Installing a 50" Projector in a Campervan | Cinema Setup | Van Life of Mike

- Here's a short video on how I setup a portable 50" projector in the pop top of my VW Camperan T6.1 - I used the Nebula Capsule II projector and Duronic 50" roll down projector screen. I also added a thermometer to measure inside and outside temperature of the van, as well as a usb fan to circulate more air in the back of the van when cooking and on hot summer days. Cheers for watching and be sure to subscribe for more content!

Hey Mike been waiting for this for years. I love your Bushcraft but behind the scenes is really special. Hope you and your family are doing well. Until the next one Greetings from Germany.
that will be awesome for family trips when you need to entertain the littles during bad weather
Thanks! Yeah it will be really good to go and spend time with family in it. I’ll upload more of the family vlogs on here.
Flying Edinburgh on Saturday to pick the van up and watching these I can’t wait. Definitely trying to work on the wife for the project to set up Edinburgh on Saturday to pick a van up and watching these I can’t wait. Definitely trying to work on the wife for the projector set up!!
Nice! Exciting times! Hopefully many adventures ahead.
The channel we didn’t ask for or thought we needed. Alas, here I am. Well done Mike again. Magnet fishing sounds good.
Looking forward to seeing what kind of mischief you get up too 😂
The wireless charger and the ROKK mini are made by the same company. Great install 👍🏻
Love your new projector,and screen fits perfectly as if designed for your van. I watched it on your other channel, enjoyed it then and now, awesome purchase.
am converting vivaro at the moment and was looking for a tv, this is brilliant and does not take up any room great idea
This is such a good outcome for this diy. Great job
Really good vid. Came here for the projector screen but left wiv the fan from Amazon for £18 (wanted 1 anyway and reviews were 4+ star)
Hi Mike loving the projector system, I can see some in depth discussions with my good lady about how much we "need" one. Now the clock. I got one for our van and when the batteries ran down we didn't replace them and eventually we took it out of the van. We have wrist watches and phones we never looked at the clock, it became a nuisance emitting light we didn't need or want. I would rather have the extra couple of inch of work surface you will lose to be honest. Looking forward to the next episode. ATB buddy.
Cheers Paul! Glad to hear some feedback on it. I’m kind of feeling the same about it. Not sure how much I would actually use it.
Thank You Mike for another channel.
No worries! Thanks for subbing 👍🏻
I've got a Duronic 80'' rollout and it's fantastic value. Will upgrade to their pull down version at some point though, less of a faff.
Heyyyy.... Mike, here THE FAN!!! HAHAHAHA... Can I suggested an idea? Well, it's true that when you cook inside, smell to food, but well if you have a good machine to the air go outside, much better, because there the rain all the time and in that case, the kitchen inside... But behind the 2 chairs of you and your wife, a kind of transparent wall, because the smoke, the food smelling... And the bed close until at night. See you!
Hi, Mike just watched your other channel where you were out in your campervan with jack the dog. Great videos again all the best from G
My van hasn't arrived yet but I'm here for all of this :). It has certainly inspired me but since I don't own a tablet I think I'm going to try and mount the projector using a cold shoe and a camera mount. If it works, all in for £15. If it doesn't, I'll just admit I was wrong and do it your way!! Keep up the inspiring good work :)
Best of luck on your adventure with the van!
Lovely a second channel I was wondering when this was going to happen. Just a little bit different type of content lovely.
Thanks Andrew. This channel is about 5 years overdue 😅
@@LifeofMikeOfficial well Mike I've been following you since the early early days when Alec Steel came out to your origional bushcraft fort type shelter. so not exactly sure how many years that's been but you've done quite a bit
Hey Mike, I love behind the scenes type stuff and maybe some bloopers aswell.lol. awesome as usual xx
Cheers Lesley! I’m sure I’ll put some bloopers in here.
So good teaching
COOL
I'd like to place bets on how long everyone thinks it will be before Dad comes at this beauty with pallet wood and recycled nails.
🤣
Excited to see some of the content on this channel! Cheers Mike
Cheers!
Glad to see more and more of your videos
Hi Mike. Great Video, not sure if this is interest to you. I have Nebula too for my Van. I link it to my head unit via Bluetooth and use the surround sound of my van instead of the Nebula unit itself. I know the nebula has great sound anyway. I’ve removed the VW speakers out mine and upgraded it to cerwin vega speakers (could be any of course) but movies sound great! I did soundproof the van as not to annoy others outside, got to respect everyone. 👍
That’s a great tip - thanks! Can you link me the speakers you have? The VW stock ones are naff. Cheers 👍🏻
@@LifeofMikeOfficial The front fit exactly in the same aperture as the old VW’s. Fit the tweeters high up above the window pillars hiding the wire behind.
I got the rear versions because I could fit them into rear seatbelt cassette holes (which I removed). If you don’t have this scenario. You can use the another pair just like the front. They even an integral tweeter version as 6.5”. So if your installing them higher up this would be easier and beneficial (less wiring). Hope that makes sense. Get back to me if you need any help/info/advise. Cheers Simon
Petition to change the name of the chanel to "Meet the Pullens." Kidding, congratulations on the success of your career as a content creator. Can't wait for more content!
Hey Mike my family and I are , long time fans of you and your dad's content and we love the videos you create. Just wanted to give you a heads up that when trying to find your new channel via search (both on roku/youtube and pc/webpage) it was not showing up. I had to use the link from the TA outdoors video to get to the new channel. Maybe there is a youtube setting you can change to make your new channel visible when people search for "life of mike". Thanks for all you do to entertain us and keep up the great work!
Hi Chuck, thanks for the comment and welcome to the channel! The reason it is not showing up in search results yet is because it is a brand new channel that started with 0 subscribers. Once the channel has more videos and subscribers it will begin to be easier to find in search terms 👍🏻
Pritty cool stuff Mike
Pretty cool!
Hey man can please get a link to the different thread please
Cool video, awesome idea.

