3D Hologram Fan,Hologram Projector Missyou Holographic Led Ceiling Skylight for Shop,Bar,Casino,Party Advertising Display (17.7 inch Four Leaves HD ( App with WiFi))
This is great for displaying animated renders or short video clips. Business owners will get their money’s worth here, though the lack of a safety grill is questionable given how fast it spins. It’s super easy to install though with the included wall mount (just screw into studs).
I tested this out with a jellyfish encoded video and a 3D video game character animation. Videos with a black background work best especially with 3d renders. Takes a standard microsd card. The instructions for install were fairly straight forward but the instructions for using the actual program used to encode videos to the acceptable format weren’t.
This is just the first one I’ve bought and I’m ordering more. I tried to get creative so I mounted it on my car and it was an instant hit! People love it!
This is a really great product. The seller is awesome, reply to you right away with any questions you may have. Send me tons of videos. Will buy again and again from this selle
Well worth the price, and customer service is beyond amazing.Very satisfied with the product and company and will continue to use and recommend to everyone who is looking into using this type of display .
I was a little hesitant to buy this but Im glad to make the choice to buy it. It came in with everything on the pictures and it works great. I have questions about the instructions and the seller was very helpful and quick to response. I would recommend if you’re looking for something cool and new.
Even though there are room for improvements in details in programming and in manuals, this is a great product and does what it says. Excellent support and communication. 5 star all the way.
The fan works great once set uphowever, I am a computer tech and I also have spent many years in graphics. I was able to figure out the conversion software and can create my own custom graphics and then convert the mp4s to the required bin file. I don’t believe most would be able to figure out these processes as easy as I did. But if all you need is to use the videos that are available for download and not need customized graphics converted and loadedit should be easy enough for most people.
This is a very vibrant effect, great for advertising in your store. Easy to upload new images and the sets of ready made videos for the seasons are awesome. A learning curve is there, but it is not too bad.
The products price was good and I was using this for an advertisement at a gasoline station. The only problem was to change the images of the device. The software was hard to understand to program a gif file. But a great product great resolution and the quality and the packaging was excellent deliver time was also a+
I really enjoy this product, I had a bit of trouble setting it up and they were nothing but helpful on their end. Gets a lot of head turns and wow effect!
Yeah I decided to try this out for a doctor strange cosplay. Although I don’t have the costume complete or even started past this point I did load up some files for the fan to display and it worked perfectly. This looks so good people are amazed and don’t even understand what’s happening at first. Really great product would definitely recommend.
I couldn’t find the TF card in the fan. I emailed and received a response back in almost no time. This morning I’ve been emailing with customer support back and forth as quickly as though we were on an instant messenger. I haven’t dealt with such kind, patient, and immediate customer service in a very long time.
This fan is going up in our office and after giving myself a little bit of time to learn how to use it correctly, I’d absolutely buy this again and I’d recommend to anyone looking for a hologram fan to go with this one.
This is a simple and easy to use product. The fan works well.
As you will expect at this price point the features are limited and the loading of videos etc is via a micro sd card which is included with purchase.
The image quality in daylight is very good and in darker conditions even better.
Overall its a great product that we are using to engage people who see it.
This was a great purchase and the communication was very prompt and easy. The fan is easy to put together and the direction and instructions are easy to follow. They even have a video for it. I got this for trade show purposes and the seller even helped take our logo and create the 3D hologram for it. Outstanding and highly recommend it!
This product is so easy to install and use that I literally had it up and running in my storefront within two hours of its arrival. I’m already seeing an increase in foot traffic and purchases thanks to this unique display. I will def purchase more items from this company in the future.
There is a lot of reasons I could probably download this to four or even 3.5 stars but I got to say ultimately for the price you’re paying you are getting a lot of awesome it’s cool it’s very cool and comparatively to other things in this price range you aren’t going to get much now I do have a few complaints a the screws are slightly too big and the driver they gave you to install them they got tore up the app in the packaging doesn’t actually link and it’s not a secure Android app I did get a contact with their people and they sent me a new link very quickly like within a half an hour at 9:00 at night so I’m very appreciative of that but ultimately it’s cool it’s so cool and worth every damn Penny even just the default graphics that come with it as soon as you get it going you’re like all right you know what I do think I have one blown LED in it but I am thoroughly satisfied and it’s totally worth every penny that I put into it and it’s cool it’s just so cool
Wish I would have bought a bigger size but even the 17.7″ looks amazing. Literally everyone that walks by it stops and stares for a few minutes. Their support is amazing and responds within minutes.
Easy setup. Was able to add my own videos and images easily. Looks impressive. It does make more noise than I would like but it is in my arcade room and isn’t a problem there. May make a plexi cover for it but it is high up on the wall so not urgent.
12.5 inches
This one is entry level hologram fan.
it is low profile thus makes it easy placement.
The softwere need bit more touch up and work done for general public .
Other then that it is a low price starting point so dont expect 1080p or 720p quility.
Over all great product.
Steps:
On the side of the fan thre is a microSD card .
Take the card out and place in you pc using the card readed provied in the box
Open the sd card under my computer
Look in the folders and find (3Ds-Player V…..) click in it and open the application 3DS -Player
On the top right next to the wifi icon there is a drop down menue in chinease ( click and chose SD-224) this works for 12.5 inch fan
Click on file Encode and chose the file form you pc that you wnat to upload
Then it will ask you where you want to save it …( you can save it in the same micro sd card )
Finally click on start encode .
Thats all .
Overall it is a great product.
Here is a little detail about the product.
I have the 17.7 inches and well as the 12. 6 inches.
17.7 inches:
510 lamp beads- If you price it only on beads then missyou product is the better choice ( example $199/520 beads=0.38 per beads)
There are other brand that offer up to 1000 beads and the picture quality would be much better since its more beads but they charge upwards of 0.60 to 0.70 per beads. So for starting point and price missyou would be a better choice.
I wanted to buy the 20.5 since its more beads but the motor barrel is longer.
17.5 the back barrel is about 1.93 inch
20.5 the back barrel is about 4 inch ( this would stick out too much for my design )
=========HOW TO USE 17.5========
1) Once you assemble fan blade A to A and B to B the product take out the micro sd card form the fan and put it in to you PC.
2) look for @ windows app.exe and open it
3) for 17.5 click on 45-F4
4) Click on Decode Video
5) select the file picture or video form you PC that you want to display / decode to bin format.
6) Put a name for your file and click COMMON.
7) Use you mouse wheel for zoom in or out the center point which will be displayed on the fan.
8) Click on Start Decoding
9) Once finished close the application and you should see a BIN file on you desktop with the name that you put.
10) Grab that file and put it in the SD card where all the other Bin files are.
11) SAFELY remove the micro Sd card and put back in to the fan.
Seller response time is very quick .
I will update this review for the longevity of the product in few month.
