The Anker X1 Pro Kickstarter seems destined to make it possible for you to build a cinema literally anywhere – is the movie theatre as we know it in trouble?

Just launched on Kickstarter, the Anker Nebula X1 Pro is a new take on portable projectors – built like a wheely bag. It shows creators that the whole movie business (from start to finish) can be in their hands, or their car trunk, and deployed anywhere.

Featuring a 3,500 ANSI lumen 4K projector and a 400W spatial sound system with satellite 7.1.4 spatial speakers, the system gains its world first because these wireless speakers are detachable – with built-in batteries – and can be placed and automatically set up to create Dolby Atmos sound, so a movie theatre the size of the space available can be ‘built’ wherever you are.

The main projector has the brightness of a premium projector at 3500 ANSI lumens, and a 14-element glass lens and a f/2-f/5.6 iris, which is capable of projecting an image up to 300-inches.

JMGO N1S Ultra review: is this how projectors should always have been?

Four not-exactly-cameras that every creative should snap up during prime!

The optics have a 5000:1 native contrast ratio bolstered up to 56,000:1 dynamic contrast using the processing system called ‘NebulaMaster’ image processing, as well as Dolby Vision.

The lens sits on a built-in micro gimbal which can tilt up to 25 degrees, and features ambient light adaptation and wall color adaptation for easier setup. This with the now industry standard Google TV platform – and built-in Netflix – making access to 700,000+ movies and TV episodes straightforward.
Each detachable speaker has a claimed 8 hours of battery life – more than enough for an extended movie night. There is also a retractable power cord built into the housing.
A 200-inch inflatable screen – with places to attach the speakers to – is also being offered by Anker for the complete experience.

The soundcore Nebula X1 Pro has a future RRP of $4,999.99, but is on Kickstarter until November 12, with discounts up to 40% for early backers and tiered pricing afterwards. The screen is $1,999 but, again, there are discounts and bundles available.
Early backers are expected to get their units before the end of 2025, with the device in retail early 2026.
