   Teleprompter helps tremendously for speaker in a summit!
   Great customer service. Original purchase was missing the L-Bracket & screw. New product was immediately replaced and worked perfectly. Easy to connect, software was a tad confusing with the warning or digital sharing, but with an email or two, and a google search of a hub software that needed to be installed, everything worked as intended. Thank you.

   Just WOW
   It’s an amazing piece of equipment kind of weird to get used to it, and a looooot of issues finding how to place it on my desk but finnaly i made it work, now it’s set up over there and hopefully will not move anymore, it’s not heavy at all but, tend to bend my stands. I guess the thing is kind of huge, so it moves if you have the ball thing with your stand.

   Good for What it is Designed for
   If you’re looking for a teleprompter for your desk/talking head–this unit is fine. For anything else, this isn’t what you’re looking for. The software is ‘workable’ and not much better than what’s out there already for free. The included monitor is limited but functional.

   Makes recording with a script a breeze.
   I have really enjoyed using the Elgato Prompter. It has cut our recording times down dramatically. The only draw back is the that sometimes it is fickle when connecting to the PC. We moved to a USB-C to USB-C cable instead of using the one included with the unit. This has solved the problem… most of the time.

   Works with newer Macbooks
   Others have complained about comparability issues with a Mac. I’m using this on a new M4-chip Mac with Sequoia and have had no issues after figuring out how to install the software.

   Terrible product
   It took a lot of configuring for it to even “work” on my mac (my OS is updated). To get it to work I had to install multiple pieces of clunky software. It basically wanted full access to see my screen which seems insane to just use a teleprompter. Once I finally got it working the setting to use my microphone was basically unusable. It would work about 20% of the time. So my talent would ask me to scroll for her. Then I wouldn’t know how much to scroll because what was on my screen doesn’t match what’s on the teleprompter. Just a complete disaster of a product. Immediately returned it. Going to use an ipad app + prompter instead as works much better. I’m a very tech savy user so it’s uncommon for me to have this much trouble. Frustration level 9000 using this product.

   REVISED : Softwae SUCKS!
   REVISED: Deleted software from Mac. Still have Elgato coming up as toggle on security settings. I WANT TO QUIT YOU ELGATO!!!! Ridiculous!
   Very easy set-up right out of the box. Put it on a tri-pod (not included) and was ready to go fairly quickly.
   Display is bright and easy to see. The whole thing feels really cheaply made, but I don’t intend on moving it around a lot, so probably not too big a concern.
   The software is trash. On the scroll mode, the fastest is way slower than how I actually talk. They have a voice prompt feature that will scroll as you speak, but it’s very klunky. Also, I loaded the software on my Macbook, and it created some issues with its Quick Time Player. Feel like they load a bunch of spyware on the machine as they need camera (not sure why) and voice. Anyways, it didn’t play nicely with the Apple ecosystem.
   The solution I found was a third-party telepromt software. I then just use the Prompter as a 3rd screen and run the software on that screen. Works well, but it’s another $100/year I wasn’t planning on spending.
   Not sure how I feel about it at this time. Was hoping for an out of the box solution. But after some tinkering, I think it will do the trick. Just know that the software may take some getting used to or just might need to be replace with a different solution.

   Perfect For Video Calls
   I never leave reviews on Amazon products but I am leaving one on this product as I bought one and returned it and the least I can do is leave a review.
   I returned this product because I wanted a larger screen and thought I would go with a Neewer mirror teleprompter and a 12″ tablet. But then I found out that there is no simple way to mirror a screen so that it is “flipped” to work with the mirror and be the correct orientation. Its a way bigger pain that you would think.
   This product has a built-in screen that is already flipped and very simple/easy to set up.

   Genial, ya hice mi primer prueba y todo funciona perfectamente, me gustó mucho, la caja del producto estaba en excelente estado, pero la caja externa de Amazon si estaba muy maltratada, eso si, hizo su función de proteger todo.

