Teleprompter for Red EPIC and BMD URSA cameras

[Katie. A]

Hi.
I need to buy teleprompter which I can use with both Red Epic and BMD URSA cameras.
Which is the best teleprompter out there? What else will I need to use with it? What sort of accessories?

I am using following and I know It doesn't look professional. However I am using this on pro-sets (its plug and play - lol)
Oh yeah... and I always keep a back-up unit as well because I can easily carry it in my back pocket instead of carry a large leather sofa (prompter) on my shoulder, lol

I bought one of those two when Kawn mentioned it in another thread. Does exactly what it says on the tin.
The best Teleprompter app for ipad out there is Teleprompter Plus

Hi Kwan

This unit looks very interesting. How good is the software in terms of being able to easily make quick script changes on set and also for accurately adjusting read speed as the presenter goes through their take?

We don't use prompters that often but hiring them at short notice is a PITA and having a low cost option like this makes sense!

Best wishes

Scott

Hi Kwan,
Will i be needing some sort of light stand to support it? Can it be installed on the same base plate with camera? Is it 17 inches?

I've been using this as well for a few years now. The build quality and it's portability make it perfect in my opinion. You can buy 2 different versions I think one that mounts on rails in front of the camera and one that mounts to a stand. Ive been using the rail mount version. It's super light and there's enough adjustability of it that makes it work with every kind of camera that I've tried. The apps that you can use are pretty cheap so try out a couple and see which one works best for your style.

I also have the pad prompter, love it.

I have a teleprompter made by Prompter People I am selling if your interested. Its been laying around the studio taking up a bit of space. I'd make you a good deal if your interested.

Thanks all! I think I'll go for Pad Prompter. What apps will I need to start with? And do we need some sort of laptop/ i pad to use teleprompters?

Thanks all! I think I'll go for Pad Prompter. What apps will I need to start with?

You using iOS or Android? I have an Android tablet and I used to use Remote Prompter (by QuArtStudio) but it had a bad update so now I'm back to Android Prompter (by MonacoDevDroid). Android choices kind of suck to be honest. I'm sure there are good iOS options but I can't say.
