*******************
The Smartphone Projector is a charmingly lo-fi way to share your phone's screen. Just place any smartphone that will fit into the cardboard box and the lens enlarges the image by up to eight times! Since the whole thing is made from cardboard and glass, it’s ultra-portable, totally wireless, and uses no additional power.
The Smartphone Projector is a cardboard kit that you make into a handy device. Follow the simple instructions to fold and glue the contraption together and insert the glass lens. Once you’ve put it together, all you need is a dark room and the phone in your pocket. After setting it an appropriate distance from the wall, expand or contract the projector housing to set the focus, sit back, and enjoy!
With the Smartphone Projector, showing the latest viral video to your friends becomes a shared experience instead of a toe-stepping, neck-craning frenzy. Display your vacation snapshots on your living room wall, throw up some visuals for a house party, or watch a film in bed. And kids will enjoy the feeling of having their very own personal movie theater!

[@Louispierce]

The fact you had to simulate the Projection image makes me rather sceptical on how good this actually is.

[@arianviruz6911]

same here

[@barbaramoro8760]

doesnt work well picture is not clear and audio is muffled bc of the cardboard

[@DatNguyen-cy2pr]

Quite blurry in my opinion.

[@CloverPandaQ]

I heard it's better now, as in they made improvements

[@dragonking2719]

Panda Q nope

[@Theodore_VII]

That's... that's actually pretty damn useful and creative, quite original, too. Awesome!

[@WaterWolf0222]

Not really there are at least 5 videos of this. Search up Grant Thompson and all those DIY people. Most had this a LONG tim ago

[@moskwitoe]

It's been done before

[@jnjbenchmarks]

except when you wanna listen to it

[@ShiftK]

lol i think you've missed half of the videos on youtube on this subject

[@lit3plumber12]

It's been done many, many times before. And there's simpler designs of it. A lot cheaper also.

[@Z29vZ2xlc3Vja3Mu]

What's funny to me is that if the projection was simulated, the Vat19 guys were just staring at a blank wall for some of the shots.

[@scribbler_crowe]

Y E S. I love laughing at walls.

[@vat19]

The Smartphone Projector is a fun way to rewatch all of those holiday videos!

[@yarinice1]

And lose all your money! Get it? Because everything you make is incredibly overpriced?

[@1unisol1]

SuperGenericMan They don't actually make anything.

[@ishleeping7347]

Rage The Wolf ソニックファン for me the shipping is like 50$ OVERPRICED? yes.

[@cheatmagnet]

When you seen'simulated video' you just know it's gonna be shit. (and overpriced)

[@HS-PGX]

Rage The Wolf ソニックファン Mate, You have to be kidding me. If you sell things cheaply, it would be impossible to make a profit darn it.

[@joyhally7754]

Wait how will I hear anything?

[@Neronix17]

Headphone jack speaker. Or if you like you can just do an actual DIY project with a magnifying glass and whatever you find that can hold the phone and glass in place.

[@solennecastro4044]

Idk man

[@ben-th2ey]

What if it's a silent por-- I mean errr movie.

[@iluvsmosh01]

Connect it to some freakin speakers dude 😒

[@ILoveWomen]

Bluetooth speakers

[@AlfaTheBoss]

Love how the "Up next" video on this vid is "Build A Smarthphone Projector With A Shoebox". Even KZbin knows this shit aint worth the money xD

[@mtwmnr]

I know 😂

[@hawazennnnn]

yes but it doesnt work

[@AlfaTheBoss]

banghard Dont have time to try out stuff I dont need anyways

[@dosuchiha9994]

Lol yeah

[@noodle831]

IKR

[@AgentArcadia]

They had to simulate the projection most likely because of the fact that it would look like complete shit if they actually filmed it. Try filming a projection with any cameras of your own, it won't turn out right.

[@AgentArcadia]

***** Yep. Vat19 is a scrupulous company. They wouldn't deceive viewers for a quick buck.

[@rytisbeyond1338]

yup i made it one my self that projection box, like rly crap you barely can see something because it's not enough bright those tablets and phone led's are not enough bright to reflect projection

[@Justinfab101]

Led's? are you 6?... also you're spelling makes you sound 6 (ima just edit this days later sence i was too sick too watch youtube) but i did not see the error in the part where i said you're and not your lol and i dont really care about his spelling but all i really wanted too point out was how he said phone screens use leds btw they don't

[@InfernosReaper]

Justinfab101 Oh no, an apostrophe! The English language is ruined! Oh wait, English is already a terrible mess. Nevermind

[@AgentArcadia]

Justinfab101 OH THE IRONY

[@noahcost]

Im getting this for my birthday cant wait to watch your videos on the projector!

