Xiaomi Redmi Projector 5 with built-in gimbal and 120-inch screen now official

Xiaomi has quietly rolled out a new home projector that won’t break the bank. The Redmi Projector 5 , announced in China on August 3, 2026, comes with a few tricks that set it apart from other budget models. The most noticeable feature is its metal gimbal stand. Unlike most projectors that sit flat on a table, this one can tilt a full 360 degrees. That means you can point it at a blank wall or even straight up at the ceiling. It is a simple addition, but it gives you more freedom to pick where you want to watch. The picture quality is solid for the price. It outputs a native 1080p resolution and can stretch an image up to 120 inches across. Brightness is rated at 400 CVIA lumens, which is decent for darker rooms, but probably not enough for daytime viewing. It also has a low blue light certification, so your eyes might feel less tired after a long movie. Setting it up is pretty straightforward. The projector uses a laser sensor to handle focus and keystone correction a...

The transmitter remains is small weighing only around 11 grams (without the magnet clip and magnet). The compact design makes it comfortable to wear for long recording sessions. DJI has also added interchangeable magnetic front covers, allowing users to personalize the appearance of the microphone without affecting performance. While this is mostly a cosmetic improvemen...
