? Does it work?

This would be a cracking solution. On the window would mean your head wouldn’t get in the way etc. I wonder if the nebula would correct the angle enough?

Ceilings could be worth a try but I reckon the magnet would not be strong enough to hold through the bed/roof base?

Where are you trying to project the image to? We have the nebula and a beach and find if we put it on the table it fills the whole blind in front of the sliding door and is perfect

I bought a suction type bracket for the sliding door window which works great but the picture is too large for the window blind or my home made projector screen. I could make a larger projector screen I suppose……..

On our Ocean we just put it on the table and use the blackout screen on the sliding door. Wife on the Sofa, me on the recliner

Watching Movies with Anker Nebula Projector

About 5 years ago we bought an Anker Nebula projector for our Defender, along with a collapsible screen. We could use outside or in, though outside the bugs want to be onscreen. Now we have an Ocean, and project directly on the blackout blind. It's not as crisp as a white screen, but more...

I have an Ocean and will not drill any holes into it. I use the shelf that can be purchased and hangs on the side above the windows over my sink/refrigerator. My projector screen is a pop up that rests on the roof in the pop up, so I have a very large screen. The mini projector sits on the shelf near the wardrobe and the picture fills the entire screen. It’s almost as large as my 55” at home. The Yaufey projector is ok and has the auto keystone feature. If I had it to do over again, I might change the projector but not the setup. We have the entire downstairs available for use.

Hi folks, I bought one of these which attaches to the bottom of the Anker and with the 50” Duronic Projector screen I use it fits the projector screen perfectly. (Gives about a 42” viewing screen)
I then push the upstairs bed up and suspend the projector underneath the remaining bit of roof with the tripod. I tie the projector screen to the fasteners next to the pull down bar on roof. You can then adjust how high or low the screen hangs to suit. Hope this helps. Happy to post a video of the set up if needed. 2018 Beach and so watching from the bed with pillows at back door.

Recliner!?!? Does it do back massage too? I don’t have a recliner in my Ocean other than the front seats and they’re turned 180 toward the rear.

No worries, I’m going away this weekend so will do some photos and maybe even a video to let you see my set up in both the elevated and lower positions for the screen. Cheers