[@iluvlax100]

But what about sound? You can't plug your phone into speakers and it would be muffled because of the box

[@see949]

sssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttttttttttt didnt think of that lol

[@Just10tb]

Bluetooth? Well at that point if you use Bluetooth you might as well just AirPlay it to a TV..l

[@FTWGamerTrue]

Make another hole, and hook it up!

[@iluvsmosh01]

It has a slot to charge your phone or whatever. Connect your phone/ iPod to some speakers and slip the speaker wire where the charger wire comes out. It's not rocket science dude.

[@iluvsmosh01]

I didn't explain that well enough. • Connect your phone/iPod to a speaker/radio or whatever with USB. • Slip the USB through the slot that allows you to connect your charger with your device. • Turn the volume up • Shut the f*ck up • Enjoy the god damn movie.

[@PinkieRose]

won't you have to buy seperate speakers or something for the audio volume?

[@portfoliosandinkproduction5037]

I was expecting a scene where a guy is disappointed about his phone not fitting.

[@Yobarete]

Merry Christmas to Vat19 and everyone!

[@see949]

Happs on the Holly days

[@Grabnok]

Glad somebody is cheery in these comments. I hardly ever see anything nice on Vat19's videos

[@mirby22nd]

GrabnokTheDestroyer Especially this one.

[@Yobarete]

GrabnokTheDestroyer Mirby22nd Thanks lol. I only commented this since it was Christmas. :P But on other days, I don't comment a single bit.

[@WhomisThou]

I like how it says "simulated video projection" at the bottom

[@Just_Amatuer]

Almost $30 for some cardboard and a magnifying glass... I'm sorry... I just don't even...

[@notpublic7878]

And for something not pre-made.

[@Freepepsi42]

Household hacker has a video for the same thing made with $3 worth of material.

[@zolorolo]

Daniel Pryce or just stop being poor and buy a real projectile like seriously guys

[@Zeno-uq7uu]

zolorolo I'd like to see you tell me how to stop being poor.

[@Steven-bg1uj]

Umm get a job maybe...

[@freedomisfree9480]

I actually made one out of a shoe box and an old lense from a telescope. I also took the extra added step of bouncing the image off a small mirror inside the device before sending it to the lense. This way the image wasn't inverted. It only works in complete darkness and you have to either bluetooth the sound to a speaker or make a hole to run a headphone line in.

[@GamezGames19]

This video should instead be a tutorial on how to make one. Who agrees?

[@paulson_huynh]

Ugh, $27???, check out Grant Thompson, with that money I could buy enough food to last me a week

[@see949]

Cup Noodles :D

[@bjam89]

Sebastian Cervantes Makes Films :D no, you can buy real food

[@see949]

bjam89 Water. thats real and you can use it for cup noodles :)

[@bjam89]

[@see949]

idk man, i think i can live off just cereal :)

[@Tacritto]

Wow 22 dollors for a box with a magnifying glass. Good job vat 19

[@Tacritto]

👇

[@jppotato17]

This is actually pretty clever

[@mb-17]

though its been done before XD

[@ojhat]

this actually looks pretty ingenious. and if i did decide to have this, i WOULD buy it from Vat19, and not another company or 'build one myself' because i'm subbed to Vat19, and i appreciate what all goes into their own advertisements, and i'd rather buy from a company that knows how to make good entertaining advertistments than one i could care less about, even if it's more expensive. :D I really might have to look into this one. one of your best products yet.

[@GrumpyIan]

if it says "simulated video projection" at the bottom of the screen don't buy it.

[@ojhat]

your lack of belief in Vat19 disturbs me

[@GrumpyIan]

Ok... Go a head and buy it.... Odds are the best quality for the projector is going to be about 3 feet. So you might as well watch the movie on your tv.

[@AceandDuce]

What he says is true they are ripping you off if you really want one just get a shoebox and a magnifying glass cut a hole on one end and put in the lens. DONE.

[@varholaphotography2181]

Doesn't really work, the image is blurry and I have to use an external speaker so I could hear it, so I burnt it Thanks vat19

[@enoknivlac4148]

Alice Schroeder alice you're a moron

[@see949]

wow, and for $30. I think this is the first time I actually think of buying a product from Vat19 :D

[@pux0rb]

I actually made my own a few years back. Found an old telescope lens and a $1 mirror and BAM--Watching movies with my iPod wasn't so bad anymore.

[@GuyGuysonHimself]

Where would you use a projector? A living room. What happens to be in almost everyone's living room? A tv... Seriously, if you want something more useful, get chrome-cast, it's $25 right now.

[@mirby22nd]

You don't say. *stares at account picture*

[@GuyGuysonHimself]

*stares back through account picture*

[@peach81486]

We use projectors in the backyard while sitting in the hot tub.

