We are very excited about this!
Have you ever had the dilemma where you have heaps of different rooms at your Kid’s Church and really need to have some kind of visuals in all of them but don’t have the thousands of dollars to spend on projectors? Audio and Visual gear can easily cost lots of money, and many times we can’t justify the benefits versus the cost of making it happen.
Well, recently, one of the guys in our Planetkids team approached us with a solution – a mini projector. As you can see above, this nifty little unit is probably the most portable visual device I have ever seen. Around-a-bout the size of a Bible, we are putting these mini projectors in all of our early childhood rooms and primary rooms so that everyone has the benefits that a full visual system brings, for a fraction of the cost. I’m talking less than 500 bucks each!
Not only are these things cheap, but they have all of the inputs that a normal projector has: it connects to your laptop as per normal and even has a built in speaker (as well as an audio out plug if you have your own speakers). But not only that, but it has built in memory and a SD card slot so that you can transfer photos and videos directly onto the projector. How good is that? We loaded up our RAW files disc from 4 onto there and were able to run our curriculum without any computers plugged into the projector.
Because it uses LEDs instead of a globe, it runs at a really low temperature, and does not require globe replacements like traditional projectors do.
We love it! Look out for them soon when they are released! We will post links to shops when they become available.
