Professional & Portable Easy Teleprompter for Tablet/Tab/Smartphone/DSLR Video Camera. Adjustable Camera Base, Glass & Tab Holder. Quick Tripod Mounting, Hand Gloves, Sunhood + Bag (FC-TP-EZ)

Building was surprisingly good !!!You will not regret buying this

It came packaged great. There is a QR code on the teleprompter that leads you to assembly instructions. Assembly was quick and easy once I figured out how to connect it to my tripod. However when I connected the mount to use my iPhone for recording I ran into problems. The mount isn’t high enough and the teleprompter is in the frame of my video. I have an iPhone 13 mini. This really defeats the purpose. Sadly if I can’t figure out a work around I’ll have to return it.

This teleprompter works OK once you get it setup so that it works with your other equipment.

Not sure why a lot of people complain about how to put this product together, but it is super easy. Simply look at the amazon pictures and you'll get it The product does the job, its a pretty good quality considering the amount it costs and it is a bargain! :) Thank you!

First off- this unit for $50 is actually a pretty solid deal. If you just need a light duty prompter of this specific size, it's definitely the best deal currently if you have your own tablet or monitor to use with it.That said- the construction is mostly plastic. There are some nice metal pieces but the part I am expecting to fail is, arguably, the most important part of this thing- the parts which mount on the rails.The clamping components which hold everything to the rails are made of plastic... it's thick plastic but... it's still plastic. There are already some stress cracks showing just from basic tightening/adjustment.The glass frame is held at angle by two super thin plastic pins which match two small holes... these parts are, again, plastic and I would honestly expect this hinge and retention design to fail if you ever bumped the glass from the top.I modified mine to use a 10 inch LCD monitor I have which involved removing the tablet holder. The tablet holder seems like the most robust component made of plastic in the entire box.The camera riser is an odd one... it slots into a channel in the back of one of the rail mounts... it seems set up for a vertical adjustment feature.... but this channel has a hard stop at the bottom of the channel so... you can't go up at all from "standard" and you can't go down unless you slide the guide out of the channel on the bottom which cants the entire camera mount on an angle and places extra pressure on the rail mount component.Overall, for $50, this suited my needs- all I really needed was the glass and its hinge mechanism which, while I don't trust the hinge here to survive, that's an easy component to build out whenever it fails. The glass provides a clear reflection of the teleprompter monitor and that's really all I needed of it.My best advice would be if you intend to get this... set it up and then never adjust it unless you absolutely have to. Don't put it away, don't take it places with you and, if you do, be super careful with the hinge retention pins. There are better all metal designs but the price points are usually way higher so, if you can swing it, maybe get one of those... but if you're just starting out with a home studio which needs a teleprompter- this could be great for you.

I was almost dissuaded from buying this teleprompter because of the negative reviews. Upon further investigation, most of the negative reviews concern the difficulty of the assembly. This is baffling because not only was the teleprompter extremely easy to assemble, but the PDF instructions are posted for download right on the product page here on Amazon. As for performance, I am using a BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k with SLR Magic 35mm lens and it fits perfectly. My iPad is bright and easily readable, even at 10 feet away and there is no glare. You will need a special app that reverses the text and auto scrolls for your phone or tablet. Yes, there are cheaper teleprompters here and certainly more expensive ones, but FilmCity strikes a great balance of performance and affordability.

I never could figure it out. No directions included, online direction convoluted.

Muy buen producto, me funciona súper bien y trae su estuche para guardar, el anterior no tenía y por eso se me rompió, así que más que recomendado.
