Hi Ms. Meredith. Great review and I’m glad you made a video on this product as I’ve been seeing it around a lot. I’m not quite ready for a teleprompter yet, but if/when I am the Prompter by Elgato could be the one I choose. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
Great points! Also, thanks for showing the setup process especially showing how it slides easily on the lens! Thats was hilarious to watch but extremely helpful
It seems to me that one drawback is that you need a computer to use this teleprompter. Am I correct? If so, if you take it on location for filming someone else, you must bring a laptop. With the teleprompter I currently have ...it is all I need. However, I want a bigger prompter than my current one. Thus, checking out this video. Thank you. Well done.
7:00 you forgot to look dead in the camera and say "first time"
I just returned the new teleprompter I had bought. After watching your video. I have no doubts, this is the one! Unfortunately, it is out of stock here in Australia. I ll have to wait a few weeks :)
Lots of people are waiting for this to be in stock!!
Just wondering if you have any idea how long will it take?
@@meredithmarsh
This teleprompter is just great, I was looking for it from Elgato.
Thank you for the very well made video!
You’re welcome, thanks for watching!
Great review! Lots of additional nuance not covered in other reviews. Really nice work.
Thank you 🙏
Awesome video! Just ordered mine using your link! 🎉
Awesome! I hope you love it!
Great review! I find your mid-sentence cuts distracting, though, try to finish a sentence fully instead of editing mid-sentence.
thanks for your feedback
I almost went back to your Neewer teleprompter video and said that Elgato needs to send you one of these!! I am so glad that they did! I really wanted to hear your thoughts about the device, especially since you are using the Neewer and happy with it. I have a field monitor and cheap teleprompter so for the moment I am not going to get an Elgato Prompter but if I did, I think I would be spending bit more and build a nice platform (camera cage parts) so that Prompter doesn't rest on the lens and is a bit sturdier than that plastic camera platform. Again thanks so much for the good information!!
Thank you! Yes I think it would be great to build something a little more robust. That’s a great idea.
It looks like they have a base that attaches to the bottom of the teleprompter that you can bundle in..note this is currently on pre-order for December delivery.
4:51 shows two methods to avoid the access weight on the lens using another tripod or some sort of makeshift way of putting the weight on your existing tripod. Perhaps a suggestion you could make for Elgato if they haven't gotten one made yet.
I would love this teleprompter at about $200 or if it was able to fold. I think for now I’ll stick with the neewer x12 for $98 and perhaps wait for a 2nd gen of the Elgato.
I purchased a 16" Teleprompter all metal for 140.00 with the ability to accept monitors of up to 16" by 10.2" . I also bought a 15.6" monitor with 1000 nits capabilities and the ability to flip the image on Vertical, Horizontal, and Vertical + horizontal axis all built into the monitor. No need to go through an HDMI Flip Box or Software. I wanted to use the Teleprompter as a normal working monitor when not Live Streaming etc... Also normal monitors produce 400 to 700 nits and appear a bit dull after hitting the two-way mirror... with 1000 nits the image appears nice bright and sharp ... cheers amigos !!!
Super high quality review! Many thanks! I'm actually torn right now between getting a glide gear tmp100 to use with 10.2" iPad or alternatively the Elgato prompter for talking head language education type content. Which setup would you choose for that sort of thing?
@steveperry4243 I really like the simplicity of the Elgato prompter! And thanks for watching!
@@meredithmarsh I've watched many of your videos....always great! I'm going to get the Elgato.
Great review of the practical bits. Really interested in your setup as you said "my camera is a little over an arms length" - what lens are you using? Also wondering is it possible to run the teleprompter app with the prompter simultaneously replicating a PC screen with, for example, a web page as background? Or is it case of either the prompter script or the PC screen?
Bahaha! That part of you sliding it on to your lens destroyed me Haha The 16th time is the charm!
I’m glad it was entertaining 😂
Really want to get one of these but delivery in the UK seems to be for March 2024, too long to wait!
I know 😥 it’s a bot product!
Great review! Can we set up for phone in portrait mode? If yes, how?
OMG... I'm paused at 2:29 thinking to myself how to convert this Elgato teleprompter into a walking photobooth with micro computer mounted on one of those lil cold shoe, a v-mount battery to power it all and my discontinued Hiti p110s for branded hard copies (utilizing breeze software of course) Its just crazy enough that it might actually work! (more research is needed)
I tried something similar in the UK for my Sony ZV E10 and had to send it back because also I couldn’t use my FAV teleprompter app which works via sound recognition! It’s a NO for me!
@@luxblacklife which app is your favorite?
you can't upload the script and read it. You have to have it connected to a computer for it to work.
Yes
Great review! I can’t wait for mine to reach. I wonder if master mount was able to hold the weight without moving down. I am planning to use flex arm or/and clamp arm to connect the bottom 1/4inch back to the master mount so that the load will be distributed.
Unfortunately the 2 cons are not beings able to comfortably use it above high/big screens, It works the best on the side of the main middle Monitor.
Elgato's Master Mounts are very study!
you can buy a field monitor with HDMI pass thru and flip/mirror capabilities and I think that is better than a fixed monitor.
If using the Neewer teleprompter which is heavier, I would recommend using a $100 Neewer tripod (instead of a thin or small ball head on a desk vertical bar which was a pain to lock down). I switched to a tripod to hold teleprompter for this reason and then no problem with the weight, and the arm on the tripod head makes it easy to tilt and lock or rotate to access camera. By the way, which prompter do you use the most now, is it Elgato or the Neewer one? Or do you use both at different times? The software for Elgato seems very well designed and easy to use in setup of prompting, and one of its strengths.
