DIY Outdoor Movie Theater

[@emmasdad5426]

I have been raking my brain trying to overcome this audio issue and looking at Bluetooth transmitters and all. Then I saw this. Genius solution.

[@sergebretzel2046]

This is perfect during this summers quarantine, thank you!!!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Turned out great! I love how it is all contained in that one "briefcase."

[@MrFixItDIY]

Thanks Bruce!

[@byronchandler5000]

You have really good tips, buddy. You really know how to tackle problems like a professional, and your editing is remarkable, almost Orson Wells level.

[@TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

I have two projectors. One is the LG - PF50KA. I also have the Crenova 6800 and that totally surprised me because I only spent $190 on it. It doesn't have Bluetooth like the LG but it's just as good as the LG otherwise.

[@MrTodd2000]

Nice job. Personally , a dvd player would be plenty for me. Built the pergola last year so this year its time to set up the drive in ( well, walk in ).

[@qigong1001]

Great ideas! You can also use a wireless adapter for your projector and stream from your Phine or computer . If you have good Internet and decent Wi-Fi that’s an option to consider.

[@MrFixItDIY]

That's cool! I'll have to look into that

[@VillaLumina]

We used the ZeboZAP for outdoor movie night for less than $200

[@uncomfortablethepodcast973]

like the video, Iwant to do the same thing in my pool area. How far was ur projector from the screen?

[@HunterMann]

Really great design and great function, some really good tips, for people who don’t have all of these carpentry tools you might check with your city or county library some of them have tools that can be checked out just as you check out a book, you can check out a tool for a day or two to use. I’ve done that a lot since there’s some tools only need for about 20 minutes a month , so it doesn’t make sense buy one

[@russquery]

Does the bottom of your screen move around if windy? Great job.

[@MrFixItDIY]

Can't use it in heavy winds but usually just tie it off to a deck chair and it works great

[@HunterMann]

Great mounting system but once you have your digital projector mounted you should have a safety chain or cable that attaches to the beam up above. This is just a safety so that in case for any reason use of the projector vibrates and loosens the clamp you will have a back up that catches it in mid air.

[@olinney]

Awesome video!! Great ideas!! Just hooked my pull down screen to my pergola but my screen moves a lot with the wind. Any ideas on how to get the screen stationary?

[@nesco7615]

Look great bro. I just bought a projector from Costco. Great idea for the box

[@Farmgirlathart]

Wowser! I need that

[@frankyg7029]

What outdoor projector screen did you use?

[@chivamisfit]

How do you keep the screen from moving in case of wind?

[@elmaddin_guliyev]

Thanks for your tips.

[@stevecrawford333]

rain sideways didnt get projector wet?

[@craigtaylor9597]

Can you leave the screen out all year and is it a water proof screen?

[@MrFixItDIY]

Yes, it's been up since this video was produced. It retracts into a weatherproof housing.

[@TheOmarTech]

it's been over a year since you set this up, just wondering how the pull down screen held up with it being outside? did condensation effect it in any way?

[@MrFixItDIY]

Nope. Only thing that happened was the string that connects to the handle to help you reach it dry rotted

[@bwhite220]

BRILLIANT!

[@anji_tangirala]

I have the same project and It's doing wonderful.

[@josephbrooks9114]

Great project! Have you had any issues with the weight of the brief case assembly or is the grip head able to hang on to it easily?

[@MrFixItDIY]

I have not had any issues. These Grip clamps are heavy duty for film/production equipment so they can hold a lot of weight

[@abarcamary35]

That’s a very good idea especially right now

[@littlesarahautism9787]

I have this Projector omg it is amazing in love with it

[@jodispear6361]

Can you watch it during the day time?

[@lewiskemp8937]

Great job. How much did it wind up costing

[@stevemcintyre6020]

Could you please tell me the make and model of the screen, great job man.

[@davenieves7924]

Hey good job man! That's great. Enjoy it 👍🏼

[@KennyPowdersss55]

Hey. Great idea. How do you get internet out to the yard? I’m planning on doing something similar but worry I won’t be able to watch Netflix, sling, live tv etc. let me know. Thanks!

[@MrFixItDIY]

That's what WiFi is for!

[@KennyPowdersss55]

MrFixIt DIY I figured that but I didn’t know if you had trouble getting a good signal out there. Lol.

[@mark31383]

This is a great idea!!! thanks!

[@aminubature8924]

What's the size of the Pergola?

