It seems that certain types of low-tech entertainment are insufficient in holding the attention of modern man, making inventions like the Handy Beam such valuable items for off-the-grid adventures. This is a portable cordless lamp that can be connected to your smartphone or your tablet in order to project video files into a large format.
Just point the funnel-shaped illuminator towards the side of your tent or your camper van wall and you'll have yourself a movie screen. You can adjust the size of the visual and the volume of the audio with the help of dials on the base. You can easily watch your favorite TV shows and films in the wilderness; however, if you're satisfied with books, games and conversations, the Handy Beam by Choi Eunji, Yeom Ilsoo and Lee Nari can be used simply as a lantern or a flashlight.