I will be using it every day 8 hours per day
Good Luck.
after two weeks of trying to figure this machine out and at my limit and through a series of nasty emails the company finally contacted me about my issues and concerns. admittedly i am not a whiz with a computer
and my patience is short with computer driven devices. so when the product arrived and did not work correctly i was quick to jump to the worst. but to my relief a man in there customer service department by the name Delin Hou was patient and knowlegeable enough to point out some small probloms that really wernt problems at all just some mis understandings on my part of a new machine it is because of him that i recomend this product because if it wernt for him this would be a whole differnt review thank you delin hou
The seller went above and beyond to satisfy our needs. We were very impressed with the level of customer service and patience to deal with our needs. Thank you for great customer service and hologram fan. We purchased the biggest fan they had
Great product for the cost! The image in person looks seamless, while the cell phone video makes it look choppy.
The first fan that I got, when I popped out the Micro SD card to download the software, then I couldn’t get the card back in. I sent a message to the vendor, and was advised to try it a few more times and they would replace it if that didn’t work. I printed a return label with Amazon to drop it off at Kohl’s and then contacted the vendor who said they would have just shipped me another one, but it was easy to drop it off at Kohl’s anyways. I got a replacement a couple of days later which works great. The vendor gave me a link to a large library of 3d videos, which is cool.
The other caveat for the 16.5 inch fan is that if you want to play your own images/videos, you have to convert them to .bin files using the software included on the micro SD card. You open 3Ds-Player, select a model (I always selected SD-224, not sure if it matters) and then click on File Encode. You open the image or video you want to display and then you re-name it, and after re-naming it, a red circle appears. You center it where you want, and then click Start Encode. This is the least intuitive step, as it’s the same place you clicked before. Then you move this .bin file to the micro SD card and put it back into the fan. It looks like all the larger models have a built-in WiFi and an associated app, so you don’t need to remove the micro SD card at all.
I bought a Hologram fan for my company and it works perfectly. I had some problems with video uploading at first, but after contacting customer care, the problem was resolved and they responded quickly. I contacted them via their official Instagram account, and they provided me with a whole library of the gifted videos.
Does what it says it does! Worked right out of the box. It came with a class u3 tf card for the files- high speed, good quality, nice surprise. Already ordered a bigger high def one! Seller even reached out to let me know they have more 3d files for use- very cool!
The only issue I had at all was installing the blades as they fit so perfectly together. There was a perfect angle where it just fit perfectly and easily so be patient it’s easy once that angle is achieved. Onto the product I had my doubts and was willing to take a chance on the four blade unit for better resolution possibly.
This product is amazing. It’s very easy to use and has many built in options via Phone app to not only play built in videos but to create some of your own especially 3d text with many font and color options. obviously other more elaborate videos will be programmed on my pc but out of the box and iphone app will surely impress any techie types. ***** stars indeed truly a welcomed surprise.
I got the 17 inch wifi version. The picture is amazing and you can easily add any custom images/videos (family videos, character loops, banners, etc.) to display through the app. There is a whirring sound, but I’m usually playing music so I don’t notice it at all. Since it is a FAN, it helps circulate air in my room, which is nice. I don’t regret buying it at all, and it truly emits a wow factor when it comes to livening up your space. With that said, I do have three very minor gripes (because no product is perfect). I’ll start with the smallest and move to the biggest issue. First off, putting it together was simple, but the tiny screw-threading was horrible and I was scared I’d crack the blades as I tightened. Secondly (and this may just be a problem with my own fan) the spinning base seems to have a very slight wobble that kinda makes full images shake. I though it was because of blade imbalance due to loose/offset screws, but it seems like the cap where the blades fix to wasn’t centered properly, which is unfortunate. You can barely tell however, and can’t at all when displaying pics/videos that have a black border. Lastly, in order to remotely turn it on, I have to tediously link my phone to the devices wifi. I should have gotten the blutooth version so that I’m not constantly switching from my router. With all that said, I really love it. *FYI, my recording really brightens up what I’m actually seeing. In person, the colors are super vivid*
I bought this just to see what I could do with it, I wanted to set it up with some of my figurines as a changing back drop. However it was bigger than I expected and didn’t fit where I wanted it so I am working on getting the software down its kind of touchy and doesn’t like some of the videos I tried.
However the seller does live up to the promise of 100’s of videos.
Works great, everyone loves it. The wifi range is very low, however and I have great difficulty connecting to it from the pc in the next room. Also the unit will overheat and flicker/stutter before shutting down if left on for more than two hours. This surprised me, as you would think that the spinning motion would have been used to implement some sort of cooling mechanism into the electronics. It also means that you can’t really use this for a display in a business, at least not constantly.
akes a good deal of “learning” as the instructions are pretty terrible. it says its wifi but it isnt (or its not working) and i am not sure why you’d download the software as i dont see how to make that work for this if there is no wifi. got a picture to work but not sure how to make 3d image of our logo without having someone make one. we used powerpoint with black background and slide animations and transitions which made this work pretty good as long as you use larger fonts. wish there was a way to open their images and add words; maybe there is but again, terrible instructions.
5 stars came early, exactly as shown and described it was SUPER EASY to understand and run thr software on my windows 10 laptop. Easily add any black screen backdrop mobie by simply going into the program converter and clicking decode select your video. Crop it to a certain spot or full size. Finalize. Pop SD card into fan. Plug it in and Boom. It even does good quality Movies. I put the marvel studios intro 2021 on it and it looked great.
Also contrary to people above this fan is practically dead quiet. You can hold it in your hand, and the instructions were easy to follow and my 12 year old was able to do it. So those saying it’s super loud or hard to figure out…you just have very poor computer skills. Pay them no mind folks.
Also since it hasn’t said “DELIVERED” YET ON THIS AND MY OTHER PRODUCT which is because the driver probably didn’t remember to tell Amazon I’m not sure but as you can see from pic this is a CONFIRMED PURCHASE review.
Good 3d pictures. Adding and removing files is very easy. Great customer service. Very short email response time. I will be ordering from this seller again.
5 stars is what i wanted to give it but just for the simple reason it doesn’t have a on off switch. So its a plug it in and when you want it off you have to unplug it. It really does look like holograms just jave to have the background black… i love it i make my own videos now ….a big hit is the doctor strange shield that i made for my son.
I need help with the software. It doesnt connect at all which means Im stuck with the same hologram videos which is BIN only.
Will update if I get a reply…
Update…
Micro SD was already in the motor blade part. I didnt know, I thought it was missing. Just connect through their WiFi through your phone. On the PC app, click Decode & its simple from here & now. I use GIFs alot. Hologram uses BIN Files.
Thanx Monky for the fast email replies & the help you gave me.
This was purchased as a gift and as someone who is new to this kind of holographic technology, was cautious about the purchase. After receiving and testing, was pleasantly suprrised by the high quality of the product build as well as it’s ready to use status. Packaging was also nice and shipping time was excellent. The included manual is a bit challenging given that it’s more or less an akward translation of its original language, but with a bit of common sense, it’s nearly usable instructions for the average modern user. The product itself is entry level SD, not the pricier HD model, so the holographic visuals are correspondingly not as sharp in person as one would have hoped, but nevertheless the technology still impresses for newcomers like myself, and makes for an equally impressive gift for your tech savvy friends/family. All in all, a welcome gadget to technophiles on a budget.
