JMGO\u2019s new Picoflix adds to the ever-growing list of portable projectors small enough to be carried in a water bottle pocket. But instead of standing on one end like many cylindrical compact projectors do, the Picoflix is used horizontally and features an integrated rotating gimbal so it\u2019s easier to aim at a screen or wall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Available now through the company\u2019s website for $599<\/a>, the Picoflix uses a 1080p LED light source capable of outputting up to 450 ANSI lumens of brightness. That\u2019s a little less than what similarly sized projectors \u2014 such as the Samsung Freestyle<\/a> \u2014 are capable of, but it should be adequate for use in dark conditions assuming you\u2019re not trying to fill a movie theater-sized screen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Cylindrical projectors with integrated gimbals aren\u2019t a new idea. Both the Samsung Freestyle and the Xgimi MoGo 3 Pro<\/a> offer that functionality, but both stand vertically and depend on a base that needs to be wide enough to add stability. The Picoflix can\u2019t fall over because it\u2019s already lying on its side while in use and simply relies on a small foot on one end to prevent it from rolling away. As a result, it measures in at around 9.5 inches long and just 3.14 inches in diameter. That\u2019s even narrower than a 40-ounce Stanley cup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Being able to rotate the projector\u2019s lens a full 127 degrees offers more flexibility when it comes to where you set it up. You can position it much lower than what you\u2019re projecting on so as to not obstruct sight lines, while JMGO\u2019s screen alignment tech will automatically straighten out the image \u2014 to some degree. The Picoflix isn\u2019t designed to be used as a short throw projector.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

An external power source isn\u2019t necessary as the Picoflix has a 10,000mAh battery built in. JMGO claims that it can last for as long as 4.5 hours when watching movies, but that\u2019s dependent on the projector being in eco mode, which is going to significantly reduce its brightness. You can expect playback time to be quite a bit shorter when using it at full brightness, so plan on bringing an extra battery if you\u2019ll be using it away from a reliable power source.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

At 3.3 pounds, the Picoflix will add a bit of weight to your backpack if you bring it camping.<\/em><\/figcaption>Image: JMGO<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The Picoflix\u2019s connectivity is limited to a single HDMI 2.1 port with eARC support, a pair of USB-A ports, and a USB-C port, all located on either end of the projector. Content can be played from an external drive, but the Picoflix also has Wi-Fi 6 and runs Google TV so you have access to various streaming services, including Netflix, which often isn\u2019t supported on all-in-one projectors from Chinese companies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When not watching videos, the Picoflix can also be used to listen to music through its 10W speaker. It supports Bluetooth 5.4, and JMGO says battery life jumps to about seven hours on a full charge while only listening to audio.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
