The PT1200 12" Portable Teleprompter Kitcombines a portable design with a large viewing size, and it's built very durable with aluminum and steel components, including an aluminum monitor frame. The monitor is 12" diagonally and the scientific-grade prompter glass matches in size, providing a 20 ft reading range. The whole system consists of only three main components—the monitor, set of two 15mm rods, and quick-release baseplate—and assembles in about a minute. The glass frame folds right onto the monitor, allowing for easy transport, and in the same manner is adjustable up and down into the best viewing position for the presenter. A zippered hood with a fabric lens cover is included that secures firmly to the monitor frame. The quick release baseplate is height-adjustable to accommodate various cameras from small to mid-size.

The monitor features control buttons right on the front and provides easy access to its inputs (HDMI, VGA, Composite BNC). The monitor powers from the included AC power supply, and you can use an optional battery and cable to power the monitor in the field. Prompting software (Mac/Win) is included, and everything comes shipped in compartmentalized, reusable foam that's designed to fit into the optional SKB iSeries 1914-8 waterproof carry case.

[4:3] this teleprompter is super easy to use and my clients love talking into it, one said it made him feel like a movie star 5

Gary	22/08/2024
[Yes] Just what we were looking for! Not much to say other than they are great. 5

Keylan	21/08/2024
[4:3] This product is fantastic for the price. Hooked it up with ease, attached my ipad, downloaded the app, mounter my Sony A6400 to it and was good to go almost immediately. Great build quality as well. Compared to its competitors, this is the most bang for your buck teleprompter on the market. 5

[1024 x 768] This is my first experience with a teleprompter so there was some experimentation needed to get it adjusted properly. I noticed right away that some people feel the need to tilt their head back while viewing the reflected image and a lower camera angle was the cure. Putting it away then assembling it ready for action takes more time than I would want but I see no alternative. One issue is the complete apparatus situated on a camera tripod is unstable and tippy, so caution is advised. Overall I think this works as advertised and seems of good quality and careful construction. Why other units cost so much more is a question I still ponder. 5

[500:1] B&H Photo is, hands down, the best photo & video store on the market. Even though I had no previous experience of ordering goods overseas (I live in Serbia), it all went smoothly, without any issues whatsoever. The least I can do is to rate them the way I did, 5 stars, and to write an honest, unbiased, review of their service. If you are a hobbyist, like myself, or a professional filmmaker living overseas, take my advice, go with B&H Photo and thank me later. Cheers! 5

[160 x 140°] Having this Teleprompter has transformed my business and now we can sell videos a lot easier. It's such an up sell. 5

Scott	27/07/2024
[Yes] If you are looking for a simple and affordable teleprompter here she is... no experience using on again here she is.... have used a couple of different teleprompters this is by far the easiest to assemble and use. Great for folks who are not used to reading from a teleprompter as the camera is right behind it so eye contact and movement are less of an issue. Use at a company for the president to record Qtr updates for Employees. 5

[160 x 140°] I love this kit. For the price, its a great deal. I've owned it for over a year and use it dozens of times. Its quick and easy to set up. Clients love it 5

[13.15 lb] This is far superior to the cheap, iPad/mirror setup I'd been using. Easy set up. Software is intuitive and does the job. 5

[Aluminum, Steel] I love it when people say they are great on camera and don't need to see the script! LOL Teleprompters save so much time when recording video now and editing time later. This is small enough to take it anywhere you go. 5