Cheers for the sub!

hi mike,was the screw you had to get to fit the projector to the mount one like this 1/4" to 1/4" Male to Male Threaded Adapter Convertor Screw Camera Tripod Mount?
thanks
In mission planning did you consider the use of velcro?
Subscribing as I love the content on your first channel (been following you for some time) and have also just bought a campervan!

Looking forward for more Life of Mike behind the scenes videos and other stuff.
Welcome aboard!
Hi Mike, what screw/adapter did you need to get for this mount to work with the nebula capsule?
Can you put a link to the camera thread you said you got to make this work please mate.
Can't remember where I got it from now. It was just a 1/4" camera thread mount.
Good luck with your new channel -
I have to ask as I noticed you had inserted hyperlinks to your other media channels -
I thought …. What a great idea …. However , HIW DID YOU DO THIS ?
when pasting my prepared links from word to default upload in RUclips - only the words paste and no background hyperlink .
You have many many followers and I’m sure no time to answer this - but
If you feel like helping a newbie I would be hugely grateful !!!
All the best
Ruth ( vanlife goodies )
Hi Ruth, I tend to copy the hyperlinks directly from the website in the search bar from the internet. Also, if you put the cursor at the very end of the hyperlink and then press enter, often that will activate the hyperlink to blue so that it is clickable. Hope that helps!
What mount is this for the nebula? Ive been looking online for it by the name of Rok but can’t find it
Hi, there is a link to it in the video description.
63th sub way back when 🎉
Hi Mike. Help!!! Bought everything in your video and installed the projector and screen. I have an iPhone and just can’t connect to play anything. Campsite has poor Wi-Fi. Googled loads of things but I’m not very technical. Have connected a usb from my iPhone to the capsule. Mirror imaging not working??? No idea what else to try. A lot of money and just can’t get it to work. Hope you can help. Thanks. Denise
Hi Denise sorry to hear it isn’t working. Apologies this comment is late. Did you manage to sort it? I have an iPhone and turn on my personal hotspot (under settings) this then basically makes my phone a wifi device using 4G phone signal. Then I connect the Nebula capsule to my phone hotspot. Hope that helps?
@@LifeofMikeOfficial hi Mike. Yes all sorted with hotspot. Really enjoy watching your reels and enjoying our new life and adventures in our new van. Best wishes for a happy van life x
How did you end up fitting the projector screen up?
I just hung it on some karabiner hooks to the loops on the projector screen itself
Just about to get a CK campervan as well and stumbled across your channels. Funny you just installed this as we had seen one in a van at CK and my wife decided she wanted one. Can I ask which screen you bought please.
Awesome! It’s a Duronic one. Think I put a link to it in the video description box below the video 👍🏻
Hi Mike, love your regular channel and this 1. My wife and I are returning from NZ soon after 15 yrs. We love the configuration of your van. Did you buy the van as a blank canvas or fitted out. Who fits these out we want one just like this if you dont mind. Thanks for your videos. Hope you do heaps more about the van itself.
Hi! Glad you like the vids and thanks for commenting. So I bought the van like this. From a campervan and caravan dealer in Hampshire. But they bought the van from a conversion company called Camperking. Camperking essentially by the blank canvas panel van and do the conversion. They actually got in touch with me after seeing my main video and I went up to film their place last week. The next video on this channel will be that one!
That's really interesting! One question tough: I'm quite often either in another country, either with low cell coverage and I would like to avoid using data. My tablet has all my movies synchronized for offline read, but I would dream to be able to project them like you. Is there a way to stream the content from my tablet to the nebula? Because obviously I don't have some kind of router to have my devices in the same network, and since I'm still watching some contents(while my gf reads some books) directly on the tablet, it would be greatly appreciated to only have to sync content on my tablet.
There are bluetooth projectors out there that would probably work for you. No data or wifi necessary if you already have the movies downloaded to your tablet.
Hi what projector do
You use with the phone
Thanks
Hi, the projector was a Nebula 2 capsule one. I think I put a link to it in the description of this video 👍🏻
More Mike content great! Looking forward to seeing more life of mike. Love the new gear, the projector is awesome. Would love to meet more of your family if their not camera shy.
Thanks Michael and there will definitely be more! Welcome to the channel and yes hopefully more family content soon :)
@@LifeofMikeOfficial can't wait. Like many others, I really enjoy seeing you and your dad together, you have such a strong father son bond. Can't wait to see what you have planned.
Great Idea, I am looking to do the same to my van, one question the link for the screen takes me to "Duronic BPS70/43 (Size: 142 X 107cm)" but this is longer then the one you are using. Is this the correct link> As I doont want to order the wrong one :)
Hmm not sure why the link does that? It’s a 50” one I know that
Hey Mike could you plug an Xbox series X or PlayStation into the Projector? Does the projector have any available HDMI Ports on the back to plug in say a games console or a DVD player that is HDMI?
Yes it has HDMI in it 👍🏻
Hey, what was the name of the screw mount you also used? I cannot seem to find it in that Rokk system on Amazon
If you type "ROKK Mini Universal Tablet Mount Kit" on amazon it should come up. Then you need to get the 1/4" screw mount separately.
551st subscriber…….better late than never 😂
Mike - I’ve tried to add the links several times but they disappear within seconds. Am I going mad or are we not allowed to add Amazon links to comments?
Ah! Yes my bad, I think RUclips doesn’t allow links in comments. Can you let me know what to type in to search and I’ll try and find it?