[@tannercalhoun240]

u can only cast like KZbin and Netflix on it no showbox in less u have a sumsu note 3 or 4

[@GuyGuysonHimself]

+Tanner Calhoun Not true, if you get the chromecast app, you can cast anything that happens on your device.

[@simranjot1240]

What about the sound is it good or na

[@Neronix17]

na

[@Neronix17]

Chew Kok The cardboard box makes it echo and sound bad in general. It's not the best sound quality from mobile phone speakers as it is.

[@Animal00Kaiser]

That... that is actually one of the best things I've seen on this channel that I will legit use for a long time and not just leave in the storeroom for a long time... I might actually get that

[@BaxterDaTrashball]

Right on Christmas eve

[@JagoFlamingo]

When the video was shown it said 'simulated video projection' yay

[@magmorix3883]

It's extremely hard to record a projection.

[@ricardoguevara7646]

I love the simulated video projection parts

[@Thunderspeed10000]

The product itself is very cool and creative, but the price tag though... is a completely different story. $27 is just off the charts for cardboard and magnifying glass.

[@eltiolavara9]

yup

[@matasyrani799]

I already make one with the shoes box and magnifying glass,its works!!!!

[@kellyhoang90]

I wish you can make one for an iPad! Not trying to be what ever people think I'm trying to be! It just an idea!

[@LordKrillin0]

that is actually really awesome i would love to get one of these

[@lisalee7340]

This is an awesome idea and is eco friendly since it reuses cardboard!! Great job Vat19 as usual

[@hanar1060]

Cardboard is still made from cutting down trees the same way paper is so it's not eco-friendly unless it's recycled cardboard.

[@hanar1060]

***** I know but it doesn't say anywhere that it in the video or even the website that it's recycled cardboard so it probably isn't because people usually make it extra clear if a material or method of making it is eco-friendly.

[@drpepper234]

I have a mini projector and love it this would be a cool gift for one of the kids I watch though who is obsessed with my projector.

[@BaxterDaTrashball]

right before christmas!

[@bensmom709]

How to make a Movie Theater.(for sleepovers if you want) 1. Clear out a room. Can either be big or small (only walls and no shelf’s and all that stuff) 2. Get some comfy seats like beanbags or other stuff. 3. Use the Smartphone Projector 4. Move your microwave to the room. Incase your run out of popcorn. And also have a large amount of microwaveable popcorn beside the microwave. Also have lots of drinks and other snacks. 5. Plug in speakers through the charging port in the Projector 6. enjoy

[@plaindepressed]

Wow $31.99 dollars I could just make one for about $2.00 dollars,just amazing Vat 19 just amazing

[@nadiensyakinaadindra8745]

[@orangeburrito_]

This is a great idea for me, because I don't have a TV!

[@twinkmaster2]

Id like to see how much it acutally makes it bigger and how quality and light strenght actually will be. Not just "simulated video projection"

[@ajmiclette]

Nice job explaining it!

[@SixSided]

I wish some people knew they were spending money on the materials AND the concept of the product.

[@velcrocat8627]

Looks really useful actually. I would defiantly buy it, My only wonder is if the flap that keeps the phone in might not stay put...

You can do this with a magnifing glass and carboard box.

[@jared1238]

It's a coincidence that my sister got this exact thing for Christmas

[@HMV101]

A DIY smartphone projector may be an interesting way of demonstrating a basic optical principle but the resultant image is going to be VERY dim. Resolution won't be real good either, although it's doubtful that the picture will be bright enough to be able to tell.

[@howtoidiotthings8080]

It would be amazing if you could play games while in the projector.

[@thenut7124]

"All you need is cardboard and glass" me: and glue

[@oldVideoGamesChannel]

This is a kind of neat idea, but unfortunately the product just didn't deliver. It is essentially made up of a box and a lens and it uses the light of the phone to project whatever is on the screen of the phone. I used it in a completely dark room with the phone turned up to full brightness. It did result in a viable image about twenty inches diagonally, but the image was dim and slightly blurry (using an iPhone 5s) using my oneplus one phone (which barely fits) I could get a pretty decent picture at twenty inches. I still doubt I would ever really use it though.

[@cottxoncandy774]

When I clicked this video I said "Wow that's cool" oh yeah and I haven't started the video yet, the commercial... on its over

[@ikasu00]

Now I wish I have a bigger apartment.

[@xJailbreak200]

Isnt this idea old and made on youtube before? It was made on grant thompson, right ? Besides it doesnt worth almost 30$ for cardboard and a glass or lens.

[@Shadsterwolf]

wouldn't the brightness need to be all the way up too? I'm not sure how this would actually work since I'm sure they used a real projector to show how it would look. Also you would need an auxiliary cord to connect headphones/stereo speakers.

[@biancaking2502]

U said *if* can fit in the box soo good luck to the ppl who buy this
