This is pretty cool.
This is also pretty cool.
Looking into this same thing myself. Aiming to purchase all the components today, but want to do my due diligence first. Some of the electronics companies that make the projectors are totally unfamiliar names to me, and I'm wondering if I should totally pass over the no-names and look for established brand names for projectors.So thinking about getting one of those blow up screens to have movies outside this summer. Curious if anyone has a screen, projector, setup they recommend? Know little to nothing about this, hoping someone can help me avoid making the wrong purchase
Looks like a screen and projector alone can readily be had for less than $500, actually. Just need to figure out if that the $500 projector really is worth double the $250 projector. And if the $100 inflatable screen really is a bad idea compared to a $500 metal frame screen (though some metal frame screens are cheap-ish, too).Looks like you can spend about $4-8k on a complete system. I bet you could do individual pieces for a lot cheaper though....
Says indoor/outdoor, but this screen doesn't look like it can be used free-standing in, say, a backyard. Looks like it has to have a wall or something to mount it to.I have this thing tucked away under my eve. Not sure where you want to set your stuff up, but this could be an option.
Yeah, it comes with brackets to mount on... something, but it doesn’t come with anything.Says indoor/outdoor, but this screen doesn't look like it can be used free-standing in, say, a backyard. Looks like it has to have a wall or something to mount it to.
Will be doing it at my parents' house. The the yards and fences are set up, the movie wouldn't be visible from the street and not readily visible from neighboring yards.For those that do this, I'm guessing you don't have close neighbors or they don't care or maybe they are over watching with you?
I made a portable one a couple years ago out of PVC pipes and blackout curtains. Easy to do and pretty cheap. Sew a couple pieces of the blackout material down the middle, folds the top and bottom and sew a loop for the top and bottom PVC poles to go in, cut the poles to proper lengths with joints and done. 2 long poles for top and bottom, 8 shorter poles for sides, legs coming down and bottom legs. 2 corner joints, 4 T joints. Add I couple tent stakes and rope to stabilize on a windy day.Go to the Fabric Store. Get a few yards of theatre screen caliber fabric for about 5.99 a yard. Get a 50.00 collapsable pavillion/tent from the local store. Go to the Home Depot at a get 6-10 foot wood rod for about 20.00. Go to the Walmart and get some of those fancy shower curtain holder circle things for about 7.99. Put it all together...Bingo, Bango, Bongo......movie.
YWIA.
You very well could output the projector sound into a tiny Amp Like This and use those speakersDoug B said:Sounds like for outdoor, backyard use that some kind of speaker system is needed. Assuming old (but working) speakers from a 1990s Jansen stereo wouldn't be compatible. Or would they?
A lot of variables to consider.
depending on the projectors audio output, all you need is This or possibly This adapter as wellLooks cool ... I wonder how to connect that to a projector, though?
