Look Zoom callers in the eye! How to use a teleprompter for the ultimate Zoom call setup.

[@aaronpk]

🤯 I thought my teleprompter setup was perfectly fine until I saw this one! So many things I didn't know I needed in a teleprompter

[@photojoseph]

Haha awesome… that’s what I’m… here for? 😝

[@BugBobsWildWorld]

You both are doing that to me constantly! 😊

I built an entire cabinet to house a full size 24inch monitor and a high quality pane of beamsplitter glass. With a Decimator MD-HX to flip the image on the monitor it seamlessly integrates as a monitor with the camera in behind. Great for online meetings. Been doing this for over a year now. I’m using my Canon C70 as the webcam tied into an Atem Extreme and a Mixpre-iii for the audio interface. Yes overkill but when you want to work remotely, i try to make the experience of the meeting as close to being there in person. The atem allows me to connect an ipad to act as a virtual whiteboard, and do picture in picture so folks can still see my face while the ipad is the active camera.

[@photojoseph]

Now that’s doing it properly!! Sounds epic man. Well made!! I actually used a decimator on my previous setup. May put it back in play here with a new portable monitor. It was an elegant solution for sure.

[@carpetbomberz]

That rubber collar is a NICE touch. Oh and rails too! Put any lens you want on that thing and never worry about the balance.

[@photojoseph]

💯!! Exactly yeah. It’s a slick rig for sure. SmallRig did it right.

[@mondobytes]

That's nice! I hate teleprompters but this one looks really well thought out.

[@photojoseph]

Hey man! Yeah this one is well designed for sure. Makes it easy to use one when you want to!

🇬🇧 Love the subtle camera slider. Unless it was done in post then I got fooled 😂. Good to see you again making videos my guy. Hope you and your fam are settling in well and we can’t wait for a very long studio tour.!!!!

[@photojoseph]

Haha not fooled, there was a slider! Not sure how effective it was but, YOU noticed! 😅 Thank you and yeah… the studio tour is a big one.

[@mikegrone3364]

Now i want one... THX! 🤣 Greetings from 🇦🇹

[@photojoseph]

Awesome!!

[@alonzojt]

🇮🇹Nice(small)rig indeed. I have a similar one and Besides the iPad I’m using a Neway CK1016S(you may also find it with another brand but it’s the same monitor).It has perfect size for that, both SDI and HDMI ins with loop through outputs, good quality and more importantly Flip function.

[@photojoseph]

Whoah really! The only valid search result for that is on an Italian store; maybe it’s an old model. I’ll do some digging because that would be awesome!

[@derbybOyzZ]

This video was great. Love your mounting solution for the prompter. What I'm trying to understand is what would be the optimal camera for a teams/zoom call as their res is limited to 1080p 60 if I recall correctly? I've heard that some cameras in the lower price range use something called lineskipping when using 1080p rather than 4k. I plan to just leave the camera attached to the computer and buy a more expensive body later down the line for videography. Alternatively, I wonder if there was a video conferencing software that is peer to peer that I could use for a better video feed with clients. Although using that I would lose many of the benefits of zoom/teams.

[@howardchud9097]

I’m using the Parrot teleprompter whereby I just email my script then copy it to the Parrot software. A bit clunky but gets the job done.

[@photojoseph]

That’s cool but this video isn’t about using a teleprompter as a teleprompter …

[@BugBobsWildWorld]

Nicely done! 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 Looks like a nice solid piece of equipment. I recently got one of those Padcasters from a Kickstarter (after waiting almost a year) and the glass is substandard, causing the words to be all blurry. I recently invested in the Elgato Prompter and have been generally happy with how it works. Did my first interview yesterday without any trouble, and it is controlled by foot pedal.

[@photojoseph]

Very cool and bummer about the padcaster. I heard there was a lot of 💩 around that.

[@GaryStockton]

@@photojoseph I ended up adding one of those SmallRig prompters for those times when I just want to setup in another location, it's a really great piece of equipment. I added the rail mount using your link.

[@photojoseph]

@GaryStockton awesome! And thanks ☺️

[@eddyalvarenga]

I installed the Elgato Teleprompter nd even looking at the camera it does not look like I am looking directly at people's eyes. That is so weird and I tried everything from the camera angle to looking for a software issue but nothing. Still looks like I am not looking at the camera.

[@photojoseph]

That’s kinda weird. I haven’t used the elgato but it’s basically the same thing. Is the camera centered in the teleprompter? Make sure the lens is where people’s eyes would be.

[@leonardboyer7601]

No offense intended, but why anyone who is using a computer would go through all that hassle to put together a teleprompter when the Elgato Prompter works smoothly right out of the box is beyond me.

[@photojoseph]

Well, I’d never used the elgato. I actually just bought one and it’s pretty good!

Apple only, eh?

For the iPad; yeah. No idea if windows can do that to Android tablets? But certainly a USB/HDMI display will work on windows.

Hi sir , I have a question for you. You make very good videos, and I would like to make similar ones as well. However, in my country, I don't have the opportunity to do this. I would like to ask you to please send me a Panasonic Lumix DC-BGH1, Cinematic 4K camera. It would be a great help for me, and I would be very grateful. Thank you.
