Packaging
Our Nebula Capsule 3 Laser came shipped in a plastic bag, while not shipped from Amazon, this is how most Amazon packages ship but it must have had a rough trip because the box came in a little banged up. It comes with a plastic wrap on the outside which is the seal but you can see ours was torn in a few spots. The box itself was similar to the original Nebula Capsule that I took a look at last year only a little larger. The white background of the original is now a black background but the front of the box still has a picture of the projector running. They have lines coming from the lens which kind of hints at the laser, but the model name just above that, the quote below the model name “See the Power of Laster Brightness”, and also the Laser Powered icon down at the bottom all confirm the laser functionality. The Nebula by Anker logo is in the top left corner with a red background and the front also shows that it supports Chromecast, Dolby Audio, and Android TV. On one of the sides, they have a picture of someone holding it which gives you an idea of the size, though the box itself does that as well. The back of the box has a picture of someone using the Nebula Capsule 3 Laser while camping along with a basic specification listing and a list of what is inside of the box. The specifications could include a few more things like the projector's dimensions for example. The last box side just shows the laser projection lines with another laser mention.
The box is then held closed with a magnet and they have a small fabric tab that you can pull on that opens it up. The front and one of the sides all open up and that shows another picture of someone camping using the Nebula Capsule 3 Laser. Then there is a flat black box with a line drawing of the projector on top that you pull out. This has the documentation and some of the accessories inside. Under that, there is a foam tray that has the Nebula Capsule 3 Laser inside, and below that a cardboard box with more accessories inside. I should note that with our projector getting banged around it did smash that bottom box and the projector was sitting in there loose, it really is amazing it wasn’t damaged from what I can see. The foam tray should prob have a bottom to it to now allow enough movement for it to be able to smash the box top in like this.
The top accessory box has foam as well with proper cutouts for each thing inside which is more than the projector got lol. It has a remote, two AAA batteries, and a quick start guide for documentation. The remote has a round bad with a slide-off battery cover and holds you guessed it, two AAA batteries. The remote is 6 and a half inches long and the top has a textured plastic finish. They have avoided the soft touch finish here which is good, that always feels great but then a few years down the line oils in your hands start to break it down. It has the Nebula branding on it and a single status LED up at the top. There is a power button at the top middle with an autofocus button below that and a microphone button for the built-in Google Assistant which is the only part that is printed in color. There is a direction pad with a center select button, Then your standard Android back, menu, and home buttons for navigation. Then at the bottom are volume up and down buttons.
The Nebula Capsule 3 Laser comes with a short USB charging cable with Type-C connections on both ends. It also has a power supply with a flip-out wall AC plug and a Type-C connection on top. The power ratings on it have it at 27 watts for 5-volt charging and 45 watts for 12 or 20-volt charging. It has a model number of PN453I and is made by shenzhen xinspower technology co. ltd. Given that Nebula is an Anker brand and I saw the same thing with other Anker sub-brands it always amazes me that you don’t see Anker chargers and cables being used. They are saving money going with a cheaper quality charger but at 45 watts this still has some juice behind it.
