Glide Gear TMP 75 Compact Teleprompter for DSLR and Smartphone, 70/30 Beam Splitter Glass, All-Metal Build, Pre-Assembled with Carry Case, 15mm Rail Mount

I've spent many decades in media production and television systems and have even repped teleprompter products. I'm out of the TV biz and into online learning now and I needed a sturdy, light and not very expensive teleprompter rig for my DSLR camera. This does the trick for a nice low price.The build quality is much better than I'd expected. The rig is aluminum (not plastic) and nicely finished. Adjustment knobs are large and easy to get to. The mirror frame is thick, protective and also aluminum. Camera position is easily adjustable, though the sled could be longer to accommodate slightly bigger cameras and/or longer lenses.T he camera mount has quality rubber pads to hold your camera firmly and is thick enough aluminum that I'd suspect you'd be able to extend it with another aluminum plate to get that length for many longer lenses. The mount for the phone or tablet is also aluminum and is adjustable enough to fit my 7 inch tablet and one of the many old phones I have lying around (that I never seem to get around to selling). The aluminum here could be a little thicker; it's plenty strong to hold any phone or tablet, I'm just afraid I'll bend it someday if I kick over the tripod or someone runs into it -but I nit pick.It also comes with a very sturdy plastic rig for your phone. The 1/4 20 knob, not only tightens the rig to the prompter sled, it also has a 1/4 20 on it's bottom so you could use your phone on a tripod or fishpole without the prompter. A spring loaded sturdy metal clip holds your phone very securely and the rubber inserts at top and bottom protect it from marring.I saw comments about the cloth hood. The firmness of the hood here is such that you can push it where you want and it stays up out of the way of the lens and that's nice. It's also a sturdy material that will last. I do augment it with a thin black cloth to cover any gaposis. Not a huge problem.I've also paired this with a free teleprompter app (Proverb Teleprompter) made by some churchy outfit that allows me to upload text files and with the Parrot Telemprompter Remote I can advance and rewind the app fairly easily.It all folds up rather flat and fits in a canvas-like case with appropriate quality hard white foam. This is really a nice little unit for on-the-go prompting and for the price, it's that rare high quality, low priced bargain.

I got this for making Youtube videos. I record on a smartphone and use my old out-of-date smartphone as a teleprompting source. This teleprompter is perfect for that.The good:1. The track behind the glass is T-shaped, which is perfect for recording on a cell phone because cell phone cameras are located in a corner of the device. So the T-shaped track lets you mount the phone to one side or the other, such that you can put the camera in the middle of the glass.2. The build quality is solid. Miles better than the Parrot teleprompter that I bought on Kickstarter. For $100 this teleprompter is a much better value. (The Parrot is also $100)3. You can actually use this teleprompter with a regular camera for filming as well as a cellphone. What might might not be ideal is the length of the T-shaped track behind the glass. If you use a really long lens then it might not fit on the track.4. The included black fabric is nice and stiff, so it doesn't drape down and get in the shot.5. I like the carrying case. It's not a super high quality case that will withstand tons of road use, but it's good enough for light travel or for storing the teleprompter.6. I like that this is foldable. I don't have a lot of space in my house, so I appreciate that I can pack this away when I'm not using it.The not-so-good:1. The included cell phone holder is very stiff, and it's difficult for me to get my phone in and out of it. I use a cell phone tripod mount made by a different company and it works much better.2. The glass is just a hair smaller than I'd like it to be. I film with my cell phone camera in selfie mode so that I can make sure that I'm in frame. I use a Google Pixel (NOT the XL version) and when my camera is centered in the glass (which it must be, or else the corners of the teleprompter are in the shot), my cell phone juts out the side of the teleprompter. I also can't see about a half inch of my screen, so it is hard to tell if I'm centered in frame or not.Overall, I'd recommend this teleprompter to any Youtuber looking to improve the quality of their videos. It's not perfect--if I wanted something better than I might try the TMP 100--but since this one is half the price of the TMP 100, I'll live with the minor drawbacks.

Makes scripting for videos easy

Have used this with phone and DSLR cameras, it works well with a few caveats:- The screws to lock the frame at the correct angle are fiddly and it's easy to accidentally get the hinge screws instead if you haven't used it for a while and forget which one is which.- It's hard to get a phone close enough to the frame, with today's big wide-angle phone cameras that does mean you're forced to use zoom to avoid getting the corners of the frame in view. No issues with a DSLR, the T-track works great for those.- The light exclusion hood is quite stiff and not quite big enough for a DSLR, meaning you often get a gap through which light escapes, making it hard to read the reflection on screen. I think this has gone through a few revisions as other people mention zips, whereas mine has toggle cords for securing it.That said it's one of the cheaper options out there, the glass is good quality with no in-camera reflections and it's solid once assembled with a standard tripod mount. It also comes with a good carry case that has just enough spare space to store a couple of extra cleaning cloths and stow the prompter with a quick release mount attached, making assembling the frame and sorting out the hood the only awkward bits of using it.

I'm a high school teacher, and I bought this teleprompter to help record video lessons necessitated by our move to Emergency Remote Teaching due to the Covid-19 pandemic.The build is excellent, solid but light and portable, and it folds down easily. The screen is a good size. It works extremely well with my iPhone. It also fits my iPad, but I do have to adjust the margins in my teleprompter app so text is not cut off.I usually film with a camcorder. I do have some issues fitting the hood around the view screen, and the camera lines up slightly off centre to the screen. Nothing insurmountable though.All in all, an excellent teleprompter for its price. A very good value.

The teleprompter is very solid and well made. Delivery error free and in time.

Good Product.. all metal feel nice just that rail length was small for Nikon7200 with 24 -70 mm lens . Third party rail system will fix the issue ..
