- I found the best, cheapest teleprompter to help grow my UA-cam channel and I want to share it with you!
It's the Pronstoor Teleprompter from who knows where and it just ticks all the boxes. Oh and did I mentioned it was cheap?! You can pick one up for around $30 USD (+shipping).
Out of all the tools to help grow a UA-cam channel I think the teleprompter might be the MOST important one as I have talked about in recent videos.
In this video I share all of the teleprompters I've used and why I think this one is so good.
In case you missed my video on WHY you should use a teleprompter, watch that here: • Every UA-camr Should ...
And be sure to watch this video as I share all my best tips on how to use a teleprompter without anyone even noticing: • How to Use a Telepromp...
If you want to pick one up for yourself here is the cheapest one I found on AliExpress:

You CAN also buy it from Amazon.com though it's a little more expensive. Still worth every penny though if you can't get it from AliExpress:

Also FYI the Amazon link is an affiliate link so I'd get a few pennies if you order through that. No pressure though... get the cheapest one you can and save your money!
Thanks for watching :)

I have absolutely no intention of becoming a UA-camr so I was surprised at how much I enjoyed watching this. I think it's your delivery style.
Aw thanks for saying.. I really appreciate it. I do my best to make every video entertaining even if it's not a topic of interest for my viewers. But hopefully I'll make videos on topics you actually DO want to see soon! 👊😆
I just love your vibe and enthusiasm. Don't remember someone as cheerful with a genuine feel on youtube besides you. Also you really have some great inputs despite not being a camera guru, but because you don't have your tongue tied by sponsors. Hope the best to you and your family.
You know, I knew these videos wouldn't be pushed in the algorithm... yet I still wanted to make them because it's something I felt like I needed to put out there. I guess what I'm saying is, it's tough creating something with maximum effort when you know it won't grow your channel. However, comments like yours put wind in my sails. You are very supportive and each time you are, it helps me persevere and keep going. I appreciate you my friend, thank you again for giving me the energy I need to keep my enthusiasm as my #1 priority... because I LOVE to do this, even though what I've been doing lately doesn't help me earn a living :) though I am confident that if I keep putting in this kind of effort, one day it will. 👊
I really appreciate the level of detail you go into and your delivery is engaging and your advice is practical. You've helped me become aware of things I probably would have wasted a fair bit of time on figuring out on my own. Can't ask for much more then that so thanks man 👍
Really appreciate your comment. I wanted to make these videos useful despite knowing they won't get the views. It's hard to muster up that energy when you know it won't grow the channel but again, comments like yours really put the wind in my sails and make me want to continue making each video as best as I possibly can. Thanks for the support man, it means a lot 👊
I just ordered the Deskview! Refunding/cancelling my order now!
Haha that's awesome! To be honest, assuming the Desview you got DIDN'T have ghosting, this one is just as good, comes with the same remote (the ones I got anyway)... and it's cheaper. There's no reason not to get it. I just love it. It's low-key one of my favourite tools I have.
One thing I forgot to mention in the video was, on the ring that I screw on to the lens that the teleprompter slides on to.... I added a tiny piece of electricians tape so that the teleprompter doesn't slide left or right while it's on there. It made it perfect. Just something to keep in mind if you ever notice it's at all loose. I think I did that on all the teleprompters now that I think about it.
Can't wait to hear how it goes for you!
@@thesahdstudio I’m coming from the Glide Gear, I’ve had no issues with that… but I have started UA-cam myself and posting videos from my desk, so needed something smaller… Desview looked the part but once you mentioned ghosting I was done… I didn’t get to cancel in time so it’s arriving tomorrow, I might try myself first… but I also ordered this one you recommended, so might have to do a side by side…
It’s a lot cheaper also, so I guess with both arriving tomorrow can try for myself… thank god for Amazon return policy!
@@leo_hoang Yeah that's fun! I LOVE side-by-side comparisons. I'll be curious to know if yours in fact has ghosting. I still can't believe both the T2 and T3 did. Was it a fluke? I don't know. Which one did you get? I liked the form factor of the T3 better but they were both decent. And yeah at the end of the day it really comes down to value. If they do the same job why pay more right? I can't wait to hear what you think! Keep me posted 👊
@@thesahdstudio any tips on how to test for ghosting? I’m otherwise just going to try use it as I would and see if I can see any issues… but if you know of a better way to test, let me know and I will try run that test…
@@leo_hoang It was just normal use where the ghosting was so bad I didn't even want to use. Hopefully they fixed it. I really can't imagine they would all be like that... the phones I tested the two Desview units with were a Samsung and iPhone. So it's not like I was using janky products either. Just normal text... I switched to white bg with black font, black bg with white font etc. It was all bad on them.
