Glide GearTMP 750 Teleprompter – All Camera & Smartphones, Tablets – 17" Glass, Hard Case, No Assembly

Great addition to my kit!

So good, we bought two!This mid-range teleprompter is not without it's problems, but it's a great value and extremely versatile.PROS:- Big glass- Rigid hood- Flexible camera and device mounting options- Great accessories for mounting more tools- Easier to balance (if you need that) than most fixed telepromptersCONS:- The case is just bad; throw it away and pack the item is something else (it should be noted that the case *does* have pins that help lock it and keep the flimsy plastic in place...but do not use this case to pack in a production truck or ship; it will not hold up).- The glass angle can be adjusted, but there is no stop to keep it from falling into the device holders. Move with care or you will crack the glass if it drops!- The unit takes a while to setup properly.- The documentation isn't horrible, but it isn't great...this shouldn't be a problem for anyone used to working with similar systems.- Not gonna work with wide angles as the tablet is very close to the glass.Alrighty, so unlike some teleprompters, this one has a lot of versatility, but that makes it more complicated. Be prepared to spend a bit of time setting it up and balancing. I've gone through several teleprompters over the years for various companies and projects. This one has the biggest glass in the sort of mid-range prompters, which makes it work with big screens, like an iPad Pro. The standard rails is also nice because in addition to the included mounting accessories, many other "cheese plate" and rail systems are compatible.The unit works great for DSLRs and small cameras. I'd be concerned about placing a very large camcorder on it (like the picture shows) due to the long rails stressing under weight. The versatile height for camera mount and thumb-screw components are great for a range of equipment and (mostly) easy setup and tear-down.

This is a bit too big for a YouTuber or for doing a Zoom meeting at your breakfast table, but perfect for the kind of small/location studio broadcasting I do with a host from 6-8 feet away. Because the printed instructions aren't written or illustrated very well, it's very fiddly to set up the first time but becomes easier after you've done it once or twice. I paired it with a Lilliput A12 field monitor, which is about the same weight and size as an iPad Pro 12.9 (actually with slightly smaller viewable area after correcting for crop), but with the benefit of adjusting to the necessary mirror reversal.Don't rush through the setup even once you know how to do it, because the large glass is cumbersome and fragile. It's advisable to have a quality, sturdy tripod to mount the teleprompter on. I'm not a fan of some other minor things such as the zippers closing the sides of the shade, but overall the device is very good for making adjustments of fit to your monitor and camera.People aren't kidding about the case. The case itself is solid and not trash, but its inexplicably weak clasps don't snap and lock tight enough for anything but putting on a shelf and taking it down. I certainly wouldn't send it through baggage check without strapping or taping it more securely (but even so, who knows how TSA or customs would leave it if they decided to open it up out of your sight?). So get a better case for it if you need to travel hard.PROS:-- Good build quality for the teleprompter itself.-- Easily adjustable.-- Extra rails and clamps for accessories.CONS:-- Poor instructions make first-time setup tricky.-- Weakly-clasped case has limited usefulness.-- Zippers on sides of shade are fiddly.

Have used several Teleprompters over the years. This one is has a great build quality and is easy to set up.Love this!

This is a well built unit, the materials are strong and the glass is great. I got the 17" version and it holds a 17" screen lengthways comfortably. You do need pliers to adjust the thumb screws that hold the glass at an angle or it will slide down on it's weight. I was apprehensive of adjusting the thumb screw with pliers, but customer service was quick to reply and get me on the right track. The 2 screws holding up the glass are the only ones that need pliers, the rest adjust fine with simple thumb pressure.The carrying case is good enough, it's not a tank like the Pelican cases, but it's more than adequate and it's padded properly for its purpose.

The TMP750 is a game-changer for teaching live online Zoom classes. The build is satisfying and high-quality. The best part of using a large, high-quality teleprompter like the TMP750 is my ability to maintain eye contact with my students while delivering lectures. I now have more of an engaging personal connection with my students, more like I'm addressing them directly. This will result in increased engagement and better retention of course material. Teleprompters in general (and specifically, the Glide Gear TMP750 teleprompter) are a must-have for any online college instructor using platforms like Zoom. I can't imagine teaching without it now.

This is a fantastic little prompter, but it’s not designed to work effectively with the camera as depicted in its images. The two pipes that support the camera on the back end are not sturdy enough and tend to torque and wobble side to side. There’s nothing to hold the pipes firmly horizontally so they twist. This is with a Canon C300, which is not particularly large. It works well when mounted on its own stand, but it doesn’t quite meet the promise of being a complete unit. It also limits movement by the camera. If you need this and I do, it is not that great.
