- 8849 TANK Pad Ultra 1080p projector accurately projects clear images from 0.5 to 4 meters
- Night vision camera captures usable images even in near-total darkness conditions
- Rugged chassis resists drops, dust, and water for harsh environments
The 8849 TANK Pad Ultra is a rugged Android tablet which combines a 10.95 inch FHD 1200 x 1920 display with a built-in 1080p DLP projector rated at 260 lumens.
The projector can auto-focus and project images from 0.5 to 4 meters, supported by a micro-ranging laser which helps fine-tune the focal distance.
The design is intended for outdoor use, temporary presentations, and fieldwork where a separate projector would be impractical or expensive.

Night‑Vision camera and rugged features
The 8849 TANK Pad Ultra features a 10.95 inch FHD panel, flanked by stereo speakers using a smart PA configuration and a waterproof receiver for calls.
On the rear, it has the projector lens, night vision camera cluster, and a 2.5 inch-style speaker cutout, while the side and bottom edges host the charging port, PTT keys, and waterproof connector caps.
The tablet’s IP-rated, reinforced chassis aims to withstand drops, dust, and moisture, while the projector remains enclosed and protected when not in use.
On the imaging side, the TANK Pad Ultra stacks a 50MP rear main camera with an IMX766 sensor and a 64MP AF night vision camera using an OV64B sensor.
The night vision array adds four infrared LEDs that illuminate scenes in near-total darkness, allowing the camera to capture usable images without a visible light flash.
The rugged tablet also includes a camping lamp module with red and blue warning lights, magnetic modular accessories, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Buttons for power, volume, and two PTT keys are built into the ruggedized frame, which is designed to work with protective handheld leather covers and waterproof interface plugs.
Under the hood, the tablet runs a MediaTek Dimensity 8200 platform with 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB of internal storage.
It supports 5G NR on both FDD and TDD bands, along with LTE Advanced, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.3, enabling fast wireless data and screen mirroring to external displays.
The device includes dual-band GPS, Glonass, Galileo, and Beidou for relatively precise location tracking, as well as NFC for reading and card mode interactions.
A 23,400mAh battery delivers long runtime, replenished over a 66W USB-C fast charging input, with the same port doubling as a reverse charging source for other gadgets.
This device also supports dual nano SIM cards plus a microSD card for additional storage expansion, and it ships with Android 15 out of the box.
The 8849 TANK Pad Ultra is available now for $599.
