10 Best Selling Carousel Slide Projectors
Carousel Slide Projectors Buying Guide
What should you look for when shopping for a carousel slide projector of your own? We’ll walk you through the various aspects of our Buying Guide.
1. Magnifying Power
A carousel slide projector must offer great magnification power to best show your images. Some slide projectors boast 4X or 6X magnification, so when your slide is inserted into the projector’s carousel or magazine it enlarges your image to a bigger size for enhanced viewing pleasure.
2. Sharpness
No matter if your carousel slide projector can display your images in 3X or 4X magnification, if the images lack clarity, focus, sharpness, or color, it won’t be as satisfying to view.
3. Usability
Is your carousel slide projector easy to operate? Does it only accept one slide at a time, or can you load a tray of slides through a carousel or magazine? Another consideration is the controls of the slide projector: most slide projectors are sold with remote controls to make it easier and more convenient to switch through loads of slides.
4. Portability
These machines were built to be portable. Carrying from room to room, house to house, people shared their slides and enjoyed slide shows. While the actual slide projectors are compact, the carousel and magazines are usually as large as the slide projectors themselves. We mention this only because users would expect them to be as portable as today’s electronic equipment.
5. Light Source
One of the most important aspects of a carousel slide projector is its light source. The light source determines how bright (and vibrant the colors will be) when the image is displayed on a screen or wall. A lamp or light bulb shines the image onto the screen or wall, but more modern slide projectors’ bulbs have been replaced with high-powered LED lights.
