What Makes It Uncommon

Scrolling and swiping through photos has become part of everyday life—even for little ones—but there’s still something magical about seeing big pictures light up the night. This petite projector lets kids shine family pics and other favorite snapshots onto just about any surface using interchangeable reels, including a custom version you can make just for them.

  • Super-simple to operate: Just switch on the light; project it onto a flat, horizontal surface; slide a reel into the top slot; and rotate it to cycle through photos.
  • Built to be small and sturdy enough for kids to handle.
  • Includes four premade image reels (Dinos, Space, Ocean, and Savannah) and a redemption code to go online and upload eight of your own photos for a custom reel.
  • For ages 3+.
  • Box and projector made in China. Reels made in San Francisco.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD – Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.

Terrible Product - Misleading Description

This item is extremely disappointing. It is cheaply made, hard to operate (i.e. to focus you have to put your hand in front of the lighted photo so there is no way to see if focusing is working) and way too small for a 3 year old to operate and adjust. Also, why is not the "custom" reel included instead of having to order it separately for more money?!! I believe this company should remove this item to avoid continuing horrible reviews. I wish I had read the reviews prior to ordering. This has the feel of a SCAM.

Fun product! Here are my tips...

I purchased this as stocking stuffers for my kids (15,12,10) this year -- each with their own custom reel that I made in advance. They really enjoyed the toy and immediately ran to our bathroom (where it could be dark) to see what was on the reels. They had fun 'mastering' the toy to find focus points and we had interesting discussions about film and what existed before iPhone cameras! Here are my tips: 1) Follow the guidelines on their website to pick a suitable photo. 2) Check your images before submitting. After i uploaded my pics, i double checked. I noticed the site cropped some of the images a bit close, but i could adjust them. 3) REMEMBER TO FOCUS: I see reviews talking about blurry images. They are right that it is blurry when you first put in the disk, but when you focus the lens (mine was a little stiff at first then loosened up). FWIW -- I reached out directly to the manufacturer on their website with some question and they were super helpful and responsive.


Yikes

Straight in the bin. This is a teeny tiny projector with extremely fuzzy images of a few animals. It's something you would give away in a birthday party swag bag, just small, chintzy plastic and some carousels that are barely identifiable. The description says custom, as if there was a way you could put in your own slides. You cannot. This is why landfills are overfilled and people dislike companies with overpriced trash.

Response from merchant

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We’re sorry to hear that the projector didn’t meet your expectations. We hear great feedback about this item, I’m sorry that it wasn’t a great fit for your recipient. To clarify, the item includes four premade image reels (Dinos, Space, Ocean, and Savannah), as well as a redemption code to upload eight of your own photos and create a custom reel. We apologize for any confusion regarding this. We appreciate your feedback and will pass it along to our team to ensure better clarity moving forward.


Super cute, but the images are blurry

This little projector is really cute and a fun idea, but the images are so blurry that you can barely tell what they are (for both the standard and personalized reels). I really wish the images were clearer, because the idea is really fun, and it's easy to add the personalized reel (plus, I was impressed with how quickly they got the personalized reel to me).

Response from merchant

We’re sorry to hear this wasn’t received in excellent condition. We found we had issues with a small selection of these in our inventory, and our team has taken steps to correct that. We want to make this right; we’ve reached out directly to offer assistance.


Maybe Defective?

Item is cute and a bit tiny to use but this is a lot of fun. The projections can be close with easily recognized and clear images. Looking forward to sending for the custom reel as I would love to give this to commemorate a special occasion or event. My grandson loved the size and the animal images - to him it's magic!


Great for all ages

My review: This product is really cute & such a fun idea for a customized gift!! It so happened that people of different age groups in my family saw it, and I think it's safe to say they were in as much awe as each other. Functionality is also really good because too many clicks didn't affect the button!


Slide-show for stuffed animals

I got this for my daughter who had a great time using the palm-sized projector to put on a slideshow for her stuffy sleepover. She wanted to take photos with all her stuffed animals then use the coupon to create a custom reel featuring these pictures. Super cute idea!


First Projector Fun for Littles

The Mini Projector is a hit with my three young children. They enjoy seeing images of dinosaurs, space and animals. It was fun for them to be in control of the object. For the price, the quality is good. What's neat is you could create your own custom reel online! The only issue we had was that some of the images appeared a bit blurry.


Have two for my daughters- will be buying more for gifts!

Our daughter was having trouble staying asleep at night and this helped tremendously. We have a few reels of family photos that she can flip through while falling asleep and it keeps her occupied and happy in her bed. It is a really sweet gift! Will definitely be buying more for nieces and nephews :)


Precious Palm Sized Projector!

Ahhh this was such a cute little toy for bedtime with kiddo. It's an itty bitty toddler sized projector that "magically" (to a kid) projects photos on the wall or wherever they point it. I noticed my kid always wanted to look at photos from mom and dads wedding on our phone but I don't love screens at bedtime, so instead now we turn off the lights and look at the wedding pics as a "storytime" before bed! Just be warned you need to order your own photo reel - it's free because there is a gift code in the box but you have to go on the company's website, upload your pics and then wait for the reel to ship your way. So it's not something to play with right out of the box, but still a super sweet sentimental stocking stuffer!

Can the reels for the photo flashlight be used with the mini projector?

Verified reply from Sofia

Hello! Thank you for your question. Indeed, these reels are compatible with both the Photo Flashlight and the miniProjector. We hope this helps!


What is the power source? Is it renewable? How long do the custom reels take to produce and ship? Do you have recommendations for the custom images for best results- do they need to be a simple object vs a group of people or landscape with detail? Thank you.

Verified reply from Iriscelis

The Mini Projector uses button batteries and includes four premade image reels and a redemption code to go online and upload eight of your own photos for a custom reel. Photos can be uploaded on the maker's site listed with the redemption code. Production/shipping time frames as well as image requirements will be detailed on their site.