[@oliviarocha5126]

Awesome set up.yard looks amazing

[@MrsTracyGuichard]

Did they fix the audio out on this device so you cannot hear? I have external Boss speakers to my Computer will they work okay?

[@jodispear6361]

Does your projector work during the day time?

[@MrFixItDIY]

Yes. It's not as bright of course but you can still see it

[@MrFixItDIY]

Thanks for checking out this project video! I hope you enjoyed it. If you have any questions about anything I didn't explain in this video, please leave them in the comments below.

[@omarismail6617]

MrFixItDIY how did you connect the speaker to the DVD player?

[@christieschipper9341]

Was the bose speaker blue tooth OR hardwired?

[@MrFixItDIY]

@@christieschipper9341 It's a bluetooth speaker but I have it connected with a male mini so it's wired. You could do either if the projector can connect via bluetooth

[@Theeverythingman23]

This is awesome! Do you also remove the projector screen or are those things good for outdoors?

[@TheAaronP21]

Is the screen secure during wind?

[@Sebastian__.]

No Pull down screes are not meant for out door.

[@kevinkeddy5633]

Aaron Pullen awesome project. Being that the screen is not secured in the wind do you have any problems with a slight breeze when you’re watching a movie?

[@prestonthomas5399]

This cool. Thank you

[@johnfinnerty2336]

using grip equipment, smart

[@milspic74]

Now just come up with something to get rid of bugs. Maybe a bee keeper suit?

[@omarismail6617]

How did you connect the speakers to the DVD player?

[@MrFixItDIY]

It's one Aux cord plugged into the DVD player

[@omarismail6617]

MrFixItDIY what kind of aux cord?

[@Theeverythingman23]

Awesome! Do you also remove the projector?

[@MrFixItDIY]

What do you mean? The whole box comes down including the projector

[@Theeverythingman23]

MrFixItDIY whoops! I meant the projector screen...is that also removeable or does it stay up all the time. Not sure if those things are water resistant. Thanks!

[@katm41]

Wow 😳

[@timperry8961]

Fleabag! :)

[@gammabouwmarkt]

That looks amazing! What do you think of our outdoor cinema in our latest video?

[@dondees1956]

I found an Epson power lite 955WH 3LED projector at a garage sale for $5. also I found a complete surround sound set of speakers at another garage sale for $15. (Including the power subwoofer) I spent $45. for a Sony stereo receiver , then I needed a cheap little DVD player so again i found that for $5. at a garage sale, as for as my movie screen my son had a motorized 100” screen he gave me that he no longer needed….I had all the speaker wire I needed from another project ….so total expense was $70. and everything is perfect great for out door movies and very portable can set up anywhere….check those garage sales you never know what you might find……

[@k.baller5140]

What idiot sells a brand projector for just $5...

[@flightofapaullo72]

Great video!

[@MrFixItDIY]

Thanks!

[@lmb5374]

Nice job!

[@MrFixItDIY]

Thanks!

[@MrFixItDIY]

Thank you!

[@wlfquestdarkecho]

My issue with this is that the projector should have more room for the air vents.

[@rommelflores52]

Just bought a 150 inch projector screen ($20) made a diy stand with PVC pipes from Home Depot ($18). I have a 3D 1080p Epson projector from my room, ($450) Made my own from under ($500) Since movie theaters are going to be closed for quite a while since covid.

[@6919wally]

Nice job what happened to the f bomb

[@MrFixItDIY]

Still exists. Just don't have it on every video

[@davidellis5135]

100 inch screens cost pittence now wall or ceiling mounted.

[@halcondoradosalomon]

Please let's me know here you buy the project

[@nonsense1337]

Guys, make sure the projector has enough space for the fans to work properly!

[@changetocome100]

Fascinating to watch but I'm basically SOL is what I can deduce

[@finrose9094]

I imagine doing setup on rooftop but worrying to wind

[@Sebastian__.]

The projector in a box with no ventilation is going to kill the projector fast.

[@MrFixItDIY]

It's a wide open box. How is it not ventilated?

[@puertoriconnect4611]

Oh you just install it into your backyard purgala. We all got a purgala right?

[@laurants]

2:37 I have to get a what?!

[@la1930]

👍🤗 ♥️ from 🇨🇦

[@mapleai7139]

hello we have a projector screen stand it is new matalial,are you interested in may be we could make a collab

[@punjab1captain]

700 bucks is nothing for that. Good job

[@amic9173]

Inflation is a bitch…thanks Joe

[@fariyadaf]

you said you spent 700$ total ....the projector is 700$ by itself.....
