TRADITIONAL TELEPROMPTER
EZPrompter

Traditional teleprompter's consists of
3 major components:

EZ Prompter retains the Beam Splitter Mirror, but rotates it 180 degrees to allow a platform above the prompter.
  1. Beam Splitter Mirror,

  2. Monitor that displays the scrolling text

  3. Counterbalance or structure to keep everything in balance.

Due to the weight of these teleprompters, they are normally useful only in the studio in controlled environments.

While traditional teleprompters have worked great for newscasters who are formally trained to read teleprompters, the scrolling text is often distracting.

Another drawback of traditional prompters is that they can be difficult to read in brightly lit conditions.

(1) Beam Splitter Mirror
(2) Platform to hold text

Total Weight: 18 to 70 pounds.
Total Weight: 2 pounds.
Don't forget you would typically need a laptop or other computer running special software which alone can run into the thousands of dollars.
 
Cost: $2,500-$15,000
Cost: $499

NOTE: If you have an IF lens (Internal Focusing), you will have much better results with teleprompters in general.  This means, that when you focus the lens, the entire lens housing does not rotate. Even if you don't have an IF lens, you can still use the EZPrompter. Because this prompter is attached to the housing, you can still focus, you will just need to loosen the set screw, focus, then retighten the prompter. The EZPrompter has been designed to attach to nearly any lens available through the use of adapters. Current adaptors allow 72mm lenses such as the Canon XL1 to work. Other adapters will be available soon. The EZPrompter is a perfect fit for the JVC DY-90 and Canon 18:1 lens.

COMPLETE PACKAGE INCLUDES:

(1) EZPrompter
(1) Custom Hard Carrying Case
(1) Light Bracket
