Solo Traveler

Watching a movie outside under the starry sky is a great way to wind down after a backyard barbecue with friends. All you need to make it happen is a portable video projector, a simple sound system, and a screen. There are plenty of outdoor screen options, but none are as full-featured as the Solo from Screen Innovations. A basic Solo consists of the company’s tab-tensioned Slate 1.2 screen material housed in a slim 2.75-inch cassette. The motorized screen is controlled by an RF remote, and it’s powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can operate for up to two years on a single charge. Multiple accessories extend your control and mounting options, including suction-cup mounts for quick-and-easy installation on an RV or garage door. The Solo is available in standard 80-, 90-, and 100-inch screen sizes. Prices start at $1,600. screeninnovations.com