    I’m very pleased with the Teleprompter. It’s very bright. It does not seem to dim the light going into the camera as much as I thought. I use a bright lens (Sigma 10-18mm F2.8 on a Sony EV10 II). I’ve not tried the teleprompter software, but I have other software that I like.
    It could be a little bit bigger because I sit farther away from it than my other monitors.

    Does exactly what it promises, even fits over our professional canon CN lenses. Screen is large enough for usage until about 2 meters distance (for my aging eyes :-)). Only downside I see is that the screen is by default on, even when not needed. But you can easily turn it off.

    Devo esser sincero: è un prodotto che non si acquista alla leggera senza averne prima provato uno e online ci sono davvero molte poche recensioni (anche in inglese) che ti spiegano per bene cosa succede quando metti un prompter davanti alla telecamera. Il prezzo è elevato (perché contiene un display, rispetto a quelli su cui devi metter tu un dispositivo e c’è solo uno specchio inclinato) ma l’ho preso in offerta ed ero molto scettico.. in realtà me lo sono tenuto perché è fantastico! La qualità di visione è eccellente, ti permette di registrare contenuti molto lunghi e questo ti consente sia di star dritto alla camera (quindi agli occhi degli altri sei molto più sicuro) e di fare zero pause per leggere (quindi risparmi tantissimo tempo in fase, per esempio, di montaggio del video). Tramite il software puoi regolare velocità, grandezza caratteri, spazi ai bordi ed è estremamente leggibile anche con tanta luce. In confezione ci sono tanti adattatori per gli obiettivi quindi è impossibile non avere la compatibilità con fotocamere più vendute per questi scopi; forse più difficoltoso con quelle piccole o telefoni.
    Negativo: il peso è elevato quindi sbilancia molto la camera e serve un treppiedi con una testa abbastanza robusta. E’ abbastanza ingombrante ed avendo un display mi viene da trattarlo con delicatezza e riporlo al riparo ma appunto occupa spazio. Ma è proprio la grandezza un fattore da considerare, se avete uno studiolo piccolo, lui attaccato avanti alla camera, con un treppiedi: beh occupa davvero tanto spazio rispetto alla sola cam che normalmente tenevo col treppiedi da tavolo. E’ da tener a mente!
    Lo comando con lo stream deck ma servirebbe un telecomando (e ce l’hanno quelli che costano la metà, per lui è una grave mancanza) da tenere in mano oppure un’app sul telefono perché la velocità con cui parli è diversa da una frase all’altra. Avrebbe il riconoscimento del vocale per cui dovrebbe seguire il parlato ma non sono riuscito a farlo funzionare.. un telecomandino da tenere in mano sarebbe stato veramente utile!
    L’app sul pc funziona bene solo che l’ a capo lo riconosce come secondo paragrafo e non c’è verso di rimpicciolire lo spazio interlinea quando va a capo. Scrivendo video per il mio canale youtube weracef1 spesso uso a capo per ricordarmi l’intonazione ma non c’è verso né di fargli capire che si tratta della stessa frase né almeno di rimpicciolire l’interlinea tra un capo e l’altro.
    Viene riconosciuto da Mac e windows come un secondo schermo quindi è possibile legger lì la chat o fare videochiamate vedendo direttamente in camera e questo in alcuni ambiti è eccelso!
    Conclusioni: il prodotto mi piace e non avendo mai provato un prompter mi ha sorpreso. Il prezzo è elevato e per cui mi sarei aspettato (ma secondo me uscirà con la versione 2) un telecomando incluso ed un microfono incorporato al dispositivo così non richiede il mic al pc (che è quello per cui crea conflitto e non funziona bene). Sarebbe utile poi che il display si staccasse da tutto l’attacco così si potrebbe mettere al sicuro senza staccare tutto dalla telecamera. Mi ha svoltato il lavoro e ridotto tanto il tempo perso a togliere le pause, davvero consigliato!

    Sur mon iMac des problèmes sont survenus (redémarrages intempestif etc…) parce que le prompteur était branché sur un hub. Sur une sortie USB directe tous les problèmes disparaissent et cet appareil est une merveille !
