The Glide Gear F2F 25 Portable Interview Teleprompteris a convenient, collapsible platform for assisting with interviews in which the subject must look directly at the camera. It uses a periscope-style teleprompter system to reflect the interviewer's face in front of the lens, thus allowing the two parties to comfortably speak face-to-face. The F2F 25 may also be used as a traditional teleprompter when used in conjunction with your smartphone or tablet.

The F2F 25 Portable Face-to-Face Interview Teleprompter is a convenient, collapsible platform for assisting with interviews in which the subject must look directly at the camera. It uses a periscope-style teleprompter system to reflect the interviewer's face in front of the lens, thus allowing the two parties to comfortably speak face-to-face. The F2F 25 may also be used as a traditional teleprompter when used in conjunction with your smartphone or tablet.

Devices used to direct a subject's gaze towards the camera lens while still maintaining line of sight with the interviewer have been employed for decades to add dramatic effect to talking head interviews. A two-way beam splitter delivers facial feedback to both interviewer and interviewee, fostering warmer and more conversational segments in all sorts of documentaries and other nonfiction projects.

Glide Gear's F2F 25 provides a small-scale and lightweight solution for achieving this effect with a design that easily collapses for transport in the included carrying case. The prompter simply mounts to its own stand or tripod set closely to the camera and its tripod (available separately). The F2F 25 adds minimal bulk to the kits of technicians or producers thanks to its ability to reconfigure for use as a conventional teleprompter. Several industry standard mounting ports are located on the prompter frame for attaching accessories like lights and microphones.
