  • Today, I'm reviewing Prompter People's Pocket Cue V2 Teleprompter series. As a content creator on UA-cam, this was a serious game-changer for my workflow. No more memorizing and fumbling over scripts! The Pocket Cue V2 is unique in its modular design. You can use this with a smartphone to film in portrait or landscape mode for vertical video OR use as your scrolling display. It also works great with mirrorless cameras with the option to upgrade to a freestanding kit that keeps the teleprompter unit separate from your camera and tripod. It's portable, easy to assemble and very affordable for the value offered!

    I do video lectures and there are a few things that really helped my video production (and though it is still pretty bad). But because I don't derive money directly from the videos, I have little budget for production. So over the years, I did 3 main things:
    1/ Audio. Move from a headset mic to a Yeti; sound quality is so much better. Debating trying a lapel mid at the moment.
    2/ Lights. I stopped shooting when the sun is down and now shoot during 10AM-2PM for natural light (through white semi opaque blids to get diffuse light), I changed light bulb in my recording room to white LEDs for additional lighting, and added a ring light to remove facial shadows
    3/ Editting. Switched from a free video editing tool to Davinci Resolve. I wasted too much time on bad editting UI on the past software.

    Cool review, one question we have is how does it compare in ease of use to the elegato prompter for folks who use it to livestream their own content?
    To answer your question, for our production work we have the earlier standalone model, the Prompter People D11 (13 or 15 inch screen) with the heavy duty tripod, and use their q1 software to run the laptop.
    A bit of a long set up time getting the pieces together when we take it on the road, which makes me wonder if they’ll do exchange taking in older gear for new one.. that would be awesome

      The Elgato prompter is great for the price, just like a Point and Shoot is great for the price, but this one is nothing like the Elgato (You are stuck with one monitor, one webcam "Their webcam or yours") and one use case, where as this one you are able to use a tablet, smartphone, monitor, and larger cameras (Only limited by the overall lens diameter) like comparing a Point and Shoot to an FX3

    • @CreativeMindsAudio
      @CreativeMindsAudio 7 місяців тому

      @@cinestyleinc6159 huh? A bit confused. All of my friends use a dslr with their elgato prompter. You can use a webcam, dslr with a wide angle lens, or a phone. As far as what you can use for the monitor sure I guess you can use all that stuff but I’d rather have a large monitor than a phone or tablet. And you can put anything on it and incorporate it easily with other programs. The elgato software makes it very powerful. Comparing it to a point and shoot is unfair. It seems more like an A7iv and maybe an fx3. And I still wonder if for say talking head UA-cam videos you need more than an A7iv these days or even that.

      @@CreativeMindsAudio Sorry, yes you can use a smaller mirrorless camera with one of the swappable backs - didn't realize they had that. I think it comes down to glass quality and customizability. I use Prompter People Teleprompters regularly so I am a fan of their products (I also shoot content for them) My first impressions of the Elgato Prompter was at a tradeshow and I was not that impressed with the overall quality and the def are not using optical quality glass at that price point (They are likely using the same glass iKan and GMV uses) which can causes color shifting from A/B Camera shoots but if you have a ATEM Mini ISO and a compatible camera you can correct for the color shift. I've also had some first hand experience with the 4K model Prompter People is putting out with the Pocket Cue and it is a way better image than that of Elgato but the price point is not going to be competitive as they are paying more than Elgato is selling to have it made.
