Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.8 for now.

What customers like about XGODY Gimbal 3 Pro

  • At 0.49 kg it is easy to carry from room to room.
  • Android 14 gives you streaming apps without an extra stick.
  • A 0.6 m minimum throw lets it sit close to the wall.
  • Its 10000:1 contrast gives dark scenes depth.
  • Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 connect to phones and speakers.
  • It can be mounted on a ceiling.

What customers don't like about XGODY Gimbal 3 Pro

  • The picture tops out at 120 inch, which is small for a big living room.
  • 720p resolution looks soft on a large wall.
  • Focus is set by hand, so you adjust it again each time you move it.
  • Its 152 mm height makes it sit tall on a shelf.

Verdict

Light enough for a bag, the XGODY Gimbal 3 Pro weighs 0.49 kg and is 93 mm wide. It is a 720p LCD projector with Android 14 built in, so streaming apps and the remote work straight away. A 1.3:1 throw ratio and a 0.6 m minimum throw let it sit close to the wall, which suits a dorm room. Its 10000:1 contrast gives deep blacks in a dark room. You set focus by hand, which takes a moment but is simple. The picture tops out at 120 inch, and 720p looks soft on a big wall. A 3.5 mm jack lets you plug in headphones. It suits someone who wants a light, simple projector for a spare room or movie nights with the blinds closed.
