Cinemin Swivel Lets You Share You Smartphone Video

It seems that movies and TV shows are quickly moving from being viewed on a fixed TV to that of mobile devices. This has been shifting for several years now and with the expansion of 4G LTE speeds to mobile devices, the time for the shift has come. The problem becomes how to share what you are watching. A smartphone is pretty good for single person viewing, but when there are others to share what you are watching with, the ability for all to see drops quickly. That is where the small projection devices come in to have value for sharing. The Cinemin Swivel is part of the pocket size projection devices which are growing in popularity.

The Cinemin Swivel from WowWee is one of those small projection devices turning your personal mobile device for watching movies into a shared mobile device for watching movies. And as the name implies, you can swivel it to project the picture upwards. The Cinemin Swivel can put out a picture on a wall from 8 inches up to 50 inches, though they claim higher. Or on the ceiling so you can watch a movie while laying in bed. It is recommended that you keep it under 50 inches so that you get good clarity. And you need to do this in a darkened room for best results.

This is very portable with a size of 5 inches by 3 inches by 8.5 inches with a weight of 6.4 ounce. Primarily designed to work with the iPhone or iPod, there is a 3.5 mm AV cable connection you can connect with other devices for an extra cost. While the Cinemin Swivel looks to be a great device, it not going to show HD movies. But, with 480 by 320 resolution, it should meet your needs given its small size.

The Cinemin Swivel comes with an included battery for when you are not connected to a power outlet. This gives you over 2 hours to show your movies and TV shows that you are streaming to your smartphone. If you are watching a movie longer than 2 hours without power, you are not going to make it. The Cinemin Swivel looks to be a great portable device for showing short presentations for business settings.

You can get the Cinemin Swivel from Amazon for $199.99.