The instructions are in another language but it’s so simple to assemble a first grader could do it. There are four blades, each labeled A or B and they go into place diagonally from each other then you use the included screws to secure the blades to the base. That’s it. Takes all of 5 min. It’s beyond worth it to get the wifi version so you can add pics/vids straight from your phone no computer needed. Comes with some vids already preloaded but easy to upload or create more directly in the app. App is not hard to find in app store, plus they give you a qr code that takes you straight to the app on iOS or Android.
If you are looking for a fun, unique way to advertise this is definitely it. So glad I bought this instead of a banner.
Also unless you are mounting it to a wall you’ll need to purchase a stand separately.
Upon opening the package the product did not seem to meet my expectations. But once I got it out and assembled it functioned very well and is actually as cool to use as I had hoped it would be. It is a little expensive but I am not dissatisfied in the money I spent.
I just love this display! Everyone who sees it is mesmerized by it. The video encoding/conversion software is pretty easy to use once you watch the included instructional videos (although many of the buttons need better english labels and some explanation as to their function).
[To the manufacturer: I can help with translating/rewriting the instructions in more understandable & proper English if you are interested.]
I bought this for my son as one of his gifts for Hanukkah. I’ve tested this thing out and it is amazing. Picture quality is excellent, bright vibrant colors, fan functions smoothly with barely any sound coming from it. Not only good for advertising but just as good for a game room, man cave, or kids bedroom. You can upload video, images of your choice which is an awesome feature to this fan.. Remember to take safety measures because you do not want to touch this thing while in operation you just might lose a finger or two. Overall great buy happy with this purchase and I know my son will be happy too.
I will update my review in the future to reflect on the wear of the product over time. Until then everyone have a great and blessed holiday season. Stay safe.
Really cool for the price. I was 100% expecting to be let down by this thing to be honest. I figured it was just a gimmick or that the app would be some hard to use or difficult to understand/written in chinese. It came in english and had English instructions too (some older reviews said it didnt so they must have fixed that). Overall it is a sick addition to my gaming room/setup. Pictures dont do it justice, especially in a dark room. You feel like you’re in star wars when this this is on. Especially if you screen record some custom vids and upload them in the app. It is a little loud tho. Sounds like a normal room fan is turned on. Nothing bothersome, I find the sound soothing tbh or I’ll just put music or headphones on. 10/10 given that I only paid like $120.
I love my new toy. I’ll keep it loaded and ready for show time!! But truly appreciate your patience with us. Not digitally savvy, but motivated. Your online support was outstanding. Thank you 🙂
I have the 25.8 inch version of the fan and it’s amazing. The video doesn’t do it justice. The seller created 5 videos for me and it’s super affordable. The employees love it. I built a screen over it to protect the blades from materials at home Depot for less than 50.00. the seller types fluent English and we didn’t have any language barrier when I was telling them what I wanted for the animations.
This is the most unique photo/video display that I have ever seen. Anyone that steps into the house and sees this going is absolutely amazed at what they are looking at. Now getting images or video uploaded is a little complicated but the time isn’t wasted once you see the end result.
So far people that saw it in person thought it looked great “W0W!” “Get outta town” “OMG!” are some of the reactions I got. I had to tell them don’t reach for it you’ll lose a finger (not really but they would get hurt and ruin the fan although it looks pretty durable it did hit the cord once but survived.
Using this product for Halloween decorations. There was one stock 3D animation that came with it that worked, and a few I added from my own computer using their software. It is challenging to remove files that I don’t want on the card mostly because I had to use Google Translate to translate the filenames to english and try to figure out which ones were which. The translations weren’t always super descriptive so i’m still struggling with it a little bit. I also wish the library of images was a little bit more robust.
This is the SD model and image quality isn’t fantastic, but from about 10 feet away it looks pretty good. I probably wouldn’t have spent more for higher quality given that I’m only planning on using this for decoration a few nights each year. For the price I would say it’s worth it, but expect to spend the morning doing a little trial and error to load your content and get it to play.
Nice device. the persistance of vision effect works very well and it rights itself nicely. two things to be cautious of. first it spins FAST. there is a lot of mass here. stick a finger or face in the flight path of that blade and you are going to have a very bad day.
Also mine is unbalanced. I am slowly working on balancing it (adding weight to the light wheel till it stops vibrating/humming. which should make it smoother and more stable.
app integration works fine. has never failed to work for me yet. just mount it in a safe place and its a lot of fun.
I bought another brand and it did not work right. This unit is the best easy to use and man they will send you all the hologram video you will ever need. The softwear that comes with the unit is soooooo easy to use. Seller is great and will respond to all your emails in a timely matter.
Very quality product, very clear bright display, if looking to buy a intro level hologram fan go with this one over more bulky (they are very loud) fans the thinness of the blades make this one whisper quiet.
Very well made product. The instructions are very minimalist and need to be deciphered into proper English. I’m using this for personal room decor so I’m hoping that I will get access to a large lot of free bin files as promised, and that they are easy to download and upload into the device. Online support for obtaining these type of images is slow and terrible otherwise. Also hoping to learn how to convert my own images into this format to customize it.
I bought 3 of these fans for gifts and they are amazing there very impressive and a lot of fun i had some issues but the seller got the situation taken care of asap and now my family can enjoy i
At first I thought this one may be malfunctioning like my first one I purchased and sent back but no to my surprise the SD card was not fully inserted. After watching the included video on the SD card I was up and running. After my first failed attempt my second was successful and have been happily uploading ever since. I warn if you are not computer literate or text savvy you will have a lot of difficulty in locating the files you want to install on the holigraphic projector and then encoding them into a dll file and then uploading onto the SD card which will be inserted into the holographic projector so if you’re not computer literate or text I have you find someone who is and get real friendly with him.
Para ser un producto sin expectativas, me sorprendi y a mis clientes tambin, viene una memoria pre cargada con unos “demos” y el software para convertir BIN nada complicado. Este producto 06/2021 es el mejor costo/ beneficio
Pretty good quality! Camera picks up on the shutter of the fan blades but looks amazing to the naked eye. I don’t use the app I put files directly on the sd card
Very neat product. The preloaded animation gives you an instant feel as to what you have in your possession. It’s very cool. While the high-speed and noise of the fan are a bit much for some environments they will be just fine in a store window etc. The instructions clearly state to mount the fan before turning on and for a very good reason…. it is dangerous. Think about a ceiling fan.. you wouldn’t turn it on before mounting it. I could see making a frame for this to protect little fingers and allow for broader placement. I have not made my own animation yet but looking forward to it. Very nifty product.
First i must say…buy the kit with the clear acrylic protector. This thing spins faster than a fan and is sharp as a knife. the one i got doesn’t have the safety acrylic cover and i’m not able to purchase it separately.
When you get it there’s a memory card (one of those mini ones) in the fan. You’ll need to put that in your computer to download the program to add graphics to of your own creation. There are quite a few sample graphics already loaded on the card from flowers, fruits and animated characters. Its an amazing sight when you see it in person. Videos do not do it justice.
I couldn’t get the mobile app to work but that’s fine. The directions overall are a little difficult as they are translated so the wording doesn’t always make sense.
There’s a program for both mac and windows to help you make your own graphics but its a little involved whereas you have to have an image or set of images or video with a total black background and then render it through the program to make it work with the hologram.
