‘Wemax Go Pro’ Laser Projector Bows on Indiegogo at $599

Tech startup Ampula launched a pair of ultra-portable 1080p laser projectors on Indiegogo, including a $599 step-up model it’s marketing as the “Wemax Go Pro,” claiming it renders two to three times the brightness of “competing pocket sized LED-based projectors.” Both projectors, including the $299 Wemax Go, “offer consumers a new way to experience cinema-grade projection whether it's on the go or from the comfort of your home,” said the startup. Ampula is the brainchild of CEO-founder Yajun Zhang, who started the company a little more than a year ago. “We're thrilled to make both revolutionary movie-theater-grade projectors available on Indiegogo this winter at prices that are practical for the on-the-go video enthusiast," he said. His LinkedIn profile lists him as former technical lead of Cisco’s Access and Routing Technology Group. Representatives of action-cam company GoPro didn’t respond to questions about the Wemax Go Pro’s nomenclature.
