Glide Gear Teleprompter (Autocue) TMP100 Review

[@orange42]

For Android, I use this free app goo.gl/tJzmA2 Promptware Plus. They might also sell physical prompters.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Ha! This is what I've been using on my iPhone forever. Nice app. Didn't find one for the iPad. Thanks for the link - I'll include it in the description. :)

[@maxtonjohan8064]

sorry to be off topic but does someone know a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot my password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.

[@teacherofteachers1239]

I'm glad this video is still available for people to learn from, Kevin, so thorough that I am going to share it with others! My experience with this particular teleprompter is this: after I got my organization to buy it, I found it was so easy, so essential, yet so inexpensive, that I bought one for my own setup, which is just to help out other folks. One detail I only noticed after testing a two-camera setup, with one camera in the teleprompter rig and the other just off to the side a little bit, both pointing at the speaker of course. Same camera make, ISO, aperture. When I saw the two video clips afterward, I noticed the one shooting through the teleprompter glass was noticeably darker. I think about 2/3 of a stop maybe - just enough that the difference looked weird when going from one view to the other in the edit. I had never thought of it before, but this is necessary for the teleprompter glass to do its job. So, from my experience I would say if one's teleprompter shoot is looking a little darker than expected, maybe just open up the aperture a bit. - Dave

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Absolutely. wish I had mentioned this, and a GREAT TIP! Thank you!

[@TarotRosetta]

Thanks for really showing exactly how to set this up. I was looking for a review of the Glide Gear TMP50 (smaller version than yours, but similar product). I love how you hit every question I had about this item. So helpful.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Thank you!

[@delftsurgery4258]

Thank you for the review, Kevin I have experienced there is a huge benefit on using the GlideGear TMP100, the option has helped me a ton to level up my video skills, especially talking heads. I present using the PPT-Mirror tool method to mirror-flip my existing slides and display them in TTL (through the lens) in teleprompter is a definitive guide to master eye contact with clients because I don't have to read word for word as I always have my whole concept in front of camera, I just use bullet points structure to avoid over-scripting myself out to keep my conversation on target... it is a great option that is helpful in delivering professional narration.

[@alantuttphotography]

Was already looking at one of these, and your review gave me the nudge I needed to get it. So far, have only worked with it for a day, but already liking it. The only issue I'm having (and it may be the DVX200 I'm using with it) is that once I get a decent framing, one edge of the tablet screen cannot be seen. So far, this hasn't really been an issue -- just something I didn't expect. Just need to insert a couple of blank lines at the start of the script to compensate. The other thing I'm finding is that when preparing the text file for the teleprompter software, you really have to think about where your pauses are going to be, and insert a blank line so the talent can pause as needed. Also finding that using symbol characters (such as quotes, asterisks, parenthesis, dashes, carets, etc.) can help to indicate where some words and phrases can be emphasized differently and thus "script" intonation changes. Now, I just need to practice enough to be comfortable looking away and using more body language as I'm reading the script.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Yes, practice is key. I ALWAYS read and edit my scripts out loud to myself so I know whether it's too slow, too fast, needs some breaks, I need to add 10 or 20 lines at the front to give me time to get in front of the camera, yada, yada, yada. I practice it a LOT and since I write and practice it (outside non the deck having a coffee or something), I pretty much know what is coming up, and can look away and look more natural when doing it. If you need any help, this 3 year old video may help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKubYZSbna6csNU

[@thandikalkop8961]

Hi Kevin, That TMP100 helps ton, and I have experienced that using slides has levelled up my videos skills than scripts, because I always have the whole concept in mind and I don't follow word-for-word therefore I maintain eye contact and speak freely with viewers on camera.

[@michaelpoczynek]

Looks awesome, Kevin. Purchased! Have a great day!

[@BarakaPDub]

Have you tried it with a Green Screen? I have heard that it might be harder to pull a good key when shooting through another piece of glass at an angle. Just curious what your experience has been.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

I have not, but it seems to me you would notice a difference in exposure or something and if that was the case be able to correct it. I haven’t seen anything like that, and it might also be dependent on whether the glass used was high quality or not.

