EyeClops Mini Projector by Jakks Pacific {Review}
Thursday, November 05, 2009 Posted by Jolly Mom
Technology just keeps getting better and better. With the EyeClops Mini Projector by Jakks Pacific you can now take a big screen TV wherever you go. The EyeClops is a small (I mean really small…it fits in the palm of your hand) projector with audio and video inputs so that you can plug and play just about anything.
Your iPod video, video game console, DVD player, computer...whatever you want. Just find a flat light colored space, turn off the lights, and project away. You can make the screen larger or smaller simply by moving the projector closer or father away from the screen. It uses LED technology so the screen is very bright, and you don’t have to change out expensive bulbs. You can even adjust the sharpness of the picture. It also comes with a built in adjustable speaker and a battery pack so you can use it almost anywhere.
You could set it up for your kids (or big kid) to use in the car on a long trip. You could take it camping along with a portable DVD player and watch a scary movie around the camp fire. You could even hook up the kids' video games to it and set it up in their room so Mom and Dad can have some quiet. The first thing that Mike thought of was being able to use it so he could watch the Falcons football game outdoors while he grills out on Sunday nights. The possibilities seem endless.
We first tried it out by hooking up our video camera to it and watching some home videos that we projected on to a wall (as you will see below). The first thing I noticed was how quick and easy it was to use. We literally had it set up and going within a couple of minutes. The picture quality was pretty good, and would be better with a better video source, like a DVD player or other digital device. Keep in mind, this product is not designed to replace a high quality projector or make you feel like you are in a theater. It is designed to give you the flexibility to have a quality picture screen wherever you go.
The EyeClops Mini Projector is truly an excellent product with a price tag that can't be beat! I think that it would make a great gift for the holidays. Put it under the tree as a gift the whole family can enjoy, or give it to a teen, college student, or even your husband or partner. Mike has pretty much staked his claim on our Mini Projector {lol} and I bet most men will love it as well!
Want It: The EyeClops Mini Projector can be purchased online and at many toy retailers across the country. MSRP is $99.99. Walmart currently has it priced for $79.99!

dang! your video doesn't look half bad. I couldn't get mine to perform that well when I had one. :(
I actually read a review that shared my similar experiences at http://micro-projector.com/?p=78
I ended up returning mine (even though I picked it up for under $100) and went with the aaxa p1 pico projector. http://www.aaxatech.com/products/kp190_p1_pico_projector.htm
it cost me twice as much but I'm far more satisfied with the picture that this one provides.
In your video, is the room completely darkened? I usually had a bit of light coming in my rooms when I was trying out the eyeclops for myself.
