Glide Gear TMP 100 Teleprompter – DSLR, Tablet, Smartphone – 12" Glass, Carry Case, No Assembly

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.

The Glide Gear TMP 75 Laptop Smartphone TelePrompter is a stellar product for a few reasons. The first of which is the size. I create Instagram Reels content filming in public places like coffee shops and pubs, so the form factor works perfectly with a table top tripod. It doesn't dominate the table and it's easy to move around to get the shot framed correctly. Second, the quality of the materials and manufacturing are off the charts. The rails and base plate system are fabulous and easy to adjust to accommodate a smart phone or camera, or in my case a GoPro. Third, the fabric hood is insanely easy to remove and replace to adjust the camera. Other models from different manufacturers are not as easy to setup and take down. Fourth, the included carry case is no larger than an insulated lunch bag. Very easy to carry if you're on the move. I can recommend this product without hesitation. I am thrilled by the function, the quality and the portability.

I have some experience with a variety of other teleprompters. This one is made extremely well and certainly has design elements that are superior to the other brands. If you're looking for a portable teleprompter, this is the one for you. Pros: 1. Glass is fantastic material. Truly better glass than most out there and great reflectivity. 2. The design overall is stylish and flattering. The cloth cover/shield is rigid and aesthetic, unlike other cheap teleprompters. Cons: *I'm rather critical in all of my reviews, so these are less cons than user experience feedback 1. The extra screws on the left and right of the aluminum are designed to attach accessories such as mics and lights. Keep in mind that they are very easily loosened because it is a single 1/4" knob that screws into your ball head joint or whatever you're using to attach the other devices. What this means is that every time I tried to adjust the microphone, the screw would slip and I would need to retighten. I tried holding up my small 5.5" feelworld monitor on the side: it worked with a few diy solutions, but whenever i tried putting the npf battery in, the screw would easily come undone and then it was difficult to install. 2. The design is best suited for an iPad; anything thicker than an iPad would work, but need other reinforcements to get it tight. I use a Feelworld 7 inch monitor with this. It works great, but the edges of the field monitor is too thick to be held by the teleprompter's clamps. As a compromise, I put a piece of foam on one edge to add some extra resistance so the clamps could clamp the edge tightly. When you have HDMI cords and power adapters connected to the monitor, you definitely don't want it to fall so this was my workaround. 3. Cost. I still feel that for a piece of aluminum... some cloth and velcro, and a two-way mirror... I'm not sure why teleprompters even at the budget range are as expensive as they are. Even so, to me, it's well worth the extra $50 for this one when comparing it to other budget teleprompters. And certainly, why even spend money on the $1,000 teleprompters when this works just as well? Conclusion: Don't even look at the other budget teleprompters. This has all the design specifications and features and is extremely quality.

I like the solid quality of the product. Easy to use and fold. Great that this come with a bag. Good stuffs!

Great product, excellent quality, delivery and shipping was as promised, amazing value for money

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

excellent product, easy to install. and operate fantasic quality product.

Muy funcional para el precio. Aun para producciones semiprofesionales ...perfecto Muy ligero y transportable La construcción es buena pero podría ser mejor. El Ipad 2 no ajusta bien