[@BarakaPDub]

@@BasicFilmmaker Thanks for the quick reply as I'll probably spring for one of these for a work related project. I am aware of losing about an F/T stop worth of light but that doesn't bother me so much. I did read there was some artifacts or aberration that was introduced around the subject but I'm glad to hear you didn't seem to encounter that issue. The last thing I want is to solve one problem but introduce another.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

BarakaPDub True that. You also have the cheap route. Mount a vertical phone RIGHT NEXT to the lens and using a telepromptng app...no issues there. 👍

[@BudieyChannel]

Thank you, Sir. I bought one already

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Good choice! Takes a little practice but works.

[@TheNicoleSanchez]

Great information, thank you. Will this work with a phone or only an iPad?

[@BasicFilmmaker]

YayOrNayNicole both, but iPad or device preferred. I would suggest you mount a phone next your lens and get an iPhone TelePrompter app, and see if this works for you, then if so, buy something like this.

[@TheNicoleSanchez]

I’m just afraid if I don’t put it in front of my lens that is going to look like I’m not looking at the camera lens. The product description says it works with an iPhone. I’m just kind of in a hurry and I can pick this up tomorrow to make it work and then get an iPad down the line. Would that work at all with the phone or is the phone too small? 😊

[@BasicFilmmaker]

The phone would work, a bit small but you'd be OK. BTW...I use the phone as a teleprompter. The trick is to mount it (or tuck it) right next to the lens so it still looks like you're looking at the camera. This works if you're like 5 or 6 feet away. If you're really close to the camera, like 2 feet, it doesn't. I'm not trying to talk you out of this teleprompter, it's just a whole new piece of tech, and you'll have to learn about mounting it properly and all that, and that doesn't include the practice needed to pull it off. If you work in a stationary studio, and not moving the camera a lot, this will work. Let me know if you have any questions.

[@TheNicoleSanchez]

You are SO INCREDIBLY helpful! I’m probably about 4 feet from my camera but I could move it back further. I’ll try that. Do you recommend placing it higher or lower, left or right, of the lens? What is your favorite Teleprompter app for the iPhone? This teleprompter is on sale right now for $99 at Fry’s so I may just order it and figure it out after this project. I was worried about getting the whole thing set up today also. Or do you recommend some other brand now? I want something that will work well, be reliable and I don’t mind spending a little bit more right now but it’s pretty much going to be stationary so I don’t need to break the bank with something that’s made for portability.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

I would place the phone vertically just left or right of the lens, the middle of the phone equal to the center of the lens. I use a phone holder and clamp it to the tripod to adjust just perfectly, I use this free app simply called Teleprompter. I write the script and when I'm done, I email it to myself. Then I copy all the text, and paste it into the app. Next I run it, adjust the size of the text so I can see it, then adjust the speed and read it out loud until it feels right. If you mess up, cool, stop, back it up, and start again at a good point, then just edit the audio with a cut, or if doing a video, edit with a jump cut, or place some photo or zoom a bit to make it look right. Sounds a lot hard than it is, but as you do it, the lightbulb will go off after some practice and it will be a piece of cake.

[@firetogaproductions190]

Great video, that free Duo app is perfect. Basic, and does what you need it to do. No unlockable features, no looking at yourself talking. Just prompting with the few settings you need. I found 0 reliable information on google, and then watched 5 videos with people telling me to buy $20 apps. I downloaded 1 and it was so horrible, then I downloaded the one in your video and I stopped searching. You saved me hours of research. I'm thinking about getting the prompter as well, but not sure how much I'd use it, so still pondering that, but if I do, I know what app to use and how easy it will be to use the prompter.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Thanks. Yeah, I searched a LOT until I found this. I use it a lot now on my phone. It's not perfect, but does the job.

