Size: 12" Tablet/Monitor Prompter (Pro)Verified Purchase

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.

Poor quality construction, limited adjustability. Product not as pictured on Amazon.

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2020

Size: 12" Tablet/Monitor Prompter (Pro)Verified Purchase

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.

Size: 12" Tablet/Monitor Prompter (Pro)Verified Purchase

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

Size: 12" Tablet/Monitor Prompter (Pro)Verified Purchase

This is a review of the TMP 500. As you will know, what this kit gives you is the angled partially reflective glass and triangular lightproof box needed to project text in front of the lens for a presenter. The TMP 500 is not the cheapest but at £140 it can still be classed as low-cost.

The essentials of a teleprompter or autocue device are a tablet (e.g. iPad) or phone, the semi-reflective glass, a light-proof box and a frame to keep it together. Of course, the tablet is not provided, you are expected to use your everyday device loaded with one of the many teleprompter/autocue apps.

THE GLASS
The glass is clearly coated as you would expect and so does not suffer from the double-reflections that ordinary glass gives. It works as well as any glass I have seen in such a device, consumer or professional. It is about 244mm x 192mm of reflective area, about 312mm across the diagonal. So that allows for a tablet screen of up to 244mm x 136mm to be reflected. It loses exactly 1/2 stop of light. A more costly model would perhaps accommodate a larger screen and so be usable further away. In practical terms, modern style is wide-angle close to the camera so this is unlikely to be an issue for most.

LIGHTPROOF BOX
The lightproof box comprises two elements A three sided part that with the glass forms the front with the box shading the glass and preventing light from above being reflected into the camera's lens. The three sides fold flat for storage and are zipped together for assembly. This did not sound promising but actually works well though you have the same need as you do with a coat of exactly aligning the zip ends to get it to glide shut. The second element is a velvet cone that seals the first part to any lens. It has a drawstring to seal around the optic. This all works fine, and in fact is one of the best I have used. It has the same issue that all of these devices have that you can't easily see to locate the lens and stop it banging into the glass when mounting and adjusting the camera.

THE FRAME
Finally then, the frame. The glass is mounted on a yoke which incorporates a clamp for the bottom edge of the tablet. The yoke sits on rails. The rails then also hold the camera support behind, and a clamp for the top edge of the tablet in front. The rails are 34cm long which is fine for a mirrorless 35mm camera but may not be long enough for an over-the-shoulder video camera. However, this is where this unit's unique qualities come to the fore. The rails are standard 15mm diameter mounted 60mm apart. So, you can extend them or swap them using standard parts. The threads for extending them measure 12.58mm (pitch approximately 2mm). You could even exchange them for lightweight carbon versions if you wish.

ASSEMBLY
You flip the glass over from its storage position and tighten screws to set the angle - so there is some angle adjustment there. You then add the other clamp for the tablet and once the yoke and tablet position are set you can add the camera support. The yoke holds both rails and it is most vital that this is tightened well using the rather nice but small thumbscrew levers. The other two items are then the adjustable parts with just one similar fixing each. This does work OK, but you have to remember to set the rails up on the yoke first, and that means using the tablet and clamp to get the sizing right. Of course you can mark the position for later assembly. To some extent then the room you have for the camera is set by the size of tablet. an ordinary sized iPad with a 35mm camera and a large-ish standard zoom lens work fine.

The whole thing then has to be put on your tripod plate and attached to the tripod head. This is the only part that I felt let the assembly down. While they do have 3/8 and 1/4 mounting holes, there is no hole for the index that you get on video tripod plates, and the underside of the yoke is utterly smooth with no groves or even rubber like they have to prevent camera slew. So getting a firm, untwistable connection between yoke and standard 1/4in screw-on plate is impossible.

The camera attachment can be mounted pointing forward or for larger lenses/cameras, backward. It actually accommodates a greater range than you would guess. There is a rubber top surface to help keep the camera untwisted and a thumbscrew for attaching the camera's baseplate. The camera's mounting height can then be adjusted by way of another thumbscrew and I reckon 35mm style cameras would fit even with their optional battery boxes added below their baseplates.

CASE
Truly the best thing about this model is the case. It is a hard thick-walled plastic case with close-cell foam packed around the various parts. The valuable and fragile thing here is the glass, and the protection from the case is impeccable. The case is not small at 36cm x 41cm x 21cm, but I would say it is ideal as it is not a heavy metal flight-case yet is rigid enough to provide a lot of protection.

ADDITIONS
I bought a remote control to go with this and it is a pity that one is not supplied. For me it's essential. This is a BlueTooth device that controls the app. You will need an app, and it is essential that it is the sort that can display the text in mirror form. I downloaded the one to go with the remote that I purchased. The yoke has a couple of mounting holes for adding attachments on its side.

CONCLUSION
I would guess that this model is around 20% to 30% more than the cheapest alternatives you are looking at. What makes this model worth buying are firstly the case, which is well worth having if you do any travelling at all. Then secondly, the rail system which make this far more adaptable than similar models.

If you will never travel and do not need the adaptability, then maybe look elsewhere if you can buy cheaper. This is not the choice if you want the smallest, lightest, mount-on-the-lens style versions either. The type that get used with cell phones. If you are after a tablet-sized model though and value the flexibility that rails provide, at this price there is nothing to touch it. Even if the rails are not important to you, the case should be as I'm sure it is about the best out there.

Size: 12" Tablet/Monitor Prompter (Pro)Verified Purchase

L'article est arrivé rapidement
La housse est effectivement légère mais elle est plus que suffisante pour le transport
Les tubes sont un peu courts mais suffisant pour monter une reflex et un 24-70
En lisant les commentaires j'avais peur pour l'effet double que certaines personnes ont remonté. Cet effet est présent à une distance de 40cm, plus loin cella deviens invisible. Comme notre tournage était à 2-3m n'a pas gené l'acteur

Rapporto qualità/prezzo imbattibile

Size: 12" Tablet/Monitor Prompter (Pro)Verified Purchase

Il prompter funziona perfettamente, i materiali sono ottimi (no plastica, tutto in lega metallica).

c'è qualche piccolo difettuccio (attacco camera migliorabile, qualità del tessuto del paraluce non altissima) ma considerato il prezzo sono 5 stelle piene.

the build quality is just oke. but the worst thing about this autocue is that the position of the glass is not correct, so you won't see the whole screen of the iPad. I would suggest to invest a bit more money is something beter
