    • A professional piece of gear at a consumer price.
Size: 12" Tablet/Monitor Prompter (Pro)
PROS Very nicely made. I used this for a whole day of teleprompter on a dolly, tripod, and it worked flawlessly. I really like tat the rod knobs can be pulled out and put back in so that if you are tightening or loosening them and you are up against another part of your rig you can basically release them and turn them back and continue tightening them. This was a very pleasant surprise and makes it super easy to tighten this down onto your 15mm rods even if your lens or a follow focus or other accessory is really tightly mounted together with the Teleprompter. I wish all rod tightening screws were built like this. From as far away as 15' - 20' talent had no problems reading this teleprompter so the glass works really well. And I even had an iPad mini mounted to it. CONS No instructions in the box so you have to fiddle with it for a while to figure out exactly how this thing works and how to adjust the angle of the glass for viewing. The carry case is nice but the Styrofoam they pack into it is pretty cheap. The draw string used to tighten the black cloth to your lens is not my favorite way to go but it works well enough. SUMMARY There are no light leaks and it seems that this is a great teleprompter for the price. If you have an iPad this makes for a very good option for using it as a teleprompter and the price and quality are very hard to be. ... show more

    • Exactly What I Needed
Size: 12" Tablet/Monitor Prompter (Pro)
Product arrived today online and looks great! Just spent some time trying it out and I'm thrilled with the product. Because it was less expensive than many other models I was concerned about the quality, but I didn't need to be. It's sturdy and seems to be built of great materials. #HappyCustomer.

    • Poor quality construction, limited adjustability. Product not as pictured on Amazon.
Size: 12" Tablet/Monitor Prompter (Pro)
I bought this teleprompter to build into a DSLR video rig for making YouTube videos. I'm using SmallRig components built around a 15mm rail setup, so I thought that this would be a good fit for my camera system. Unfortunately, this unit was disappointing. First, the quality of the GlideGear components leaves a lot to be desired. The fit and finish is nowhere near the quality of other 15mm rail accessories, like SmallRig, Camvate or Niceyrig. The GlideGear's tolerances on these rail components is sloppy and difficult to mix and match with different brands of 15mm accessories. With SmallRig, everything slides together like butter, with this GlideGear unit, you're constantly fighting with the rails to line up with your accessories and mounts. Second, the frame that holds the mirrored glass is flimsy and not even level with the tablet screen. If you're thinking of using this with a shoulder mounted rig, don't bother. The glass bounces all over the place if you move the camera at all. Second the metal is so flimsy, the glass frame is not square relative to the tablet screen. These need to be square with each other, or your reflected text is skewed on an irritating angle. Third, there is no ability to adjust the angle of the glass so that the presenter can easily read the text on the teleprompter. This is a huge flaw, since you need to think first about the teleprompter being at a readable angle before you frame your shot for the video. If you make the framing look good, the teleprompter is at the wrong angle, if you make the teleprompter visible, the composition of your video frame is off. Not cool. This tool is supposed to make your video production easier, not harder. Fourth, the lens hood that is pictured in the Amazon listing is not what is delivered in the box. In fact, all of the Amazon photos should be updated since they don't match the product I received. The lens hood I received was not the nice square fitted unit that is pictured in the photos. It was a sloppy nylon sock that bunched up and would often obscure the corners of the frame if you weren't super careful. Take a look at the product images on Amazon and compare them closely to the customer images posted in the reviews. The hoods don't match, in two photos on the Amazon product listing shows that you can adjust the angle of the mirror. Even the gold hardware in the pics is black when you unbox it in person. Not good. Fifth, the camera mount is badly designed. There is a single 1/4" threaded screw that connects the camera to the platform. It's difficult to tighten down the camera, and there is no option for a second screw to make sure that the camera doesn't twist out of alignment and stays in place. I added a quick release plate to the GlideGear camera mount -- it needs that second screw mount to keep things aligned. The best option would be to scrap the included camera mount completely and replace it with one from Camvate, but that's an extra $60 to get one that works properly. Sixth, The included rails are too short to use with professional lenses. I built this camera/teleprompter rig around a full-frame DSLR, and wanted to be able to use it with my 16-35 f/4 and 24-70 f/2.8 zoom lenses. It works fin with smaller lenses like my 50mm or 85mm prime lens out of the box, but the zooms are what I wanted to use for this project. The included rails are not long enough to fit a mid sized zoom lens, camera body and tablet into this teleprompter. You could buy longer rails, but that's another $30 you'd spend to make it work. Seventh, the bag is junk. It comes with a bag, but it's basically useless. It's awkward to load and unload the teleprompter. Everything flops around when folded flat. It doesn't offer much protection. There are two big pieces of styrofoam floating around inside a cheap zippered bag. It's poorly constructed. This product does work as a teleprompter, however it needs some serious design revisions to make it a quality product. I've returned my teleprompter, and I will be spending more to buy one from a different brand that is designed properly. ... show more

Does exactly what it should. I found the carrying case it comes in to be useless, so I keep it in a separate box without folding it for storage.

    • I regret purchasing this teleprompter
Size: 12" Tablet/Monitor Prompter (Pro)
As a business owner myself, I certainly don't want to hurt someone else livelihood. I don't write reviews often, but after hot glueing the velcro tape back on to the mirrors, and constantly fighting with this to get it to work, I have to bite the bullet and purchase another teleprompter because I simply cannot trust this to do the job when I am in the field, or in the studio. I have owned this for 2 years now, I have used it about 8 times and it is falling apart. I am writing this review for one purpose, to spare anyone else of the frustration that I have had when using this item. I wish the owners of this business the best, and I hope this feedback is used to create a better product. Here are the changes I would recommend: Price - There are a ton of better quality teleprompters at a lower price point available now Build Quality - Screws don't fit, velcro adhesive wears off, it is cheaply and poorly made ... show more

    • Handy for amateur videographer
Size: 12" Tablet/Monitor Prompter (Pro)
This was my first time using a teleprompter. Overall it was a good experience. My main complaints are how limited it can be to move the camera + make the screen visible for the person reading the teleprompter. I also thought the mounting system for the camera was poor. It worked just fine for me because I wasn’t moving the camera around to multiple location or a busy area. I would want something sturdier in that case. ... show more
