● DAY 01
Portable projectors have been doing the rounds for years, but it feels like the tech world has gone gaga for ’em all of a sudden. Yet most new models seem to have ignored the ‘portable’ bit – relying on mains power to get their shine on. So when the Xgimi MoGo 4 arrived promising to fix the biggest barrier to mobile movie magic, my interest was piqued.
The successor to the MoGo 3 Pro has a battery built in, so it doesn’t rely on accessories or optional extras to cut the cord. It’s also been given a styling upgrade plus more convenient connectivity, slicker controls, and a fun set of filters that let it double as an ambient light show. Quite the feature set for something that’s barely bigger than a venti frappuccino (to use Starbucks’ barista lingo).
