The MoGo 2 Pro is the latest projector from XGIMI designed purely with portability in mind. Now with the release of its Multi-angle stand, the MoGo 2 Pro adds an element of beautiful design making the projector one of the coolest bits of tech we’ve seen this year.

Design
When you first take the MoGo 2 Pro out of the box, the eagle-eyed tech enthusiasts might see that it resembles a certain popular wifi speaker out on the market right and in our opinion that’s definitely not a bad characteristic as this speaker can actually double up as a Bluetooth speaker when not being used to light up your walls.
Weighing in at 1kg (3 if you add the stand) the MoGo 2 Pro has a very premium and heavy feel and none of this projector feels plasticky.
Almost all of the speaker is covered in a metal casing which covers the lens and the pair of 8W speakers and only the back of the projector is reserved for the inputs which give the MoGo 2 Pro a very sleek and clean look that won’t look garish or out of place in any room.
The back of the Mogo 2 Pro has a USB input to power it up with the wall charger supplied but it can also be powered via a portable battery back if you’re ever out on the move.
You also get 1xHDMI in, a 3.5mm audio jack and a USB port. Being a portable projector this is probably all you’ll need to get by as you can still plug in external firesticks/consoles or other devices if needs be.
There is only one touch control on this device and that is the power button on top. It would have been great to be able to control volume/sources on it also so it’s definitely worth keeping that remote safe and in sight at all times.
The Stand
The multi-angle stand is an exceptional accessory designed to enhance your experience with projectors from the MoGo and Halo series. Its Dark Slate Grey aluminium alloy construction provides both durability and an aesthetic appeal that complements your projector setup.
Supporting projectors weighing up to 2 kilograms, this stand offers a reliable platform for your projection needs. With its impressive tilt range of plus-minus 120° so it presents a unique solution for those who lack a white wall for projection. Yes, we’re talking about the ceiling! Transform your ceiling into a captivating screen and enjoy an immersive viewing experience like never before.
Weighing a mere 0.6 kilograms, Its compact and portable design allows for easy transportation, making it a hassle-free companion for on-the-go projection setups. Whether you’re heading to a friend’s place or preparing for a business presentation, this stand is quick to pack and ready to join you on any adventure.
It seamlessly integrates into any room, effortlessly blending with your decor. Its compact dimensions ensure minimal space occupancy, making it ideal for small flats where efficient space utilization is paramount. Furthermore, when not in use, the stand can be conveniently stored without taking up excessive room.
Features
ISA 2
Xgimi’s new Intelligent Screen Adaption is very trick it has up its sleeve. ISA 2 technology empowers you to effortlessly achieve optimal projection quality with minimal manual adjustments.
ISA 2 has automatic focus and keystone correction technology, so setting up your projector has never been easier. Simply place it on a flat surface, point it at the screen, and let it take care of the rest. This innovative feature ensures hassle-free installation, saving you time and effort.
Whilst it was always 100% accurate the UI does allow for manual correction using the remote too to get your screen just perfect.
Intelligent Tools
The Mogo 2 Pro also features Intelligent Obstacle avoidance, Intelligent Screen Alignment and Intelligent Eye protection. Whilst these are all nice to-haves rather than must-haves they’re all pretty cool features that actually work intelligently and also have the added feature of being able to be switched off if needed.
One of the standout features of the Mogo Pro 2 is that XGIMI have included Android 11 right out of the box. Once you’re logged into your G-account you’ll be streaming from all of your favourite platforms such as Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime and Youtube in just a few clicks.
Not only that, the Mogo 2 Pro also has Chromecast built-in so if you wanted to skip all of the above you still have the option to cast over your favourite media straight to the device and have it pop up on the big screen and share the opportunity to do so with your friends and family.