[@yrbadself]

Do you have to adjust your lighting when doing green screen with the teleprompter?

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Not much at all, if any. If you’re referring to reflection from the teleprompter of green, no, as it’s at 45 degrees. If I misunderstood the question, let me know.

[@yrbadself]

@@BasicFilmmaker That is one part. I use the GreenScreener (thanks for that input) to look for hot spots. I didn't know if using a teleprompter would change how you use that.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

I don’t think so. I think you’re talking about possibly losing a stop or something of light through the Teleprompter? I haven tried it, but I don’t think it’s enough to affect anything. I would certainly test it it, and if so, just set your exposure up just a tad.

[@thomasgoodge7059]

I recently bought the TMP100 for my canon eos rebel t7i but it shows a lot of the hood. I see your camera had a base the elevated it to more of the middle of the glass and was wondering what it was as it appears to put it at the perfect height to have an unobstructed view through the teleprompter.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Hmmm...I think you might be seeing the battery grip on my camera.

[@thomasgoodge7059]

Battery grip...man I was hoping it would be something I could use to elevate my camera. Thank you for the quick reply!

[@BasicFilmmaker]

It's cool. A block, or a block of wood like a 2x4 or something can do the same thing. Heck, you could use a couple of legos. :)

[@thomasgoodge7059]

I will figure out something. Thank you!

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Hey Thomas! You could get a battery grip. I have them on all my cameras.I never have to unmount my camera to replace batteries, it takes two batteries and works with optional AC Adapters. For instance, for my 5D, the original manufacturer unit is nearly $300 (like this one amzn.to/2N8G8ZH) , but then there's one for $36: amzn.to/2EdPrEI . Just a thought. If you do come up with some DIY solution, let me know, I'd love to see it. Good luck!

Thanks Martin!

[@BenJordan]

Can it be adjusted for angles other than 45 degrees?

[@BasicFilmmaker]

It can be adjusted, although I would practice to see if it works for you with a phone ap first.

[@WarrenHenry]

Thanks for sharing. The timing of this video is perfect.👍🏾

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Great! Thanks Warren!

[@andrinissac]

Which is the best software for a teleprompter

[@BasicFilmmaker]

IN this video example, I mention the DuoPrompter, and include a link in the description, as it's free and it will flip the screen (necessary). Now what is the BEST software? That depends on what you are willing to pay and what kind of device you have. There are teleprompter apps that try to follow your voice, though I haven't seen any that do it well.

[@DavidHargis]

Thanks for review. I just ordered one.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Great! I think you’ll enjoy it. If not already experienced, remember this teleprompting thing takes some practice. 👍

[@rathernotsay1179]

Hi there, How would this teleprompter go if I was to attach a microphone - Rode Videomic Pro - to the top of my camera? I am worried the black cloth will obstruct my microphone. Also, my camera - Fuji X-r200 - has a fully articulating screen that comes out on the side, will this be obstructed? Many thanks!

[@BasicFilmmaker]

With your set up I don’t suggest using this method of Teleprompter as you won’t see the articulating screen and you will block the microphone. Most larger productions use the Teleprompter box like this and the microphone is over the talent and not on the camera. I would highly suggest you use something like a phone app To start. Are use an app simply called Teleprompter. You just get the phone vertically running and get it as close to the lens as possible so you’re not looking off camera and no one seeing your eyeballs move back-and-forth. I hope that helps.

[@foxcatcher40]

Bought this last week, love it paired with that app!!!

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Awesome!

[@peoplelikeus3684]

If you use a top-mount on-camera shotgun microphone, where do you mount it when the camera is in the Tmp 100 promptbox? Any ideas?

[@BasicFilmmaker]

You would have to rig the mic using a magic arm or on top of the box.

[@b.d.4281]

oh wow really cool, just got this but it kinda limits the lens i want to use, what is a safe distance and lens to work with this TMP100?

