Good value projector. Great for screen mirroring of films from your laptop in the garden or camping. I use an IKEA sun sail as a white screen in my wood pergola and this works well. Good value product, very affordable. Easy top operate.
This projector looks great value at £90 in the UK. The range of inputs at that price looks unbeatable, I’m impressed! Dam, this means I need to buy one (via the link of course) Thanks Mike and Kath for finding this product and great video as normal.
Hello! I just watched this and your video about the 410. Which was your favourite? I'm mostly interested in sharpness, colour quality, and fan noise! Thanks so much. Really helpful videos.
Hi there, thanks for the detailed review. Could you explain exactly how to project the image using my iphone and have the sound to external blue tooth speakers please? Cheers!
If you would have to choose between Vankyo 430, Apeman, and Elephas W13, which one would you go for? What I mostly care about, is colours, and clarity for movies :D
Great video, new to this, if you had sky go on your tablet, can you screen mirror that to the projector Also what sort of distance does projector need to be away from the wall, can you advise on this please

not sure about the skygo sorry and it depends on the price of the cover, there is a good warranty anyway so if it is very cheap then maybe worth it for a little more peace of mind
Hi Mike and thank you for your review, my question is, if I connect my PC laptop to the device can I stream from Netflix, Disney and such through the PC or do I need the Firestick? Thanks
Nope , not again Mike i bought the Elephas after watching your video ive had it less than 2 month and it displays a whitescreen. Contacted Elephas no return from them. I even bought a nice screen and everything haha
@@mikesunboxing Yeah it was amazon , had no luck trying to get a new one. Supposedly i have to contact Elephas via email. I think ill just save up for a decent one mate.
@@32fw2v send me an email with the details of the sale and if it was from elephas directly i can try and get someone in sales to try and figure something out
@@mikesunboxing between working and running a youtube channel, i cant have you chasing up my amazon orders Mike youve got enough on. Appreciate it though :)
We used this one Neewer 50cm Mini Tripod: Available from affiliate links: Amazon UK: amzn.to/2lc6uj5 Amazon US: amzn.to/2zygqWn Amazon CA: amzn.to/2zz6r6J Amazon DE: amzn.to/2KD6nXw Amazon FR: amzn.to/2YSN29H Amazon ES: amzn.to/2TmNr38 Amazon IT: amzn.to/2TlxU3J Thanks for watching :-)
i have been told the 430W is upgraded but to be honest comparing the two i can't see any real difference. The fan noise profile is slightly more muted on the 430W but otherwise picture wise they look extremely similar
Great review. Thanks Mike. Just finding it difficult to get throw ratio in the specs but have worked out (from manual) that it's about 1.475:1 (throw to diagonal). I want to throw 360cms and so figure screen diagonal at that distance will be 244cms. With 16:9 aspect ratio, I figure actual screen size will be 120cm x 213cm. (1) Does the maths look good to you? (LOL) and (2) Is there any way to adjust screen size from the projector to make it smaller? Help appreciated. Thx.
Hi mate thanks for the review .. can you advise on the WiFi .. if I connect to it then how do I also stay connected to my router ?? Or will I have to use a firestick etc .. and the mirror option is only for streaming phone content or content over the phones data.
Can I please add a comment to help all the people who are having trouble with the projector not reading USB Or SD content. I had this trouble and couldn't find help anywhere. I had a 2tb memory stick which wouldn't work, so i formatted it using file system NTFS and not the FAT32(Default) and the projector found all my music video's.I Did The same with my SD card and that works also now. Also resolution of video has to be 1280X720.
Hi mike thanks for the review it was incredibly helpful. Just a few questions, I’m quite technologically challenged so was wondering if I could play Netflix/amazon prime/Disney plus through my IPhone? I’ve read it may not work with screen mirroring as the videos are encrypted. Also, what connection would I need to plug my MacBook Air in? Or would I be able to use the projectors WiFi too? Thanks in advance!
there are some restrictions of content from the apps you mentioned although it varies from device to device. the macbook air might be okay with the wifi, but it isn't something i have tried sorry
Hi Mike, thanks for the video. Can you tell me what size was that projected image you got please at 99/100% ? Thinking of getting one of these to use as an 'outdoor cinema' for the kids for the odd late evening over the summer as the sun goes down.
Good morning , if my phone was connected to my Bluetooth speakers and I was screen mirroring to say RUclips , would I get audio from my Bluetooth speaker
I just bought one of these, was excited to get it going only to find when I select screen mirroring it just says “no signal”. 😕 No instructions appear and no WiFi connection on my iPhone. I’m guessing it’s faulty?
Hello, my girlfriend bought this projector for casual use. She connects her laptop to it via HDMI, but we've noticed some popping/cracking sounds coming from the projector's speaker. Is there a way to fix this on the unit? Or are we better off connecting an external speaker every time? Also, pretty frequently the image will go black and then turn back on, as if it's resetting. Curious if anyone else has had this issue.
This is maybe easier to fix or at least advise if we can ask more questions and get direct answers, so feel free to join our Discord chat and we can go over it in more detail discord.gg/gaeeDPw
Ouch! You just dug into your mobile data for YT mirroring - though it does mention the option for router use as an alternative to its own wifi "hotspot"
@@mikesunboxing Probably as painful as entering a WIFI password using up/down left/right - shoot on a smart TV remote. Bernie, the bolt, up a bit, left a bit
Vankyo very much for this wonderful insight.
😂 brilliant and even more so on a Monday morning
OMG finally a review using both the mirroring and a fire stick TY!
Thanks glad you enjoyed it
Short & sweet . 👍
To the point.❗️
Glad you liked it
I bought one of these for Christmas the picture quality is pretty good up until 100 inches, you can use it with a light on without no prblem
Yes agreed this is a good option
okay so ur'e the first one whose review i just watched and im definitely buying it!!!
thanks for watching
The carry bag seems very good. It has good colors, too. It's really appreciated. Very nice review, Mike! Thank you.
Thanks for watching!

