Small, Portable, and Well-Designed

The size and agility of the projector is pretty amazing; users can actually fit the projector in their pocket. Weighing only 8.3 ounces and measuring just 4.1 in x 4.1 in x 0.8 in, users can carry the nimble projector on-the-go and display their photos, videos, documents, or even online web pages in any setting. Rayo has added 4GB if internal memory for easy storage of important material.

But don’t stray too far from a charger, the projector only has two hours of running time. The Rayo S1 also has built-in charging port for smartphones and tablet, but again, watch that battery life. A tripod is included, and Rayo is offering a separate, foldable screen to properly present all content.

Connect All Devices

Another selling point of the product is the convenience of connectivity. Depending on the content, users can connect via WiFi, Bluetooth, Canon Camera Connect App, or USB. If displaying an online portfolio, users can connect to WiFi. If playing the sound from a movie, users can connect to Bluetooth speakers. If showing off the latest shots, users can connect their Canon cameras directly with the Canon Camera Connect App. If users prefer hardlining, a USB port is available. All of these features are easy-to-use and navigate thanks to the Smart Touch Pad.
