The Best Tech for Outdoor Movie Nights

BY Micaela July 28, 2021

Viewing the Olympics, your favorite TV shows, or streaming movies in your backyard is easier than ever because there are many great options on an affordable budget. We have you covered with this product list for your DIY backyard viewing night, from a wifi enabled mini projector that syncs with your smartphone to a kettle popcorn maker to whip up hot, fresh treats.

Wireless Mini Projector

A spectacular outdoor viewing experience with a crisp picture begins with a versatile projector that’s easy to set up in your backyard. Check to see if the projector you are considering can sync with your smartphone or tablet and whether it’s compatible with TV Sticks, PS4, HDMI, VGA, TF, AV, and USB. On a budget? You can use a white sheet as a screen. Or, if you want your viewing experience to be closer to the theatre, search for a projector screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio, just like the cinema.

Splash Resistant Outdoor Speakers

If your backyard landscape includes a pool, you may want to think about a pool trolley speaker because you can roll these portable speakers out to the deck. Check to make sure they are IPX4-rated for splash resistance, and they have a 10-inch driver, and onboard digital sound processing presets for high-quality sound. The multicolored lighting and mic echo effects are super fun too!

Frozen Concoction Maker

From shave ice to pitchers full of tropics-inspired party drinks, a 400-watt blender with a 36-ounce blender jar is an easy-to-use machine that lets you easily create cool outdoor treats this summer. The automatic shave’ n blend cycle mixes the right proportion of ice with ingredients, or you can go for the manual blend only/shave only cycles. Once you have mixed up your concoction, you just pop open the hatch and pour your treats into a perfect backyard-watching experience.

Kettle Popcorn Maker

You can’t have an outdoor viewing experience without hot, fresh popcorn. Check out a big, stainless steel kettle with a built-in stirring system to pop up to 10 cups of popcorn per batch. Look for a pull-out popcorn tray that lets you quickly access popcorn. Homemade popcorn has never tasted so good!

Rolling Beverage Cooler

With a super-sized capacity of 100 cans, the rolling party cooler makes entertaining a blast! The split-top lid, attached bottle opener, and cap catcher are convenient. The easy-grip handles and wheeled legs make maneuvering from inside your home to your backyard a total breeze.
