This is probably the best DIY teleprompter I have ever seen on KZbin. It gets the job done, and yet is simple, portable and durable! Great job!

[@Soarpix3D]

Thanks!

[@buckobvious]

Elegantly simple and the video is exceptionally well produced. No words needed. Just brilliant design and minimalist execution.

[@Soarpix3D]

Thank you! =)

[@nitrousman8882]

without a doubt, this is a great bit of industrial design for the home shop! Thanks Doug

[@Soarpix3D]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it =)

[@runnermix7596]

The BEST video DIY on KZbin how to make a TelePrompter !!!!!!!! Awesome!

[@Soarpix3D]

Thanks! =)

[@iamhandy-man]

This is really the finest design I've found for a DIY teleprompter and quite an excellent video showing its assembly. Thank you for sharing your excellent work with us; I am grateful.

[@Soarpix3D]

Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you liked it =)

[@iamhandy-man]

@@Soarpix3D Oh, I truly did. I'll be heading to a thrift shop this morning to try to find an appropriate-sized frame. It's going to be a fun build!

[@ReinerKnudsen]

Definitely the best version of all the DIY teleprompters. Thanks for sharing!

[@Soarpix3D]

Thanks! Glad you liked it! =)

[@hughdman]

Thank you for the excellent video! I especially like using a tee shirt as it is more stretchable than normal black cloth.I found this the perfect project for a rainy day.I am modifying the design to include what is called "tee-nut". This will go thru the plywood bottom and allow mounting the whole thing to a tripod or lighting stand. Thanks again!

[@4WLEX]

Definitely the best. I’ll make one my self, but trying to avoid tools.

[@DecentralEyes]

I just cannot believe how far we have come with technology. Compare this, an iPhone 8 and EMI 2001 studio camera's at the BBC in the 1970's

[@DaveMillman]

Wow, this is so much cleaner and tighter than the cardboard box versions out there. Awesome!

[@Soarpix3D]

Thanks! Glad you liked it! =)

[@thandikalkop8961]

Well done.... According to teleprompter Apps, Slides with bullet points is the best with the lead of being natural and maintaining eye contact on camera because you don't read word for word instead of script. "No special software needed" just have to mirror-flip the slides and good to go!

[@Soarpix3D]

Thanks!

[@HomeOnTheHitch]

Great diy - best I’ve seen. Gonna put this together I ordered beam splitter glass. The rest I have laying around. So should be around 45 bucks total. Than you for the idea !

Where did you order your beam splitter glass from?

yup, just like they all said down delow. best DIY on youtube ive seen. looks like you could even sell it. ive seen some for 1300 which is insane.

[@markmcewen3959]

Bravo. Your video is clear and concise - any person who should be trying to make a DIY teleprompter (some people are just meant to buy retail) can easily follow the process. Många tack.

[@techlitindia]

Awesome, cheap to make but quality will be great. The only problem would be to fix this in a light weight tripod.

[@yourtubess142]

I really like your editing. This is the only reason why I watch your videos! Keep it up 🙌

[@rogerpaulmills118]

I found this interesting to watch. I am building one using a Siemens LCD Screen off an older computer. My choice of the screen was motivated by it's construction, it is very sturdy. I got some beam splitter glass from a local supplier and put it into a picture frame (as you did). The screen was slightly deeper than the frame and I mounted the frame with hinges against a piece of wood, which is held in place by two adjustable clamps with wing nut screws. I like the idea of a T shirt to make the blackened enclosure, but I used black felt and trimmed it to size. The components including glass and frame cost in the region of U$40.00. I run the autocue section off a laptop. The screen size allows me to position myself quite a distance from the presenter and I can adjust the size of the characters to suit the reader. I used to use an older autocue with a CRT monitor in the past, so this one is considerable lighter. I am just welding a bracket to hold the construction in place on one of my Sachtler tripods. Your video is great

[@ElBeeEss]

Thanks so much for this brilliant step-by-step... I've just made one following your video and I can't believe it; I'm stoked! I made mine a little differently in that I made it out of two picture frames and covered the hardboard backing of the bottom one in black velvet as a nice non-scratchy bed for my iPad. Then I just used two short bolts instead of the full-length threaded bar. Ginormous hug from me! x

