The Prompter People Flex Plus 17" Teleprompter with Monitorfeatures a 17" 400 cd/m² reversing monitor, 60/40 trapezoidal-shaped beamsplitter glass, and a 20' reading range. The shape of the beamsplitter makes this prompter well suited for studio work as it allows for the text to be read by on-air talent that is not directly in front of the prompter, such as with news anchors. The teleprompter supports nearly any camcorder, ranging from MiniDV to ENG. The teleprompter comes with an aluminum extrusion frame, which enables mounting the camera to the prompter without requiring counterweights. The 60/40 glass and hood can be folded down for transport and storage. You can mount the camera to the prompter and mount that setup to your tripod in a traditional manner, or with an optional FreeStanding kit you can mount your camera to your tripod and separately mount the prompter to a stand in front of your camera.

Flip-Q Pro software, with a dual screen scrolling engine, reverses the secondary PC or Mac laptop output without reversing the operator's display. This enables the use of less expensive non-reversing VGA displays without sacrificing the functionality or performance. It features an RTF text editor, and allows you to import RTF and TXT files. Additionally, Flip-Q Pro software offers color background, color fonts, preset font size, color, style, black and white fonts, user selectable cue points, run lists, run from selected cursor and selectable cue marker. The software comes on a USB dongle so that it can be used on multiple computers. Just plug the dongle into the computer you want to use at a given time.

The 60/40 beamsplitter glass provides a bright overlay of text that your talent can read from up to 20' away, yet the text is invisible to your camera.

The trapezoidal shape of the glass liberates your on-air talent from needing to be directly in front of the prompter to read the text, making it possible for more than one person to share the prompter (e.g., co-anchors on news broadcasts).

Supports nearly any camera ranging from MiniDV to DSLR, and ENG cameras.

Aluminum extrusion frame - provides counterweight-free balance when used with any camera size.

Can be easily folded for secure transport and storage.

Top-side camera adjustments - allows you to adjust the vertical position of the camera.

Traditional or freestanding mounting is possible. Freestanding mounting is when the glass, hood, and monitor can be mounted on a stand in front of the camera instead of mounting the camera to the prompter and then mounting the entire set up on a tripod. An optional 15mm rod kit and Freestanding kit is required.