Hello! I just watched this and your video about the 410. Which was your favourite? I'm mostly interested in sharpness, colour quality, and fan noise! Thanks so much. Really helpful videos.
they are both very similar and i would say between the two i would be hard pressed to tell the difference picture wise
Great review, can you tell me anything about the audio? does it allow connection to an external speaker, wired or Bluetooth?
wired speakers are supported
Great review, I'm confused between 430w and 470 both of similar specifications which one is better?
check the features, the W models normally have wireless functionality, and the higher the model number the bigger and brighter the unit is (usually)
Quick question Mike. How well do you think projector would work out in a garden and not a completely dark room ???
it will be okay in some brighter scenarios, but is best in as dark a room as possible
Hi Mike. Good video. 👍
Thanks for watching Oletta :-)

If you would have to choose between Vankyo 430, Apeman, and Elephas W13, which one would you go for? What I mostly care about, is colours, and clarity for movies :D
good question, the vankyo seems a better option colour wise but generally a little more noisy in darker scenes
Very good projector.
I think so too!
Great video, new to this, if you had sky go on your tablet, can you screen mirror that to the projector
Also what sort of distance does projector need to be away from the wall, can you advise on this please
yes to the first question and i would say a minimum of about 5 or 6ft further away the larger the image
Yes
Thanks for watching
Hi there, thanks for the detailed review. Could you explain exactly how to project the image from the Vankyo using my iphone whilst having the sound to external blue tooth speakers please? Cheers!
i'll see if i can upload a video on that
Great review. How is the fan noise?
it is pretty quiet, not silent but that is the case for almost every projector, but this one isn't too loud
I can hear the sound noise honestly but Iam planning to get it connected to speaker
Hi Mike. Would you advise getting accidental damage and 2 years break down cover with this product? Also would it play sky go off an iPad?
not sure about the skygo sorry and it depends on the price of the cover, there is a good warranty anyway so if it is very cheap then maybe worth it for a little more peace of mind
nice looks good always wanted a good projector
I love it
Great review, thank you. Did you try this outdoors in daytime by any chance?
Not yet working on it
Hi Mike and thank you for your review, my question is, if I connect my PC laptop to the device can I stream from Netflix, Disney and such through the PC or do I need the Firestick? Thanks
yes i believe so, even if the DRM kicks in a cheap HDMI splitter overcomes that pretty quickly
Is there a timer function if I want to go to sleep with this on?
yes there is i think
Thanks, and can I put this on its back to project it to the ceiling? And on its side to rotate the screen? Or is there a rotation function
Would you recommend this over the vankyo leisure 470c as both same price right now on amazon?
not tried that one myself but looks good

sounds about right, i can't recall if this model had digital zoom on it, but that would do it
I don’t have any option to setup WiFi and screen mirroring , I have the same model ?
there are a few versions of the L430 so might not support it, if you are unsure check with the seller
does it working on wifi while connected to phone? or i need to download movie
that should be possible if all the devices are on the same wifi access point
Hi mate thanks for the review .. can you advise on the WiFi .. if I connect to it then how do I also stay connected to my router ?? Or will I have to use a firestick etc .. and the mirror option is only for streaming phone content or content over the phones data.
yes the second part is correct although there is an update in the works to allow normal wifi operation i believe
Great review. Where did you get the tripod from please?
there are two i use both already reviewed on the channel, one is the joby gorillapod 3k and the other neewer 60cm (i think) it was

Let me check normally it is about 6 foot image at about 6-7 foot away so depends on the distance the light will travel onto your projection surface
@@mikesunboxing thanks Mike
@@niallcarolan1445 No problem :-)
Damn this review was so good what the heck
thanks martin appreciate it
how is the sound? can it use a aux cord or external audio sound
Sound it pretty decent and you can also output via the aux cord
Is a scree included with this? if so what size?
no the screen is not included sorry unless the seller offers it as a deal
No mention of sound or speaker connections.
it was in there
could i play netflix from laptop wireless to projector? thanks
not from windows without using the microsoft wireless display adaptor
How do you get it so square
bit of time and adjustment is needed, getting the unit higher helps
Mine does not have the screen mirroring option
there are a few versions of this projector out there, some are different spec
هل يمكنني استخدامه في المدرسة وعرض ملفات word?
i think so, should be bright enough
Good morning , if my phone was connected to my Bluetooth speakers and I was screen mirroring to say RUclips , would I get audio from my Bluetooth speaker
that is a good question and really would depend on the individual device, from my thinking it should work like that
I just bought one of these, was excited to get it going only to find when I select screen mirroring it just says “no signal”. 😕 No instructions appear and no WiFi connection on my iPhone. I’m guessing it’s faulty?
That is weird? I would ask the seller and see if they have any suggestions
Can work netflix??
it will mirror what is on the device
How noisy is it? I just bought elephas 5500 lumens and it’s so noisy it’s bother me 😣
it is as little noisy in some instances but it watching a movie or similar it is fine
Hi. If I plug my iPhones usb cord to the projector, can I project from my phone while still using WiFi on my phone?
no you need a special lightning to hdmi cable