You’ll need to be tech savvy to customize your holograms but if not there are so many different ones built in that you’ll enjoy. Ohh and there’s no on and off switch or remote control its plug and within a couple of seconds it revs up and spins and starts the 3d holograms in rotation. (all on that mini memory card)
I tried to get in touch twice with the seller to get the clear cover but no response.
I just wanted to put something here for now. Due to medical issues I’ve gotten quite behind, but after I’ve checked this out some more, I will come and share my findings. I did look everything over that came though. And I read the bit of initial instructions. Well, I understood them just fine, and I believe it will work as they say, as long as I follow the instructions correctly. It might be tricky to find, but there should be a micro SD card in the center area of the main device. Everything else seems to be in order too. Also, I haven’t seen these for less than a hundred dollars, so the price is a bonus here. Anyway, like I said, I will update this as soon as I can. Because I also need to choose a spot to mount this thing and all. And one more thing. The pictures don’t do this thing justice. When you open it up and look closely at everything? Well, the workmanship is impressive to say the least.
Overall this is a good product. It works just as described. It is one of the few products that have 4 blades for an inexpensive price. It was easy to install. I do recommend buying different anchors than the ones provided if you’re going to mount on a wall. Like most, the software is in Chinese so if you don’t speak Chinese you may want to use a translator to translate filenames. The software included to make new videos is not easy to use but that seems to be the case for most of the holographic fans. I like the product and would recommend buying the product.
Pretty cool low cost hologram fan. I would like to have more options for videos and images. I wish I could get access to the images I hear about from others. The tone of free ones? I can change it out on my PC with MicroSD card. If the support sees this or anyone else who knows of a free stock library let me know here.
This is a tough review to write for me, because I think the product is very well made and a good value, and does what it is supposed to. 5 stars in that area for sure.
But after reading for months about these devices (and as a possible pinball machine topper for my application), I have decided to not use mine for that purpose. By design, all of these 3D devices use a spinning blade and a bunch of LEDs for the images. It looks ok, but to me not completely 3D. The quality of the videos is very important, and this one comes with dozens preloaded, and the seller immediately responded to my inquiry and provided a drive with hundreds of different ones, ranging from animals to technology things and just random clips. And another sho-stopper for my intended application is fan noise; it isn’t loud, but it is enough that I find it annoying.
Now this would be a GREAT idea as something to catch eyeballs if you have a store or display (which is out of reach of hands or fingers). It looks pretty good, but again, just did not quite look as amazing as I had hoped.
The seller is excellent, product good quality, so I still give it a solid 4 stars, just know what you are getting with these and to not set expectations too high like I did 🙂
These 3d holograms are really about the coolest thing since sliced bread, however have been out of reach for most consumers due to the sheer cost and complexity of them. I had a smaller one prior to this that cost me near 500$$ and required a PHD in coding to get it to work correctly. When it worked it was cool, but a pain to do so. That and it didnt have a reliable mount so I had to fab one to mount to a tripod. Anyhow I decided to take another foray into the hologram world now that prices have become more reasonable and settled on this one. First thing I liked was that it is super super easy to program. It comes with an app (which is admittedly clunky) that does the job just fine and is relatively easy to use. Secondly it comes with a great mounting solution which makes it easy to remove and move around without issue. Basically it hangs like a picture. Thirdly it comes with a RF remote instead of those horrible IR ones. You can click on it from anywhere nearby without having to point it right at it to work. All in all this is a great 3d hologram fan and I really cant say anything negative about it at all. I have it mounted over my desk at work as a conversation piece and I have a bunch of transcoded 3d animations it shows. Everyone that comes in my office is blown away from it.
First of all, this is really cool. It worked right out of the box. However, I was a little too eager to test it out and quickly learned at how potentially dangerous this thing can be. That’s dumb on my part, but I think there can be more done in the packaging to highlight the potential danger. I took off one star for that.
The only safe way to enjoy this is to immediately mount it to a wall. Don’t mess around, just get it mounted. Don’t buy this and then try and figure out where to mount it. Figure that out ahead of time. Fortunately, it’s very easy to mount and comes with everything you’d need. It’s also important to figure out how you’ll route the power cable and keep it safely out of the way. There’s another potential risk of this thing spinning and grabbing onto the power cord.
Once it’s safely mounted and the power cable is out of the way, plug it in and be awed at the ‘hologram’ image. It’s surprisingly bright. My first test was in our kitchen which had lots of light. That doesn’t really impact the viewing of the image. However, I would say this works really well in a darker room. The effect is better. I would also warn a bit on the whirring sound. It’s a bit louder then a fan, so keep that in mind. It’s loud enough that you wouldn’t want to have it in a quiet conversation room.
The quality of this is pretty impressive. The base is heavy, which ensures that it will not wobble on the wall. The blades are an exposed PCB with an array LEDs and chips on opposite sides. Very well done!
In order to get a new image/video saved to the device, you have to get the files onto a MicroSD card that fits into the central part of the propeller. It’s relatively easy to put in and take out. You just need to copy files onto the SD card from your PC. There’s software that came with this unit as well, but I don’t plan on testing that out. I also haven’t tested installing any new images/videos. They have to be in BIN format.
Pros
– Excellent quality
– Easy to mount to a wall
– Great visual effect. Accurately displays a 3D-like image or video
– Very entertaining
Cons
– No on/off switch
– Potentially dangerous if not used or mounted correctly
Overall, I’m very impressed with this. It’s very entertaining to look at. My only concern is to the potential safety issues. However, as long as this is installed in a safe place, there shouldn’t be much to worry about. Just make sure young children cannot reach it. Highly recommended
I was giving this 45CM device a 4 maybe a 5, until I hit a snag. So I sent an email, I got a reply so fast I was amazed, not only did the seller help correct the issue (software related not device related) but even after I was happy he wanted to be absolutely sure I was ok with everything. This is better Customer Service than I have gotten anywhere for many years.
The device itself is better made than others I have seen, the balance is perfect, the design and constructon is spot on. Again others I have seen look nice but are not well designed. The APP is better than any I have seen before and extreamly user friendly.
If you are trying to decide between this and a similar product, pick this one.
The item is as described, I was impressed with how it performs. The photos posted does not do justice on how clear and awesome it looks. I will be buying extra ones in the near future.
These things are amazing. Using it as a pinball machine topper. Got the 43 cm version and couldn’t be happier. Seller goes above and beyond helping you get files if needed. I’ll be buying a second unit later this week. Looks 10x better in person, since videos show the fan blades during movement, but you can’t see that in person with the naked eye. Amazing!
This product looks and works as described. I haven’t tried the app yet, but I was able to upload a video to the sd card, put it back in, and play it back no problem! Definitely a lot of fun and very cool.
This is great for displaying animated renders or short video clips. Business owners will get their money’s worth here, though the lack of a safety grill is questionable given how fast it spins. It’s super easy to install though with the included wall mount (just screw into studs).
I tested this out with a jellyfish encoded video and a 3D video game character animation. Videos with a black background work best especially with 3d renders. Takes a standard microsd card. The instructions for install were fairly straight forward but the instructions for using the actual program used to encode videos to the acceptable format weren’t.