[@BasicFilmmaker]

I've used this on a Canon 5D Mark III with battery grip and a 24-105 zoom lens, seems OK. Not sure about a really long lens, but that being said, you can always test it without the hood cover and use something else, and, it might just be that your shooting doesn't need it.

[@FranciscoAlvarezTV]

How far away would you say you’d have to be in order to be perceived personally as opposed to be noticed you’re reading (in feet)?

[@BasicFilmmaker]

There's two factors here. One is the distance, and that is a factor. 5 Feet? It really depends on your setup. The other factor is how large the text is. This older video may help you with this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKubYZSbna6csNU

[@ShortCircuitedBrewers]

Nice review. Looks like a great product for the price / value. I think the greatest part of the video is the advice you give in the end, too many people get hung up on the gear. Best thing to do is take what you have and use it. I look at my equipment as tools to make the videos that I use and I lost a lot of gear envy after that.. there's always a better camera a better something but if you never use it what's the point!! Thanks for the video!

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Thanks Brian. Cool channel you got there! kzbin.info

[@samiayyat6392]

fantastic review. i wonder if there is a spot on that teleprompter to mount a a monitor larger to see the subject better for the Glasses wearing folks.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

I don’t remember seeing one, but could certainly be rigged that way.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

p.s. If you aren’t used to teleprompting, download an app for your phone and mount it next to the camera lens to practice. Some people discover they don’t like it after they spend the money. 👍

[@rahulsundaresan218]

Why do you use the battery grip on the camera? Didn't you use external power supplies for everything?

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Hey Rahul! I do use external power that plugs into the camera (through the grip), but when I unmount the camera to go shoot, I use the grip as it holds two batteries, and give me a lot of shooting time. There's no reason for me to take them on and off, and in fact, GLideGear's page says this shouldn't be used with a battery grip, so I also wanted to see if it would work with one, and it did. Thanks!

[@FamilyofTech]

I cant get to read from the teleprompter is all backwards or sideways. I dont know. How am I supposed to see the text before I set it down on the glide gear? I have moved the ipad in every direction and I still cant get to see the text straight the way i could read it

[@BasicFilmmaker]

TelePrompters use an app. They are free for most phones and smart devices. Download one, that does a flip, and paste in the script. Then use the app to flip it backwards and you’ll be good to go.

[@FamilyofTech]

@@BasicFilmmaker thanks. I just downloaded the one you mentioned on my ipad pro and now is working. Thanks god I didn't pay for the full version of the one that i had. Thumbs up! SUB TO YOUR CHANNEL

What size iPad do you recommend for this prompter?

I use an iPad Pro, but it doesn't really matter as it's adjustable.

[@BarefootMediaTV]

i got one of the glidegear ones so I could put it on a rig and move while using it. but the glidegear teleprompter doesnt angle right so I have to have the camera almost facing the ceiling for the viewer to read it.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

I've notified GlideGear of the problem they have with the TMP500 mentioned by another user, which is a rail system. The TMP100 shouldn't be a problem. It's hard to see what's happening with your rig in a comment, but send me some photos of what's going on to [e-mail] and maybe I can help.

I wonder the same thing I always wonder when I watch these teleprompter reviews... How wide can I go with it? Also. Not being able to see the flip out screen and the tube hiding the zoom n focus rings are a bit disconcerting... Hmmm

[@BasicFilmmaker]

How wide? Not sure I get that. Yes, the tube is a thing. Best suggestion? Mount an iPhone or iPad next to the lens and download a teleprompter app.

[@williamseow3142]

whats the difference between TMP100 v TMP500?

[@BasicFilmmaker]

The main difference is the height adjustability of the camera platform.

[@mikewasyluk2092]

Hey!! Thanks for such a great video. What’s that shoe that you have attached to the bottom of your camera that elevates it?

[@mikewasyluk2092]

I think I’ve discovered it’s a battery grip. Does an accessory exist that would elevate the camera without the battery part. I’m tying to get the lens in the middle of the glass.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Let me check

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Sure. You can use a quick release plate (or anything really). Even a block of wood that would elevate the cam and with a long enough screw.

