Kodak Ultra Mini Portable Projector 75 - HD LED DLP Rechargeable Projector 100 Display, Built-in Speaker - HDMI, USB and Micro SD

I purchased the luma 150 and it’s a great little projector to take camping. It’s bright enough to even watch films in the day! It’s got a decent battery life of about 2.5 hours which is plenty of time to watch a film before falling asleep. It even runs when you plug in a portable charger! There were a few hiccups I encountered when setting up the 150 m: 1. One thing I didn’t realise is that streaming providers like Netflix and Disney+ don’t allow you to screen mirror films - you have to purchase a hdmi adapter for your phone for this to work - however you can still mirror your own videos and YouTube videos. There is also a very slight lag. The Luma 350 has a Netflix app installed, which is why it’s so much more expensive. The 150 isn’t too dissimilar from the 75, so if you’re looking to save money and don’t mind the 2 hour battery life (instead of 2.5) and a dimmer bulb, go for that. 2. I had an issue trying to get movies to work when I plugged my pen drive into the USB port on the Luma 150 - I kept getting “all files unrecognisable” error. (I tried every format I could - .mp4, .flv, .mkv, .mov etc and still nothing worked). After researching a bit i realised my USB was in the wrong format - you have to format your USB to FAT32 to get it to be readable by the projector, but After doing this and testing .mp4 files it still didn’t work. HOWEVER - the fix I found was making sure your videos are in 30FPS or lower - otherwise the projector cannot play them. Resolution size 1080 x 1920 works perfectly too, but no larger. I haven’t tried micro SD but I’m guessing the FPS issue may be the same ^ these issues aren’t stated in the user manual, or on any online forums. This was my fix to the issue and I hope it helps someone else having this issue. It drove me crazy lol The hdmi cable provided is great to use to plug into games consoles and a laptop with no lag, and the option to be completely wireless and run of a battery is very impressive for a projector, and the audio output is actually pretty good! Shame it’s only aux input and no Bluetooth, but I imagine that would use up more battery power. All in all I’d highly recommend. :)

Excellent Project and very comprehensive in its use.

I bought this looking for something that could at least project to 200”, at first I was ready to send back as I tried a few of the apps namely Disney and Apple TV but they would not allow me to stream natively from the unit, fire stick rectified that issue. The quality of the picture is really decent but as others have said the audio is terrible, I will also add that I have mainly used this connected to a power source so I have it on max lumens. The price I think could be £100 - £150 less but all in all I am happy with the purchase considering it’s ease to set up and the focus wheel and auto correction work as stated, on the video I have it Bluetooth connected to a jbl speaker, and the projection is on to an off white wall as I’m currently awaiting my screen.

This review relates only to the Kodak Luma 150. I bought this projector mainly to use as an art tracer. It has DLP which is needed for projecting an image small enough to fit onto a small canvas. The projector beam, for this purpose, appears to be bright enough and sharp enough because it's close to the canvas. However that is an extremely expensive way to trace images so I had high hopes for the other functions Phone mirroring doesn't seem very useful and you still need to use the phone itself to change the app you are viewing. The aspect ratio will always be the same as the phone, long and narrow. If you really do want to use it, then it's several steps, on an Android phone:- Select mirror on the top of the projector using the arrows; on the phone, go to the web url on the screen; go to Settings>Connections and click on Wifi; choose Kodak there, not your usual one; back to Settings, scroll down and click Connected devices; scroll down to Smart View, choose Kodak. Done. I don't know if I count the same as you but to me that is nine steps which I would rather not bother with. The cables are short:-the HDMI cable included is only 77cm/30 inches long and the mains lead is 1 metre long. The HDMI cable works with my laptop but I could not make it work with my tower PC. Battery life was measured to be 1 hour, 38 minutes I tested the HDMI Amazon Fire TV Stick. The room needs to be pitch dark. Dim lighting is not enough to see anything. 50 Ansi Lumens seems rather low. The sound is adequate so I don't need to buy additional speakers and I can hear well as it has such a quiet fan. The native resolution is low at 854x480 and seems to be pixellated (see image) I don't know if that's the tiny Led light pattern or pixellation from the low-res. I just tell what I see. Something that the manual does not tell you is that this projector can only display images from a USB stick of less than 32Gb formatted to *FAT32 only*. Larger USB sticks are formatted to exFAT which the projector can't read. Photos need to be directly in the root of the USB stick as the Kodak can't see directories. The images will present as a slideshow unless the button on top of the Kodak is tapped repeatedly until you see a pause button below the image, then tap it again to select pause. For me, that's a quite fiddly because the kodak seems very slow to respond. This is where a remote control would have been useful so that we wouldn't need to stand over the projector tapping away. Best uses are: As an art tracer via a FAT32 formatted USB stick For presentations via HDMI to laptop As a Home cinema in a dark room via HDMI Amazon smart stick with voice control for Netflix, Prime etc., or similar smart TV stick Pros: It's DLP which means you can project very close and small. That function is needed for art work. Pleasantly quiet fan Looks cute. White gloss top, non-slip rubber feet mounted on white plastic underneath and rose gold trim all round the outside. It has a screw thread underneath for a camera tripod. Cons: No remote control No keystone correction No bluetooth No tripod No Android OS Native resolution low Loses a bit of focus by itself from time to time

Very expensive, cannot connect wirelessly, manual does not tell you most important things about how to make it work (these days it should be "plug-and-play" and software looks like it was made in 1990's). No customer/technical support in the UK. I will never buy Kodak product again. One can buy equally malfunctioning gadget for 10% of its price. Very disappointed.

Great little projector, particularly useful in artwork. A bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Wireless connectivity is a real bonus making it very easy to set up.

Very good. Just what I wanted. Be ideal for using while camping. To watch Netflix use a 3rd party streaming service and it will work. Does charge while in use but the battery still discharges albeit a lot slower. First time using while plugged into the mains for 3 hours battery had dropped to half. Very happy with my purchase would recommend. Most comments that are negative are asking what you would expect from a full size projector which isn’t going to happen. Speaker is a little tinny. I just plugged in my jbl charge and did the job. Small, compact, decent build quality and picture quality is very good

It is small, easy to use and good value. The picture is not very bright, but I expected that. It is fine to use in a room with lights off and curtains/blinds pulled. It's small size means it is very portable and works well with an iPad for showing slides or videos at meetings.