This is just the first one I’ve bought and I’m ordering more. I tried to get creative so I mounted it on my car and it was an instant hit! People love it!
This is a really great product. The seller is awesome, reply to you right away with any questions you may have. Send me tons of videos. Will buy again and again from this selle
his thing is super. there really is nothing else like i
Phenomenal product. Extremely nice customer service. Coolest thing I own now
Well worth the price, and customer service is beyond amazing.Very satisfied with the product and company and will continue to use and recommend to everyone who is looking into using this type of display .
I was a little hesitant to buy this but Im glad to make the choice to buy it. It came in with everything on the pictures and it works great. I have questions about the instructions and the seller was very helpful and quick to response. I would recommend if you’re looking for something cool and new.
Awesome Product!!! Once you learn to use it, its freaking simple!!! Great communication!! Wonderful to work with!!! Highly Recommend!
Even though there are room for improvements in details in programming and in manuals, this is a great product and does what it says. Excellent support and communication. 5 star all the way.
The fan works great once set uphowever, I am a computer tech and I also have spent many years in graphics. I was able to figure out the conversion software and can create my own custom graphics and then convert the mp4s to the required bin file. I don’t believe most would be able to figure out these processes as easy as I did. But if all you need is to use the videos that are available for download and not need customized graphics converted and loadedit should be easy enough for most people.
This is a very vibrant effect, great for advertising in your store. Easy to upload new images and the sets of ready made videos for the seasons are awesome. A learning curve is there, but it is not too bad.
The products price was good and I was using this for an advertisement at a gasoline station. The only problem was to change the images of the device. The software was hard to understand to program a gif file. But a great product great resolution and the quality and the packaging was excellent deliver time was also a+
I really enjoy this product, I had a bit of trouble setting it up and they were nothing but helpful on their end. Gets a lot of head turns and wow effect!
Yeah I decided to try this out for a doctor strange cosplay. Although I don’t have the costume complete or even started past this point I did load up some files for the fan to display and it worked perfectly. This looks so good people are amazed and don’t even understand what’s happening at first. Really great product would definitely recommend.
I couldn’t find the TF card in the fan. I emailed and received a response back in almost no time. This morning I’ve been emailing with customer support back and forth as quickly as though we were on an instant messenger. I haven’t dealt with such kind, patient, and immediate customer service in a very long time.
This fan is going up in our office and after giving myself a little bit of time to learn how to use it correctly, I’d absolutely buy this again and I’d recommend to anyone looking for a hologram fan to go with this one.
This is a simple and easy to use product. The fan works well.
As you will expect at this price point the features are limited and the loading of videos etc is via a micro sd card which is included with purchase.
The image quality in daylight is very good and in darker conditions even better.
Overall its a great product that we are using to engage people who see it.
This was a great purchase and the communication was very prompt and easy. The fan is easy to put together and the direction and instructions are easy to follow. They even have a video for it. I got this for trade show purposes and the seller even helped take our logo and create the 3D hologram for it. Outstanding and highly recommend it!
Pretty neat little device. Still figuring it out but seems easy enough. Simple to put together.
Will update as I continue to figure it out.
This product is so easy to install and use that I literally had it up and running in my storefront within two hours of its arrival. I’m already seeing an increase in foot traffic and purchases thanks to this unique display. I will def purchase more items from this company in the future.
The picture quality is great and it is very easy to use.
Great little product for the $$. Customer a little slow but they always get back to you.
There is a lot of reasons I could probably download this to four or even 3.5 stars but I got to say ultimately for the price you’re paying you are getting a lot of awesome it’s cool it’s very cool and comparatively to other things in this price range you aren’t going to get much now I do have a few complaints a the screws are slightly too big and the driver they gave you to install them they got tore up the app in the packaging doesn’t actually link and it’s not a secure Android app I did get a contact with their people and they sent me a new link very quickly like within a half an hour at 9:00 at night so I’m very appreciative of that but ultimately it’s cool it’s so cool and worth every damn Penny even just the default graphics that come with it as soon as you get it going you’re like all right you know what I do think I have one blown LED in it but I am thoroughly satisfied and it’s totally worth every penny that I put into it and it’s cool it’s just so cool
Wish I would have bought a bigger size but even the 17.7″ looks amazing. Literally everyone that walks by it stops and stares for a few minutes. Their support is amazing and responds within minutes.
Easy setup. Was able to add my own videos and images easily. Looks impressive. It does make more noise than I would like but it is in my arcade room and isn’t a problem there. May make a plexi cover for it but it is high up on the wall so not urgent.
So far no problems.
I am excited to see what animations we can create.
12.5 inches
This one is entry level hologram fan.
it is low profile thus makes it easy placement.
The softwere need bit more touch up and work done for general public .
Other then that it is a low price starting point so dont expect 1080p or 720p quility.
Over all great product.
Steps:
On the side of the fan thre is a microSD card .
Take the card out and place in you pc using the card readed provied in the box
Open the sd card under my computer
Look in the folders and find (3Ds-Player V…..) click in it and open the application 3DS -Player
On the top right next to the wifi icon there is a drop down menue in chinease ( click and chose SD-224) this works for 12.5 inch fan
Click on file Encode and chose the file form you pc that you wnat to upload
Then it will ask you where you want to save it …( you can save it in the same micro sd card )
Finally click on start encode .
Thats all .
Overall it is a great product.
Here is a little detail about the product.
I have the 17.7 inches and well as the 12. 6 inches.
17.7 inches:
510 lamp beads- If you price it only on beads then missyou product is the better choice ( example $199/520 beads=0.38 per beads)
There are other brand that offer up to 1000 beads and the picture quality would be much better since its more beads but they charge upwards of 0.60 to 0.70 per beads. So for starting point and price missyou would be a better choice.
I wanted to buy the 20.5 since its more beads but the motor barrel is longer.
17.5 the back barrel is about 1.93 inch
20.5 the back barrel is about 4 inch ( this would stick out too much for my design )
=========HOW TO USE 17.5========
1) Once you assemble fan blade A to A and B to B the product take out the micro sd card form the fan and put it in to you PC.
2) look for @ windows app.exe and open it
3) for 17.5 click on 45-F4
4) Click on Decode Video
5) select the file picture or video form you PC that you want to display / decode to bin format.
6) Put a name for your file and click COMMON.
7) Use you mouse wheel for zoom in or out the center point which will be displayed on the fan.
8) Click on Start Decoding
9) Once finished close the application and you should see a BIN file on you desktop with the name that you put.
10) Grab that file and put it in the SD card where all the other Bin files are.
11) SAFELY remove the micro Sd card and put back in to the fan.
Seller response time is very quick .
I will update this review for the longevity of the product in few month.
I will be using it every day 8 hours per day
Good Luck.
after two weeks of trying to figure this machine out and at my limit and through a series of nasty emails the company finally contacted me about my issues and concerns. admittedly i am not a whiz with a computer
and my patience is short with computer driven devices. so when the product arrived and did not work correctly i was quick to jump to the worst. but to my relief a man in there customer service department by the name Delin Hou was patient and knowlegeable enough to point out some small probloms that really wernt problems at all just some mis understandings on my part of a new machine it is because of him that i recomend this product because if it wernt for him this would be a whole differnt review thank you delin hou
The seller went above and beyond to satisfy our needs. We were very impressed with the level of customer service and patience to deal with our needs. Thank you for great customer service and hologram fan. We purchased the biggest fan they had
Product was really easy to set up and works great. Ability to send pictures from a phone works better than I imagined, and the resolution is great.