[@TheFilmLook]

We've been looking for a teleprompter for a while. There's only so much text we can memorise! This one looks pretty nifty. How far away from the camera do you stand? Our studio is super small and don't want to get that eye-reading-flicker-ness.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

I stand about 6 feet from the lens. The solution is to make the text big enough so you can take it all in and not have to have eye-reading-flicker-ness-syndrome. :)

[@WORTHITORNOT]

Very nice and looks very easy to use.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

[@ScaredDawgProductions]

Currently I put my camera right above my computer, and I have my wireless mouse in my hand out of frame. It works, but a teleprompter would be so much better and my eyes would be more directly at the camera. Thanks for this review. 🎶"Here he comes to save the day ..."🎶

[@marilynmejia2002]

How did you mount it onto the tripod with those little screws sticking out in the front? I'm having a really hard time sliding the plate on and found that the only way I could do it was mounting it backwards on the tripod.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

I made sure the quick release plate was mounted all the way to the rear and it was fine for me.

[@idealynx]

Hey Kevin, I'm getting ready to pick one of these up based on your review. It's been about six months since you reviewed the TMP100. Are you still happy with it?

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Hey Kelly. I am happy with it, BUT, I think before you buy, you should take your phone or iPad and get an ipad for teleprompting, and see if it works for you. You might not like teleprompting, and i don't want you to waste your money. If it works for you, and you want this setup after trying it, then yes, go for it.

[@idealynx]

I already have an iPad, so we're good there. My client will actually be using the teleprompter, because of some of the problems you outlined in your video. Namely, remembering lines and staying focused. I think we're going to give it a shot and see how it goes.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Cool. Ah - it's for a client. Yes, this will not only help them a lot, but make you look a lot more pro. Remember, they're going to need to practice it - don't just throw them in front and start filming, or they'll get flustered, unless they are already familair with teleprompting. Good luck.

[@idealynx]

Yes, that's what I had planned on doing. Unfortunately, they have never used a teleprompter before. Are there any tricks to getting them up to speed? Should I purchase a teleprompter remote or will that just make it more confusing?

[@BasicFilmmaker]

A remote is OK, but unless the person using it has some experience, it will make them look like the viewer doesn't have their attention, which they don't cause the person is busy trying to operate the remote. Having someone else do it is OK, but if you're too busy doing that, you'll not be paying attention to the person being filmed. You want the teleprompter to just scroll how the person is going to talk. Too fast and they looked rushed. Too slow and they look like a lazy idiot. You need to work with the on-camera person and have them go through it multiple times until they are comfortable. They need to be trained to not STARE at the text scrolling by, and be familiar enough with what is going to be said that they feel comfortable looking away once in a awhile. There's a lot to this.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

@@JoaquinLomeliJr With out without a teleprompter, you'll need a flip out screen or a separate monitor to see how you're framed. The text scrolls in front of the lens. No idea where you got that from but it's not true. Probably someone who is using improperly.

[@thatsaloadofcrap]

Thanks... Definitely requires hours of practice I've tried it a couple of times, not super successful.... it's WORK. I didn't know what gear or what tablet software, so thanks, I check out some of the links. For DSLR video shooters, If you have a Sony, you don't miss a thing.... If you have a Panasonic, you just hid your flip out screen.... I'd recommend the Panasonic Image app on your phone or tablet, for run n gun. Otherwise, you also need a camera operator or an external monitor Question: How much does this affect lighting? Subject & Greenscreen? the mirror must keep some light from hitting the lens

[@WillKetcherII]

I know it's not about the gear but think a few things are essential like a microphone which I NEED

[@BasicFilmmaker]

True that. Either spend the bucks on something good, or better yet, take what you have and figure out how to get the best sound possible with it. Shooting with an iPhone? Get a cheap lapel and get that mic closer to the talent, for example.

[@LarnedJustin]

Looks a little bit difficult to frame yourself in the shot, since you cannot see the LCD screen.

