Oh, this is really cool. To think how portable it is. Great for events. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the post. It definitely sounds cool, but I personally will be interested to see how well the Pico holds up. I bought a DV-10 projector and it was the worst equipment purchase I’ve made in a decade. It failed when I tried to use it at an event but fortunately I had a Toshiba there for backup. I griped to Optoma afterward and I did get some satisfaction but quite frankly, I’m am still a little leery of the company. In fairness, the DV-10 is a living room device and has proven itself not to be portable. Let’s hope this little guy holds up to it’s promise.
I always recommend having equipment backup on site at an event, especially at a critical one such as a wedding. If this proves to be a good device it is certainly affordable enough to buy two…
Thanks for letting me know about your experience with similar items, and for the advice! I’m sure this will come in handy when choosing equipment for events. Please let us know how it works out for you.