Great product for the cost! The image in person looks seamless, while the cell phone video makes it look choppy.
The first fan that I got, when I popped out the Micro SD card to download the software, then I couldn’t get the card back in. I sent a message to the vendor, and was advised to try it a few more times and they would replace it if that didn’t work. I printed a return label with Amazon to drop it off at Kohl’s and then contacted the vendor who said they would have just shipped me another one, but it was easy to drop it off at Kohl’s anyways. I got a replacement a couple of days later which works great. The vendor gave me a link to a large library of 3d videos, which is cool.
The other caveat for the 16.5 inch fan is that if you want to play your own images/videos, you have to convert them to .bin files using the software included on the micro SD card. You open 3Ds-Player, select a model (I always selected SD-224, not sure if it matters) and then click on File Encode. You open the image or video you want to display and then you re-name it, and after re-naming it, a red circle appears. You center it where you want, and then click Start Encode. This is the least intuitive step, as it’s the same place you clicked before. Then you move this .bin file to the micro SD card and put it back into the fan. It looks like all the larger models have a built-in WiFi and an associated app, so you don’t need to remove the micro SD card at all.
I bought a Hologram fan for my company and it works perfectly. I had some problems with video uploading at first, but after contacting customer care, the problem was resolved and they responded quickly. I contacted them via their official Instagram account, and they provided me with a whole library of the gifted videos.
Does what it says it does! Worked right out of the box. It came with a class u3 tf card for the files- high speed, good quality, nice surprise. Already ordered a bigger high def one! Seller even reached out to let me know they have more 3d files for use- very cool!
The only issue I had at all was installing the blades as they fit so perfectly together. There was a perfect angle where it just fit perfectly and easily so be patient it’s easy once that angle is achieved. Onto the product I had my doubts and was willing to take a chance on the four blade unit for better resolution possibly.
This product is amazing. It’s very easy to use and has many built in options via Phone app to not only play built in videos but to create some of your own especially 3d text with many font and color options. obviously other more elaborate videos will be programmed on my pc but out of the box and iphone app will surely impress any techie types. ***** stars indeed truly a welcomed surprise.
I got the 17 inch wifi version. The picture is amazing and you can easily add any custom images/videos (family videos, character loops, banners, etc.) to display through the app. There is a whirring sound, but I’m usually playing music so I don’t notice it at all. Since it is a FAN, it helps circulate air in my room, which is nice. I don’t regret buying it at all, and it truly emits a wow factor when it comes to livening up your space. With that said, I do have three very minor gripes (because no product is perfect). I’ll start with the smallest and move to the biggest issue. First off, putting it together was simple, but the tiny screw-threading was horrible and I was scared I’d crack the blades as I tightened. Secondly (and this may just be a problem with my own fan) the spinning base seems to have a very slight wobble that kinda makes full images shake. I though it was because of blade imbalance due to loose/offset screws, but it seems like the cap where the blades fix to wasn’t centered properly, which is unfortunate. You can barely tell however, and can’t at all when displaying pics/videos that have a black border. Lastly, in order to remotely turn it on, I have to tediously link my phone to the devices wifi. I should have gotten the blutooth version so that I’m not constantly switching from my router. With all that said, I really love it. *FYI, my recording really brightens up what I’m actually seeing. In person, the colors are super vivid*
I bought this just to see what I could do with it, I wanted to set it up with some of my figurines as a changing back drop. However it was bigger than I expected and didn’t fit where I wanted it so I am working on getting the software down its kind of touchy and doesn’t like some of the videos I tried.
However the seller does live up to the promise of 100’s of videos.
Works great, everyone loves it. The wifi range is very low, however and I have great difficulty connecting to it from the pc in the next room. Also the unit will overheat and flicker/stutter before shutting down if left on for more than two hours. This surprised me, as you would think that the spinning motion would have been used to implement some sort of cooling mechanism into the electronics. It also means that you can’t really use this for a display in a business, at least not constantly.
akes a good deal of “learning” as the instructions are pretty terrible. it says its wifi but it isnt (or its not working) and i am not sure why you’d download the software as i dont see how to make that work for this if there is no wifi. got a picture to work but not sure how to make 3d image of our logo without having someone make one. we used powerpoint with black background and slide animations and transitions which made this work pretty good as long as you use larger fonts. wish there was a way to open their images and add words; maybe there is but again, terrible instructions.
5 stars came early, exactly as shown and described it was SUPER EASY to understand and run thr software on my windows 10 laptop. Easily add any black screen backdrop mobie by simply going into the program converter and clicking decode select your video. Crop it to a certain spot or full size. Finalize. Pop SD card into fan. Plug it in and Boom. It even does good quality Movies. I put the marvel studios intro 2021 on it and it looked great.
Also contrary to people above this fan is practically dead quiet. You can hold it in your hand, and the instructions were easy to follow and my 12 year old was able to do it. So those saying it’s super loud or hard to figure out…you just have very poor computer skills. Pay them no mind folks.
Also since it hasn’t said “DELIVERED” YET ON THIS AND MY OTHER PRODUCT which is because the driver probably didn’t remember to tell Amazon I’m not sure but as you can see from pic this is a CONFIRMED PURCHASE review.
Good 3d pictures. Adding and removing files is very easy. Great customer service. Very short email response time. I will be ordering from this seller again.
5 stars is what i wanted to give it but just for the simple reason it doesn’t have a on off switch. So its a plug it in and when you want it off you have to unplug it. It really does look like holograms just jave to have the background black… i love it i make my own videos now ….a big hit is the doctor strange shield that i made for my son.
I need help with the software. It doesnt connect at all which means Im stuck with the same hologram videos which is BIN only.
Will update if I get a reply…
Update…
Micro SD was already in the motor blade part. I didnt know, I thought it was missing. Just connect through their WiFi through your phone. On the PC app, click Decode & its simple from here & now. I use GIFs alot. Hologram uses BIN Files.
Thanx Monky for the fast email replies & the help you gave me.
This was purchased as a gift and as someone who is new to this kind of holographic technology, was cautious about the purchase. After receiving and testing, was pleasantly suprrised by the high quality of the product build as well as it’s ready to use status. Packaging was also nice and shipping time was excellent. The included manual is a bit challenging given that it’s more or less an akward translation of its original language, but with a bit of common sense, it’s nearly usable instructions for the average modern user. The product itself is entry level SD, not the pricier HD model, so the holographic visuals are correspondingly not as sharp in person as one would have hoped, but nevertheless the technology still impresses for newcomers like myself, and makes for an equally impressive gift for your tech savvy friends/family. All in all, a welcome gadget to technophiles on a budget.