[@JohnDoe-oj8dz]

I would just use a monitor. I already have one because I have a Sony A7RII

[@orange42]

wifi app much better to frame, focus, and start/stop recording. Don't want to be too close to the camera on these or there is too much lateral movement in your eyes.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

True that Orange.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

For sure a monitor if you have one.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Hey Larned! That's true. It's pretty easy to set up a light stand, or string and ball, or whatever to be your stand in for framing and focus. I actually prefer that as although being in front of the camera and focusing on the eyes remotely is the way to go, you are hoping the camera does it's auto-focus job correctly. It's easier and usually pretty much on, but I try and use a stand-in, as there's nothing worse than spending an hour shooting something and getting it into editing and finding out the camera didn't quite get the focus correct.

[@BocarandaElShow]

Hey Andreas! It is a bit expensive. I have a personal rule of not buying stuff that is cheap, as I end up spending ten times that much replacing broken stuff, and always looking for something better. For this channel, I try not to review cheap stuff for the same reason. IT'S SO COOL to have people all over the world communicating to each other! BTW...GREAT CHANNEL! The videos are really nice and sharp. What do you shoot these with?

[@offgridsweden]

Basic Filmmaker Thanks for the answer. I shoot with Hc-vx870 and now also with my new HC-X1, so in that perspective the teleprompter is not so expensive. I was able to get the HC-X1 at a third of the retail price. Otherwise I would never been able to buy it. It is an amazing camera.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Very nice camera. Wouldn't mind that deal. :) At some point I'll be bringing in camcorders to the show when they are more affordable.

[@DamianBrown]

I do think a teleprompter would speed things up for me though. Lately I've committed stuff to writing to stop me rambling and forgetting stuff that keyboard warriors like to remind me I forgot. I think ad lib but with prompts would work nice for me. Some channels are clearly read and others, I guess like yours, you would never know they used a prompter... the whole point :D Hey Glide Gear.. you need review from a different side of your market ;)

[@BasicFilmmaker]

It can help a lot, but the best is the practice. You can also just hold up or keep out of view a list of bullet points to cover, and glance over at it once in a while to make sure you aren't off topic.

Basic Filmmaker I've tried a few methods of having my phone close to the lens and I use a black page with lighter text to avoid reflections when I wear shades... Tho I do have one video I actually graded a few clips a shade darker to hide my eyes glancing upwards before I realised putting the notes to the side was better. Another time a phone holder failed and my iPhone screen smashed! I think the result is in a recent video. It's been good practice making notes though and does help me be more productive when I've got multiple deadlines. I have to shoot a piece tomorrow and I have notes to keep it concise. If I get more weeks like this I'll invest in the prompter... if it's good with a 21mm equivalent lens

[@BasicFilmmaker]

It should work. Try it all, notes, phone teleprompter, offf the cuff, etc. It's all good practice and you'll only get better.

Q: Are you using this on your own!?

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Not sure I understand the question. On my own, as by myself and no one else? Yes.

[@성난오리]

Basic Filmmaker i meam by yourself*

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Yes, almost everything I do on this channel I do by myself.

Basic Filmmaker great. This teleprompter seems very useful when it comes to make speeches in front of my camera. Do u know if the other youtubers also use this to make their official videos?? And did u use telepromter to make this video?

[@BasicFilmmaker]

I did not use the teleprompter to make this video but have used it. I would suggest using a phone or pad teleprompter and getting experience using it, then if it works out for you, get this one.

thank you!

the bad thing is that you don't sound natural if you are reading everything that you have to say. and if you mess up reading or it goes faster than you can read, you can get lost and you don't know what to say next

[@BasicFilmmaker]

It takes practice, and once you have it it's really easy. If you are writing the script, reworking it to cut it down, and making it so it's understandable, by the time you're teleprompting, it's pretty much a no brainer. The keys are here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKubYZSbna6csNU But hey! If it's not for you, it's not. :)