I use the elgato now. The neewer is packed away in my closet 😆
It looks like the teleprompter covers the remote sensor in front of the camera...
So, we can't use wireless remote to control the camera?
So this unit includes prompter software without the need to pay a subscription fee?
Yes
I have the same Neewer teleprompter 😅.
do you know if its compatible with sony a7 cameras and 20-70mm lens
🤣Love that you showed how it literallly .... slides..... onto.... the... camera.... lense... LOL! Seriously though, thanks for the review and awesome content.
I thought it would be smoother than it was 😆😆😆 thanks for watching!!
@@meredithmarsh and it just slides on.. like... so......
Hi Meredith great videos, you are always informative and easy to understand. Can you tell me if the font size can be adjusted on the Elgato Prompter? My eyesight isn't what it used to be, and I'm worried that I may not be able to read the text in the prompter screen.
Thank you! Yes the font size can be adjusted if you’re using elgato’s prompter software.
Hello, Congratulations Cool. 👍👏👏👏👏 I am impressed.
So I know that everybody’s not tech nerd like I am therefore, I thought it might be helpful to say if you have an existing teleprompter you could probably use a very cheap android tablet to mimic what the Elgato product does. There were apps that allow you to use your android devices as secondary displays.
that's a good point. as long as the display can be mirrored so the glass displays it correctly, any display or tablet can be used.
@@meredithmarsh ~ I’m thinking about buying my 1st Teleprompter to begin making videos for the possibility of getting into my UA-cam channel and Patreon, for fun and profit. How do those 100 dollar 💵 Teleprompters on AMAZON compare for a beginner?
you think you could use this outside?
I haven’t tried it so I’m not sure
Can you connect an android tablet to use your own tele prompter?
Hey Meredith! Thanks for the video. We are in the market for a teleprompter, but we don't have an SLR camera. I would ordinarily use my mobile for filming, but can also use Zoom, Camtasia or Descript. I just wasn't sure... would it work without an SLR?
Hi! Yes it has a universal mount for using any kind of camera. If you have a tripod mount for your phone you could use that with the prompter.
Good Morning Meredith, do you have any suggestions on a good starter camera?
I see the links, thx
I’ve just connected the teleprompter and the link to the Mac for screen sharing really is glitchy. Anyone else having this. The screen mirror to iPad is seamless, but to this Elgato is terrible: how come no one is sharing this on their videos? Affiliate marketing perhaps ?
Mine has never glitched. The link to the Prompter in my description isn’t an affiliate link, so I reject your theory.
fair comment. I mean the screen mirror function/extension monitor - the cursor does not always go across the screens.
Will keep an eye on it.
BestJim@@meredithmarsh
Is the "tablet" that comes in the Elgato teleprompter as big as an Ipad?
How far can you put that Elgato teleprompter and still aee the text you are reading?
It’s not as big as an iPad. I have 20/20 eyesight… it all depends on how big or small you make your text I guess.
@@meredithmarsh I use reading glasses, lol. Maybe if I put the Elgato teleprompter far, I can increase the size of the text?
(I have never used a teleprompter)
@@MrGheller yep! You can adjust the size of the text so it works for you 👍
@@meredithmarsh Do you think it's possible to use the Elgato Prompter with and iPhone or DJI Osmo Pocket 3 as the camera in the back?
Does anybody use this with a Mevo start?
well crap, I just bought the other one rofl, and it doesnt look this this is available until next year anyway, might have to upgrade at some point. Is this wifi or does it support an ethernet cable?
Haha 😆 lots of people are waiting for this one to be available! It connects through a cable that comes with it.
@@meredithmarsh dang it!!! thanks for the response. I cannot wait that long, Ive been struggling so much with having to repeat lines so many times and waste time editing. I have a telepromt app on my computer but can still tell Im not looking directly at the camera and want to connect better with my audience. may just have to upgrade later, thank you!!!
This looks good a little pricey tho, i think this has been a issue with all teleprompters there is always some pros and cons with all. with this being from elgato am pretty sure quality will be good. i defo like the idea of the built in display. i have recently brought the same newer x12 and wanted to mount it on desk however like you said its too heavy and keeps wobbling. i wish they could have given you some sort of disc code for your followers :-)
I wish I had a discount code too! But they often have Black Friday deals 🤞
@@meredithmarsh ya I think the product isn’t available on marketplaces yet atleast in U.K. … they should do a full package with lights or something in Black Friday I guess . I have created some content with the neweer now so hopefully get used to 1 for now 😆
Hello Sajid, I think it is priced just right. If you try to build your own you will likely spend about the same amount of money or get something inferior. $100 for a teleprompter, $100 for a monitor, then you have to get the software sorted out and a lot of people are using a teleprompter software that cost $59 annually. I think this is a steal! If I didn't have all the parts already I would have purchased one already. And don't forget about the time it takes to get all of that stuff sorted out! The Prompter is plug and play. You just need something to mount it on.
Actually you don't have to pay for an external app because Apple's sidecar tech enables every Mac user to use an iPad as an external monitor.
It has to be reversed to work with a teleprompter.
@@meredithmarsh Most or all Teleprompter apps do the reverse for you.
The Elgato prompter is certainly nice for an "at the desk" setup! But don't throw away the Neewer, you may still use it away from your desk sometime.
Great point!
Out of stock. Bummer. Sell me yours? 😂
Haha you’re not the first person to offer to buy mine! Good luck!!
