Akaso Pico Projector

If you’re looking for a reliable, convenient projector experience look no further that the Akaso pico projector. Not only is its small size easy to store out of sight while not in use, but it also produces incredibly sharp and bright images even during the daylight. Plus you can easily make connections with your devices by utilizing wireless Wi-Fi or one of several ports – USB3, USB-C, and HDMI. No matter what device you're connecting up - this projector will do the job!

I use my iPad to connect to the projector and project the cookie template designs wirelessly onto my cookie shapes. This is definitely my favorite projector for cookies by far.

  • Bright and sharp image, you can view the image in daylight
  • Compact and small design
  • Easy to store away when not in use

Keystone Adjustments for the Pico Projector

To get the images to project squarely into your decorating surface, you do have to modify a few image settings, specifically the keystone adjustments. Keystone settings distort the projection for when the surface isn't perpendicular to the projector. However, in our case, it is. Here are the settings I have on my projector to make sure the images appear square on the tabletop surface.

On the Akaso projector, go into Settings, then Image. Then set the following values:

  • Auto V Keystone: OFF
  • V. Keystone: 0
  • H. Keystone: 0

My Favorite Pico Projector Stand

Need a good mount for your Pico Projector? Look no further than the Arkon Pro Stand — it's sturdy and built to last, with adjustable arm segments that you can clamp to any position. The base is heavy enough to support the projector, and doesn't require any clamping to desks. This allows you to move the entire setup with ease! There are also bonus attachments you can purchase so you can use it with lots of different devices like phones and tablets!
