Thinking of buying this mostly for outdoor movies for 10 to 30 people. Connect to a computer. Any thoughts or better alternatives?

Does this have a battery pack or is it exclusively powered by wall electricity?

I think this would work fine for playing movies outdoors. I use it mostly for Zumba (indoors), but I have used it outdoors and it still plenty loud. I connect to my laptop. You just need a aux cable (not included). It is kind of heavy, so if you have to carry it long distances, I would pick up a luggage cart so you can pull it.

Would work fine. I D-Jayed a wedding with 200 people with it. Put it in a suitcase with other equipment and then on a plane to Philadelphia. It worked great. Would be just fine for your venue. Compact and fairly powerful. I used a laptop for the music.

I've used this for recitals in a large venue for over 300 people and it was flawless with a laptop.

I'm not a tech geek either (or else I would have done more research before purchasing). However, even though this system seems more meant for speaker presentations, it worked so well for filming. I did have to buy an adapter and a long cable to hook up to the receiver. I bought an 18 foot cable, so the two extra items ran me around $46.00. Well worth it though. The sound quality was almost too good (because I could pick up conversations going on down the hall). Hope this helps.

The camera would be fine although someone needs to man the remote to move it as appropriate. The microphone would not work well at that distance, I ended up using a MXL AC-404 (from Amazon) and it works flawlessly. I also route the sound out of this to portable speaker system if the crowd is more than 10-15 people, otherwise the built in speaker is fine. Our tech club has used this to webcast large meetings (40-60 people) in a large multi-purpose room (2000sf) and using the other microphone and the speaker output, it makes for a very professional presentation. In a much smaller venue, the device itself would be sufficient.

I had it set up for live video's, but had to have an IT guy set it up. I my opinion it is to difficult for the average computer user to do himself. The camera itself worked for a couple of weeks and then quit altogether.

I would say 80 is really pushing it. With a crowd that big, it'll be difficult to overcome the crowd noise. And the area needed for a party that size will probably be a bit beyond the range of what this system can deliver. The system is geared more towards home theater, so for your specific needs I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

Only if you have some where to plug it in. I'm very dissatisfied with mine..all the wires from base monitor to extra monitor to watch is aggravating, plus it takes forever for movie to load. You need to buy a portable DVD Player.. these has to be plugged up to house or vehicle.

Oh, yes. I run it with mine doing seminars or at home for movies as well. I did buy an adaptor for my Mac to run it.

I use it and I love it. I actually think it sounds better then an imax theater when watching movies. But depends on the size and shape of room or area its in.

This projector is not a good quality projector. Perhaps, it's good for its size. But I would only use for temporary solution or for convenience, like when you travel and you don't want to carry a large projector. If you intend to use a projector for watching movies regularly at home, then I suggest you get a higher quality projector.

Yes, it is an excellent choice for outdoor movies. That is what I use it for.On Friday nights, I set mine up with a Blu-ray player. And I use a combo (amp/speaker) bass guitar amp for big, loud sound.

I'm not sure I understant the question, if you are asking if the unit will opperate for a 1 hour presentation the answer is yes. I use it for several differant types of presentations, some last as long at 2 1/2 hours, some as short at 15 min. I have used to to show outdoor movies as well. The only problem is, you can't run MS programs with out the computer, movies and videos will run on a memory stick.

We purchased this with a regular projector that hooks up to our laptop. We used regular computer speakers and it worked out great!

Yes, we purchased this last year and it still performs well. We use it to watch movies outdoors and the picture is very clear and very large.The volume is not great but you can add a speaker system to it if you'll use it outdoors. It's very easy to use and we've enjoyed it.

I would not recommend it for outdoor use. I would suggest something simpler where you could just lay out if you want something for outdoors. This takes time to connect and may not handle weather.

Yes, you can hook it up to a DVD player or computer and show movies with it with reasonably good picture quality, but sound may well be inadequate unless you have other speakers.

I think there are better alternatives for your hobby, I am using this one for sports and sometimes for inside meetings that I record. Hope to be helpful. Good luck ;)

It's a great little speaker for a group up to maybe 10 people, but on the beach with that many people I think you would be really disapointed with the performance. Might try going to a Best Buy or something and listen to a more powerful bluetooth speaker, and then buy on amazon.
