New day, new product Xiaomi. The brand has added to its virtual catalog a product that you may not need, but taking into account that it is a gadget that offers touches of Crafts and retro style, probably by now it has already captured your attention. so is the retro diy projector.
How to assemble your own Xiaomi movie projector
The device in question could have little use for your day to day, but you will not deny that it is not attractive. It is a celluloid tape projector like the ones of yesteryear, only in a reduced format and with a very peculiar appearance. The product arrives in the format of laser-cut plates with German technology, and with the help of a simple manual, the user will have to assemble them one by one until the projector is brought to life.
As you can see, it has a very striking appearance that would serve as a decorative object, although it also works and is capable of projecting a movie included, a short film by Charlie Chaplin from 58 frames, very suitable for the occasion. In the event that you had your own roll of film (obviously you are not going to have it), you could at any time place it on the reels and start the projection.
Works without batteries
The concept of crafts goes to such an extent that you will have to generate the energy yourself to make it work. The secret is in a small dynamo that you will have to operate with a crank to give life to a small LED that will illuminate the film. This LED is enough to project the image in a dark room, but don't worry, considering that the film has only 58 frames, you won't have to work too hard.
Say you are looking for technical data, the only thing you will find is that the focal length that allows the equipment to be adjusted is 28 mm, everything else is pure craftsmanship.
A product you can buy on Amazon
As always happens in these Xiaomi releases, the product is not owned by the brand. It is a collaboration with another company, and in this case this projector is the work of Robotime, a company known for its laser-cut wood designs. In its catalog you can find this projector and many other decorative objects, each more striking. The best thing is that its distribution is international, so we can find the projector on Amazon, so you won't have to go to China to the Xiaomi store to get it.