i just had mine arrive and returned it bc it was wayy to low quality, the plastic was screeching and the glass was scratched everywhere
Aw that sucks! There's nothing worse than buying a "new" product than receiving some returned piece of garbage.
It's not the best plastic in the world or anything but it's fine... mine doesn't feel much worse than any of the others I've used at a higher price point (Desview, Neewerm etc).
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you can find one that fits your budget and doesn't suck!
Are you sure this teleprompter is compatible with wide lenses and will show no black bars with a Sony lens FE 1.4 / 24 mm GE, I have the exact same one you have. Thanks in advance! I'm now a subscriber to your channel.
It 100% has been great for me and not had any black bars. As long as you get the same one it'll be fine. It's not the highest quality piece of gear or anything... for example it slid around on my lens a little bit, but one piece of electricians tape made it snug... something I would have done on other ones anyway. For the price it's been just fantastic for me especially based on the others I've tried.
And welcome to the channel! Glad to have you 👊
do I have to have a dslr camera to be able to do this? Can I just use a phone to record while using another phone or iPad for reading?
The teleprompter comes with an attachment for your phone (I believe) so you definitely don't need a dslr/mirrorless camera! In fact I know one of the other commenters mentioned he bought this one FOR his phone and said he got it working great! Maybe check the other comments if you get a sec.
Thanks so much for doing this video! I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this even though I'm not sure how well it will work. I'll probably go ali express and buy you a coffee. :-) I'm using the ZV-E10 for talking heads and I too have found that 16mm is the best focal length (for APS-C). The issue is I only have 35mm and 11mm primes so I use the kit lens which I believe moves when focusing. However, I can just manually focus when I'm doing talking heads until I get a better lens. Originally, I didn't do many talking head shots, but I'm doing more now and with a teleprompter. Do you think this will work in a "pinch" as my first teleprompter?
Awesome! Oh yeah it'll be sweet, a perfect entry teleprompter for sure. You might be able to just use the 11mm with it... you may have to crop a tiny bit but... like you said you can always manual focus if you have to. Keep your eyes peeled for a deal on that Sigma 16mm if you can.
One thing I forgot to mention in the video was, on the ring that I screw on to the lens that the teleprompter slides on to.... I added a tiny piece of electricians tape so that the teleprompter doesn't slide left or right while it's on there. It made it perfect.
Exciting! You'll have to let me know when you get it how well it works for you. I love being able to share these great value tools that are low-key game-changers you know? Can't wait to hear how it goes for you! 👊
@@thesahdstudio Thanks for the additional tip! I've been wanting the 16mm for a while now. I am actually waiting to make a purchase after the ZV-E10 mark 2 comes out (rumors say it will be announced this month). I really want the ZV-E1 but if I'm mostly doing talking head at my level with my mirrorless (using the Pocket 3 for travel and vlogs), I think an APS-C will work just fine and allow me to use it when I want to get more cinematic. So, it's looking more like either the A6700 or ZV-E10 II. Kindof want the viewfinder so I can do some photography but we'll see what the price looks like on the E10 II first. If it doesn't have IBIS, I'm going to have to go at least A6700.
@@timbrowntown Ohh I love camera news! Yeah I hear you on wanting something a little more capable. I've had thoughts of getting an 85mm f1.8 lens and taking some sweet pics of the fam. There's just something about those kinds of shots that looks like they could be in a magazine. Fun to have. My current lineup of cameras/lenses (zv-e1/zv-e10) isn't very inspiring when it comes to photo. I love my setup for my channel though so I can't complain... and in a pinch I can still take some really nice photos. But it's not really built for that.
I wish I had found a cheaper hobby.... 🤣
Awesome video. Would this work with my setup? I have a Sony ZV-E10 with a Sigma 16mm f/1.4 lens with a Sennheisser MKE 400 mic mounted on top of the camera facing me. I am mainly do talking head.
@@JayBunte I also the Zv-e10 and the 16mm... I just tested it out on there and it works great! An awesome little setup for a sick price. Worth getting for sure! 👊
I was looking at the teleprompter but at the moment I am using a anker webcam, do you think I could set something up so that this would work with the webcam for te time being?
Yeah you could absolutely get a mini stand or some way to rig it up so that it works! I'm sure of it. You might have to use your imagination a bit though :)
@@thesahdstudio thank you! I have ordered it and will let you know how it goes! 😊
@@EchoesfromtheMountain-tk6bz Nice! Good for you. Yeah it might take some tinkering to set it up but at least now you have it and the delivery of your content will increase exponentially!
@@thesahdstudio I have set the Anker up on separate stand and it worked!! Have used black material to surround both stands to block out light and it is working well - video to go on my site tomorrow 🤞Brilliant! Thank you for your help 😁
@@EchoesfromtheMountain-tk6bz Amazing!! Love to hear it. Thanks for keeping me in the loop. Good luck!! Can't wait to see it.
