    • Essential Tool for Online Teaching
Size: 17" Tablet/Monitor Prompter
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. ... show more

    • Poor quality construction, limited adjustability. Product not as pictured on Amazon.
Size: 12" Tablet/Monitor Prompter (Pro)
I bought this teleprompter to build into a DSLR video rig for making YouTube videos. I'm using SmallRig components built around a 15mm rail setup, so I thought that this would be a good fit for my camera system. Unfortunately, this unit was disappointing. First, the quality of the GlideGear components leaves a lot to be desired. The fit and finish is nowhere near the quality of other 15mm rail accessories, like SmallRig, Camvate or Niceyrig. The GlideGear's tolerances on these rail components is sloppy and difficult to mix and match with different brands of 15mm accessories. With SmallRig, everything slides together like butter, with this GlideGear unit, you're constantly fighting with the rails to line up with your accessories and mounts. Second, the frame that holds the mirrored glass is flimsy and not even level with the tablet screen. If you're thinking of using this with a shoulder mounted rig, don't bother. The glass bounces all over the place if you move the camera at all. Second the metal is so flimsy, the glass frame is not square relative to the tablet screen. These need to be square with each other, or your reflected text is skewed on an irritating angle. Third, there is no ability to adjust the angle of the glass so that the presenter can easily read the text on the teleprompter. This is a huge flaw, since you need to think first about the teleprompter being at a readable angle before you frame your shot for the video. If you make the framing look good, the teleprompter is at the wrong angle, if you make the teleprompter visible, the composition of your video frame is off. Not cool. This tool is supposed to make your video production easier, not harder. Fourth, the lens hood that is pictured in the Amazon listing is not what is delivered in the box. In fact, all of the Amazon photos should be updated since they don't match the product I received. The lens hood I received was not the nice square fitted unit that is pictured in the photos. It was a sloppy nylon sock that bunched up and would often obscure the corners of the frame if you weren't super careful. Take a look at the product images on Amazon and compare them closely to the customer images posted in the reviews. The hoods don't match, in two photos on the Amazon product listing shows that you can adjust the angle of the mirror. Even the gold hardware in the pics is black when you unbox it in person. Not good. Fifth, the camera mount is badly designed. There is a single 1/4" threaded screw that connects the camera to the platform. It's difficult to tighten down the camera, and there is no option for a second screw to make sure that the camera doesn't twist out of alignment and stays in place. I added a quick release plate to the GlideGear camera mount -- it needs that second screw mount to keep things aligned. The best option would be to scrap the included camera mount completely and replace it with one from Camvate, but that's an extra $60 to get one that works properly. Sixth, The included rails are too short to use with professional lenses. I built this camera/teleprompter rig around a full-frame DSLR, and wanted to be able to use it with my 16-35 f/4 and 24-70 f/2.8 zoom lenses. It works fin with smaller lenses like my 50mm or 85mm prime lens out of the box, but the zooms are what I wanted to use for this project. The included rails are not long enough to fit a mid sized zoom lens, camera body and tablet into this teleprompter. You could buy longer rails, but that's another $30 you'd spend to make it work. Seventh, the bag is junk. It comes with a bag, but it's basically useless. It's awkward to load and unload the teleprompter. Everything flops around when folded flat. It doesn't offer much protection. There are two big pieces of styrofoam floating around inside a cheap zippered bag. It's poorly constructed. This product does work as a teleprompter, however it needs some serious design revisions to make it a quality product. I've returned my teleprompter, and I will be spending more to buy one from a different brand that is designed properly. ... show more

    • Excellent teleprompter solution for use with large smartphone or small tablet.

The Glide Gear TMP50 is a good solution for a teleprompter for solo video recordings. TMP50 is only for smartphones and small tablets as the teleprompter source display. I have found the size of the teleprompter text with a large smartphone to be quite satisfactory for my setup with my Sony ZV-1 camera. You will want to test out ahead of time with your video camera and your setup. (i.e. Can you easily read teleprompter text on your smartphone or small tablet at the distance of your camera and with your desired framing?) The TMP50 works perfectly using a Google Pixel 2 XL smartphone with its 6.0-inch (152 mm) screen as the prompter text source. It also works with a Google Pixel 4a smartphone with its 5.8-inch (148 mm) screen as the prompter text source. The TMP50 allows easy mounting and access to the smartphone including cable access and buttons on the phone sides and back. It's also easy to remove and replace the smartphone to setup more complex operations like navigating app menus. The TMP50 does not work with an 9.7-inch (250 mm) iPad. The iPad fits on the Glide Gear TMP50's support bracket, but the reflecting surface is not big enough to reflect the width of the iPad screen-- see photo. You will need a larger teleprompter such as the TMP100 for use with an 9.7" iPad. I am using the TMP50 with a Sony ZV-1 camera. I've found it necessary to use a bracket to mount the camera centered behind the teleprompter using the TMP50's front-back mounting slot. I'm using the excellent UURig Base Mount Bracket (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08FHV5GZL) which provides optical-axis-aligned 1/4-20 mounting holes. (Smallrig makes a similar product that should work.) Centering the camera is critical for operation of the camera at full wide angle without vignetting or obstruction by the teleprompter and its cloth shroud. The ZV-1 can't be centered in the TMP50 using the ZV-1's built-in off-axis 1/4-20 hole. When the camera is mounted off-center it is has to be mounted skewed about 15-degrees to the teleprompter's center axis to avoid vignetting or obstruction by the teleprompter and its cloth shroud at full wide angle. I don't know how well this will work with the teleprompter effect. In addition to the front-back mounting slot, the TMP50 has a left-right mounting slot to correct the centering of smartphone cameras. But the slot is too close to the half-mirror glass for use with the ZV-1 (and probably most other cameras). (The ZV-1 lens will collide with the teleprompter glass if mounted to the left-right slot.) The ZV-1 view screen can't be flipped to monitor the frame while mounted behind the teleprompter. If you try to view it through the teleprompter you will obscure the teleprompter half-mirror effect making your source text unreadable. But Sony offers smartphone and computer "Imaging Edge" control apps. These allow you to monitor your ZV-1 frame on a computer or smartphone or tablet. (Obviously, you can't use the same smartphone you are using as the teleprompter source text.) This teleprompter doesn't come with a teleprompter text app. I am using the PromptSmart app. It works quite well and will track your voice to follow your script, or you can control scrolling with a PromptSmart remote control app on a second smartphone running the same OS as the PromptSmart app. ... show more
