How to Set Up a Projector in Your Garden
1
Pick Your Outdoor Screen Surface
One of the biggest advantages of the Photon Go is flexibility.
You can project onto:
-
A wall or fence
-
A dedicated outdoor projector screen
-
A white sheet, bedsheet, or even a plain white shower curtain
-
Any flat, light-coloured surface
This makes it ideal for quick garden cinema setups without extra equipment.
2
Place the projector (no guesswork required)
This is where the Photon Go stands out.
Thanks to its ultra-short throw design, you simply:
-
Place the projector just a few centimetres from the surface
-
Use a table, bench, a camera tripod or even the ground to get the projector at the right height
-
Power it on
You’ll instantly get a cinema-sized image up to 100 inches from under 25cm away!
Why ultra-short throw matters outdoors:
-
No one walks through the beam
-
No stretching cables across the garden
-
No shadows ruining your movie