The instructions are in another language but it’s so simple to assemble a first grader could do it. There are four blades, each labeled A or B and they go into place diagonally from each other then you use the included screws to secure the blades to the base. That’s it. Takes all of 5 min. It’s beyond worth it to get the wifi version so you can add pics/vids straight from your phone no computer needed. Comes with some vids already preloaded but easy to upload or create more directly in the app. App is not hard to find in app store, plus they give you a qr code that takes you straight to the app on iOS or Android.
If you are looking for a fun, unique way to advertise this is definitely it. So glad I bought this instead of a banner.
Also unless you are mounting it to a wall you’ll need to purchase a stand separately.
Upon opening the package the product did not seem to meet my expectations. But once I got it out and assembled it functioned very well and is actually as cool to use as I had hoped it would be. It is a little expensive but I am not dissatisfied in the money I spent.
I just love this display! Everyone who sees it is mesmerized by it. The video encoding/conversion software is pretty easy to use once you watch the included instructional videos (although many of the buttons need better english labels and some explanation as to their function).
[To the manufacturer: I can help with translating/rewriting the instructions in more understandable & proper English if you are interested.]
I bought this for my son as one of his gifts for Hanukkah. I’ve tested this thing out and it is amazing. Picture quality is excellent, bright vibrant colors, fan functions smoothly with barely any sound coming from it. Not only good for advertising but just as good for a game room, man cave, or kids bedroom. You can upload video, images of your choice which is an awesome feature to this fan.. Remember to take safety measures because you do not want to touch this thing while in operation you just might lose a finger or two. Overall great buy happy with this purchase and I know my son will be happy too.
I will update my review in the future to reflect on the wear of the product over time. Until then everyone have a great and blessed holiday season. Stay safe.
Really cool for the price. I was 100% expecting to be let down by this thing to be honest. I figured it was just a gimmick or that the app would be some hard to use or difficult to understand/written in chinese. It came in english and had English instructions too (some older reviews said it didnt so they must have fixed that). Overall it is a sick addition to my gaming room/setup. Pictures dont do it justice, especially in a dark room. You feel like you’re in star wars when this this is on. Especially if you screen record some custom vids and upload them in the app. It is a little loud tho. Sounds like a normal room fan is turned on. Nothing bothersome, I find the sound soothing tbh or I’ll just put music or headphones on. 10/10 given that I only paid like $120.
Super easy to use, image is super clear and bright, comes with LOADS of preloaded images as well as links to the software to make your own.
I love my new toy. I’ll keep it loaded and ready for show time!! But truly appreciate your patience with us. Not digitally savvy, but motivated. Your online support was outstanding. Thank you 🙂
I have the 25.8 inch version of the fan and it’s amazing. The video doesn’t do it justice. The seller created 5 videos for me and it’s super affordable. The employees love it. I built a screen over it to protect the blades from materials at home Depot for less than 50.00. the seller types fluent English and we didn’t have any language barrier when I was telling them what I wanted for the animations.
This is the most unique photo/video display that I have ever seen. Anyone that steps into the house and sees this going is absolutely amazed at what they are looking at. Now getting images or video uploaded is a little complicated but the time isn’t wasted once you see the end result.
So far people that saw it in person thought it looked great “W0W!” “Get outta town” “OMG!” are some of the reactions I got. I had to tell them don’t reach for it you’ll lose a finger (not really but they would get hurt and ruin the fan although it looks pretty durable it did hit the cord once but survived.
My son wants to experiment with his own 3d images and will update as we learn!
Using this product for Halloween decorations. There was one stock 3D animation that came with it that worked, and a few I added from my own computer using their software. It is challenging to remove files that I don’t want on the card mostly because I had to use Google Translate to translate the filenames to english and try to figure out which ones were which. The translations weren’t always super descriptive so i’m still struggling with it a little bit. I also wish the library of images was a little bit more robust.
This is the SD model and image quality isn’t fantastic, but from about 10 feet away it looks pretty good. I probably wouldn’t have spent more for higher quality given that I’m only planning on using this for decoration a few nights each year. For the price I would say it’s worth it, but expect to spend the morning doing a little trial and error to load your content and get it to play.
Nice device. the persistance of vision effect works very well and it rights itself nicely. two things to be cautious of. first it spins FAST. there is a lot of mass here. stick a finger or face in the flight path of that blade and you are going to have a very bad day.
Also mine is unbalanced. I am slowly working on balancing it (adding weight to the light wheel till it stops vibrating/humming. which should make it smoother and more stable.
app integration works fine. has never failed to work for me yet. just mount it in a safe place and its a lot of fun.
Loading my level 2 Rocket launch onto it was fun!
Works good!! A lil problem in beginning but works great with my arcade room!!
I bought another brand and it did not work right. This unit is the best easy to use and man they will send you all the hologram video you will ever need. The softwear that comes with the unit is soooooo easy to use. Seller is great and will respond to all your emails in a timely matter.
Great seller and very easy to get along with.
Very quality product, very clear bright display, if looking to buy a intro level hologram fan go with this one over more bulky (they are very loud) fans the thinness of the blades make this one whisper quiet.
I love it this 3D Hologram Fan is amazing I don have photos or videos but I really recommend this selle
Very well made product. The instructions are very minimalist and need to be deciphered into proper English. I’m using this for personal room decor so I’m hoping that I will get access to a large lot of free bin files as promised, and that they are easy to download and upload into the device. Online support for obtaining these type of images is slow and terrible otherwise. Also hoping to learn how to convert my own images into this format to customize it.
This thing is awesome easy to set up right out of the box. Going to have fun playing with this. Will probably buy the bigger ones next.
I bought 3 of these fans for gifts and they are amazing there very impressive and a lot of fun i had some issues but the seller got the situation taken care of asap and now my family can enjoy i
At first I thought this one may be malfunctioning like my first one I purchased and sent back but no to my surprise the SD card was not fully inserted. After watching the included video on the SD card I was up and running. After my first failed attempt my second was successful and have been happily uploading ever since. I warn if you are not computer literate or text savvy you will have a lot of difficulty in locating the files you want to install on the holigraphic projector and then encoding them into a dll file and then uploading onto the SD card which will be inserted into the holographic projector so if you’re not computer literate or text I have you find someone who is and get real friendly with him.
Para ser un producto sin expectativas, me sorprendi y a mis clientes tambin, viene una memoria pre cargada con unos “demos” y el software para convertir BIN nada complicado. Este producto 06/2021 es el mejor costo/ beneficio
Pretty good quality! Camera picks up on the shutter of the fan blades but looks amazing to the naked eye. I don’t use the app I put files directly on the sd card
Very neat product. The preloaded animation gives you an instant feel as to what you have in your possession. It’s very cool. While the high-speed and noise of the fan are a bit much for some environments they will be just fine in a store window etc. The instructions clearly state to mount the fan before turning on and for a very good reason…. it is dangerous. Think about a ceiling fan.. you wouldn’t turn it on before mounting it. I could see making a frame for this to protect little fingers and allow for broader placement. I have not made my own animation yet but looking forward to it. Very nifty product.
First i must say…buy the kit with the clear acrylic protector. This thing spins faster than a fan and is sharp as a knife. the one i got doesn’t have the safety acrylic cover and i’m not able to purchase it separately.