Great! Glad you liked it =)

OMG this is great- and quality video production btw- hey aside- do u sell these like on etsy or direct or Shopify etc? What size ipad most perfectly fits in there? Why no need to spritz tinting on the glass to optimize the one-way/two way 'ness? Thanks.

best DIY teleprompter I've seen. Thanks for sharing your idea. Easy and genial :)

[@johannhulox2180]

many thanks! brilliant DIY video. result is perfect. :-)

[@Alonsomazinisoler]

Thanks for the tip! I set up my TP as instructed and I have a problem: The projection on the glass is blurred, with shadows on the letters. I have already changed the position and height of my tablet, but it remains the same. Was there a solution? Any adjustments to the TP? Was it due to the type of glass? About sewing a T-shirt, I found it easier to staple with a stapler. Greetings from Brazil - 2020, covid19 quarantine

[@Soarpix3D]

Thanks for your comment! There will be double reflection when using regular glass. I do not think it is very disturbing if you are not too close to the teleprompter. Otherwise you have to use a special beam splitter glass.

[@amsterdamclogvlog]

Smart design! Thank you.

The best of it all, well done very informative video Sir Maybe also interesting i found an app that converts ppt slides for ipad and immediate use the iPad in prompter with the text displayed mirrored-flipped,what do you think about using powerpoint in a prompter? all the best keep up good work

[@carbonsu]

This is fantastic! Thanks for the video!

[@Soarpix3D]

I'm glad you liked it! =)

[@delftsurgery4258]

I have experienced that the PPT Mirror tool plan that converts Powerpoint Presentation slides into teleprompter software has an ultimate guide to keep eye contact and sound natural on camera than other apps that forces you to read word for word..

[@drekberg]

Görsnygg teleprompter. Min amerikanska flickvän visade mig den här videon och sa på skoj att en sån perfektionist måste vara svensk. Det ligger väl i generna.

Dear Soarpix, Thank you for this tutorial I have tried this method and it worked! But I saw double text in my selfmade Teleprompter. How can I fix this? Thank you! Greetings from Holland

[@Soarpix3D]

Hi, You can use beam splitter glass but it is more expensive. I use regular glass so I also have a bit of double text but I don't think it is disturbing if you take a step backwards and make the letters bigger.

[@A-Day-With]

[@dreamingrightnow1174]

Very nicely done.. only I'm confused why not just prop up your ipad in that beautiful stand you just made? Why do the glass and cover?

[@Soarpix3D]

Thanks for your comment! The whole idea of a teleprompter is that you can read the script reflected on the glass while looking straight into the camera behind the glass. =)

[@dreamingrightnow1174]

@@Soarpix3D Thanks for explaining that.. Obviously I'm not a content provider, lol. Your design is next level, though, and I enjoyed it for that reason alone. Function and form: 10/10.

[@alecsismihailescu2443]

Really well done 👍🏻 Id made it too

[@MaxoticsTV]

Very, very nice video and build. Although your design is the best, there's another option if someone doesn't have the tools/material to do the aluminum angling bar. You can cut out 2 small triangles (wood, foam-core, whatever), and tape-hinge them to the platform and turn them up-right so they hold the glass at a 45-degree angle. When you put it away, you just fold them back down. In other words, you keep the glass up using two 45-degree shims. Again, great video!

[@Soarpix3D]

Hi Maxotics! Thanks! That's also a great idea. I actually made something similar at first. You can see one of my triangles at 02:19 =)

What thickness are the 2 flat pieces of wood you glued to the picture frame? Also, what angle did you open up the teleprompter to to mark where the threaded rod would rest? Thanks. Very helpful video!

[@ChandraSekhar-en3um]

Dear sir i using different types of glass after I see this video... But all are unsuccessful.. Every glass are showing the text shadow .... Can you explain which glass use for it... Otherwise send me link to buy the glass.. ... I have already spend 1500 rs but I am not able to..

[@Soarpix3D]

You can use beam splitter glass but it is more expensive. I use regular glass (the one that came with the frame) so I also have a bit of double text but I don't think it is disturbing if you zoom in the lens, take a step backwards and make the letters bigger. A thin glass make less double reflection.
