You can sit the Halo flat on a desk, but if you need to angle it up there’s a flip-out foot at the front, plus there’s a standard tripod screwthread as well.Īt the rear, you get an HDMI input, a USB port and a headphone jack. You get around 2.5m of cable, which should be enough to place the projector far enough back to get a big enough screen. Power is provided via the laptop-sized charging brick, which plugs in at the rear of the projector. You’ll probably want to buy a pouch, as the lens is exposed, so could get scratched without any protection. That said, you can still easily fit this projector in a bag or a suitcase. Compared to the Nebula Capsule Max, this is a bit of a beast. Sure, this model is smaller than a home cinema model, but it’s chunky and big for something you have to carry around (172 x 114 x 114mm, 1.6kg).

Looking like a bookshelf speaker, the XGIMI Halo pushes the boundaries of what you could reasonably consider a portable projector.
