# Projection I have a Kodak Luma75 (RODPJS75) "pocket portable projector". It's delightfully terrible! The focus mechanism has a lot of backlash, low resolution, and a poor combination of dimness/throw angle means that either the picture is too dim or too small to be useful. But it is cute, it has an internal battery, and internal speaker! - [ ] #wishlist #project #anima AnyBeam UP" Mini Laser Scanning Camping Projector ([$300-400](https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=anybeam+up&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2332490.m570.l1313)) --- 1080p AAXA P7 is a small projector that Dynamicland uses for [Mini Dynalamap](https://dynamicland.org/archive/2022/Mini_Dynalamp) In fact they've been through a whole saga of hardware: - 2016: [Protrackers](https://dynamicland.org/archive/2016/Protrackers) - 2017: [Projectors](https://dynamicland.org/archive/2017/Projectors) and [Realboxes](https://dynamicland.org/archive/2017/Realboxes) - 2018: [Dynabulbs](https://dynamicland.org/archive/2018/Dynabulbs) - 2019: [Dynalamps](https://dynamicland.org/archive/2019/Dynalamps) - 2021: [4K Cameras](https://dynamicland.org/archive/2021/4K_cameras) - 2022: [Mini Dynalamp](https://dynamicland.org/archive/2022/Mini_Dynalamp) maybe I could start with [Installation Kit](https://dynamicland.org/archive/2021/Installation_Kit)?

It may be difficult to calibrate an ultra-short-throw projector (because it's hard to tilt the calibration board and the optics are really distorted)