When you get it there’s a memory card (one of those mini ones) in the fan. You’ll need to put that in your computer to download the program to add graphics to of your own creation. There are quite a few sample graphics already loaded on the card from flowers, fruits and animated characters. Its an amazing sight when you see it in person. Videos do not do it justice.
I couldn’t get the mobile app to work but that’s fine. The directions overall are a little difficult as they are translated so the wording doesn’t always make sense.
There’s a program for both mac and windows to help you make your own graphics but its a little involved whereas you have to have an image or set of images or video with a total black background and then render it through the program to make it work with the hologram.
You’ll need to be tech savvy to customize your holograms but if not there are so many different ones built in that you’ll enjoy. Ohh and there’s no on and off switch or remote control its plug and within a couple of seconds it revs up and spins and starts the 3d holograms in rotation. (all on that mini memory card)
I tried to get in touch twice with the seller to get the clear cover but no response.
I just wanted to put something here for now. Due to medical issues I’ve gotten quite behind, but after I’ve checked this out some more, I will come and share my findings. I did look everything over that came though. And I read the bit of initial instructions. Well, I understood them just fine, and I believe it will work as they say, as long as I follow the instructions correctly. It might be tricky to find, but there should be a micro SD card in the center area of the main device. Everything else seems to be in order too. Also, I haven’t seen these for less than a hundred dollars, so the price is a bonus here. Anyway, like I said, I will update this as soon as I can. Because I also need to choose a spot to mount this thing and all. And one more thing. The pictures don’t do this thing justice. When you open it up and look closely at everything? Well, the workmanship is impressive to say the least.
Overall this is a good product. It works just as described. It is one of the few products that have 4 blades for an inexpensive price. It was easy to install. I do recommend buying different anchors than the ones provided if you’re going to mount on a wall. Like most, the software is in Chinese so if you don’t speak Chinese you may want to use a translator to translate filenames. The software included to make new videos is not easy to use but that seems to be the case for most of the holographic fans. I like the product and would recommend buying the product.
Pretty cool low cost hologram fan. I would like to have more options for videos and images. I wish I could get access to the images I hear about from others. The tone of free ones? I can change it out on my PC with MicroSD card. If the support sees this or anyone else who knows of a free stock library let me know here.
This is a tough review to write for me, because I think the product is very well made and a good value, and does what it is supposed to. 5 stars in that area for sure.
But after reading for months about these devices (and as a possible pinball machine topper for my application), I have decided to not use mine for that purpose. By design, all of these 3D devices use a spinning blade and a bunch of LEDs for the images. It looks ok, but to me not completely 3D. The quality of the videos is very important, and this one comes with dozens preloaded, and the seller immediately responded to my inquiry and provided a drive with hundreds of different ones, ranging from animals to technology things and just random clips. And another sho-stopper for my intended application is fan noise; it isn’t loud, but it is enough that I find it annoying.
Now this would be a GREAT idea as something to catch eyeballs if you have a store or display (which is out of reach of hands or fingers). It looks pretty good, but again, just did not quite look as amazing as I had hoped.
The seller is excellent, product good quality, so I still give it a solid 4 stars, just know what you are getting with these and to not set expectations too high like I did 🙂
These 3d holograms are really about the coolest thing since sliced bread, however have been out of reach for most consumers due to the sheer cost and complexity of them. I had a smaller one prior to this that cost me near 500$$ and required a PHD in coding to get it to work correctly. When it worked it was cool, but a pain to do so. That and it didnt have a reliable mount so I had to fab one to mount to a tripod. Anyhow I decided to take another foray into the hologram world now that prices have become more reasonable and settled on this one. First thing I liked was that it is super super easy to program. It comes with an app (which is admittedly clunky) that does the job just fine and is relatively easy to use. Secondly it comes with a great mounting solution which makes it easy to remove and move around without issue. Basically it hangs like a picture. Thirdly it comes with a RF remote instead of those horrible IR ones. You can click on it from anywhere nearby without having to point it right at it to work. All in all this is a great 3d hologram fan and I really cant say anything negative about it at all. I have it mounted over my desk at work as a conversation piece and I have a bunch of transcoded 3d animations it shows. Everyone that comes in my office is blown away from it.
First of all, this is really cool. It worked right out of the box. However, I was a little too eager to test it out and quickly learned at how potentially dangerous this thing can be. That’s dumb on my part, but I think there can be more done in the packaging to highlight the potential danger. I took off one star for that.
The only safe way to enjoy this is to immediately mount it to a wall. Don’t mess around, just get it mounted. Don’t buy this and then try and figure out where to mount it. Figure that out ahead of time. Fortunately, it’s very easy to mount and comes with everything you’d need. It’s also important to figure out how you’ll route the power cable and keep it safely out of the way. There’s another potential risk of this thing spinning and grabbing onto the power cord.
Once it’s safely mounted and the power cable is out of the way, plug it in and be awed at the ‘hologram’ image. It’s surprisingly bright. My first test was in our kitchen which had lots of light. That doesn’t really impact the viewing of the image. However, I would say this works really well in a darker room. The effect is better. I would also warn a bit on the whirring sound. It’s a bit louder then a fan, so keep that in mind. It’s loud enough that you wouldn’t want to have it in a quiet conversation room.
The quality of this is pretty impressive. The base is heavy, which ensures that it will not wobble on the wall. The blades are an exposed PCB with an array LEDs and chips on opposite sides. Very well done!
In order to get a new image/video saved to the device, you have to get the files onto a MicroSD card that fits into the central part of the propeller. It’s relatively easy to put in and take out. You just need to copy files onto the SD card from your PC. There’s software that came with this unit as well, but I don’t plan on testing that out. I also haven’t tested installing any new images/videos. They have to be in BIN format.
Pros
– Excellent quality
– Easy to mount to a wall
– Great visual effect. Accurately displays a 3D-like image or video
– Very entertaining
Cons
– No on/off switch
– Potentially dangerous if not used or mounted correctly
Overall, I’m very impressed with this. It’s very entertaining to look at. My only concern is to the potential safety issues. However, as long as this is installed in a safe place, there shouldn’t be much to worry about. Just make sure young children cannot reach it. Highly recommended
I was giving this 45CM device a 4 maybe a 5, until I hit a snag. So I sent an email, I got a reply so fast I was amazed, not only did the seller help correct the issue (software related not device related) but even after I was happy he wanted to be absolutely sure I was ok with everything. This is better Customer Service than I have gotten anywhere for many years.
The device itself is better made than others I have seen, the balance is perfect, the design and constructon is spot on. Again others I have seen look nice but are not well designed. The APP is better than any I have seen before and extreamly user friendly.
If you are trying to decide between this and a similar product, pick this one.
The item is as described, I was impressed with how it performs. The photos posted does not do justice on how clear and awesome it looks. I will be buying extra ones in the near future.
These things are amazing. Using it as a pinball machine topper. Got the 43 cm version and couldn’t be happier. Seller goes above and beyond helping you get files if needed. I’ll be buying a second unit later this week. Looks 10x better in person, since videos show the fan blades during movement, but you can’t see that in person with the naked eye. Amazing!
This product looks and works as described. I haven’t tried the app yet, but I was able to upload a video to the sd card, put it back in, and play it back no problem! Definitely a lot of fun and very cool.
