I’ve been testing portable projectors for a bunch of different use cases, but few, if any, have come close to the complete package offered by the XGIMI MoGo 3 Pro. It’s my favorite of the lot, and right now, you can get a sweet bundle with the XGIMI MoGo 3 Pro portable projector and the PowerBase Stand (which you do honestly need), a carrying case, and an optical filter for $399, down from $619.97.

If you don’t have a projector screen, you can get this bundle instead, which includes the projector, PowerBase Stand, and a 70-inch outdoor screen for just $69 more (or get the original bundle and buy your own screen separately). Whichever you choose, you’ll be scoring an all-time low price, according to price-tracking tools.

The projector has two ports—a USB and a micro HDMI—so you can project from a laptop or phone, or you can simply screen mirror from your devices, since it uses the Google TV OS. Also, since the projector is “smart,” it already comes with the typical apps like Netflix, YouTube, Amazon, and you can download more from the Google Play Store. With 450 lumens and 1080p, it’s best used in dark rooms, but you can get away with some ambient light (that’s how I use it in my backyard).

Where this projector truly shines is with the auto keystone focus feature. If you move it anywhere, it’ll autocorrect to make the image look its best, regardless of where you set it up. It’s very user-friendly and made to be moved around. It also comes with a powerful 5W Harman Kardon speaker, which performs about on par with an Echo Dot.

One caveat: This projector has no internal battery, which is a huge bummer. You’d need to use a portable charger, plug it into an outlet—or, if you’re getting it with the bundle, the PowerBase Stand will deliver 2.5 hours of battery life and truly make it a portable projector. If you plan to use it mostly indoors, you can plug it into a wall and go for just the projector for $337 to save some money.
