[23.5 lb] I've been using this Teleprompter for over 3 years now and it's taken a beating and lasted a long time with no issues.
I love being able to use it as a standard teleprompter and with the removable back sled I put a rapid adapter on the bottom adapter plate and it's now a freestanding teleprompter, so if there's a shoot with a lot of BRoll and only one camera we can knock the interviews out without having to remove our camera from the tripod, just putting the teleprompter on a junior roller and moving it into shoot.
I also love that prompter people is available for real live phone support and they respond to emails fast usually within 30 or so minutes.
I can't think of any other video equipment company with this level of service.
Overall this has been my favorite teleprompter I've ever owned and it's well worth the price (It's actually cheaper than other teleprompters of this level of quality).

[23.5 lb] This product was selected after extensive internet research. Living in New Zealand I had no chance to see anything prior to purchase and had to rely on the Internet to sort out something which was good quality and functional. Well, I am an engineer and this product is extremely substantial and has a feel of almost over engineering- very solid very substantial. It appears to be the best value for money out there and I am a very happy bunny! I have had several email chats with the company prior to purchase and they are immediate with their responses and extremely helpful. The software does what it should, is simple and yet powerful. I thoroughly recommend this company and this product. I can see no real advantage in paying more for a teleprompter, as this one does everything you want a teleprompter to do.

[60/40] For the price this is a great package. It is simple to set up, built to be stable and most importantly, it works. I use it inside for non-profits mostly and beats having adlib remarks. Software loads easily and works well. While it would be nice to have greater flexiblility in crawl speeds the software does allow for recording pauses so that speaker timing works. Would recommend to a friend.

[Yes] You do need a good tripod though (of course)

[60/40] This is a great teleprompter. Quick to set-up, and very adaptable. Makes a huge difference when interviewing non-professionals on video. My only complaint is that the Prompter People do not make a good custom case for it.

[60/40] I use this in a small studio to film instructors / experts for teaching online courses. It's perfect for the job. Sets up easily, and there's zero glare or reflection. The video quality comes out perfect. Basically, other than the talent reading the script, we don't even notice that it's there. The ZaPrompt software is great too. Simple to use and very effective for scrolling scripts. I also often just put power point or keynote on the teleprompter when a full script isn't required. Simply put - it works and I have had no issues after months of use.

[23.5 lb] This is a great teleprompter for the price, honestly you wont find a better option in this price range, also the support that prompter people gives is great. They helped me setup the prompter, and the software. 

I read an earlier review that mentioned flip-q lite, but was happy to learn that they have not been sending out flip-q lite for a long time, and now the full version of flip-q is provided for free with the prompter. The software is easy to use, and the fact that monitor automatically flips the image makes it even easier to do things like power points or interrotron setups with this prompter. 

All-in-all Im very happy with my purchase.

[Yes] So, this is my second Prompter for our set. The other is a 15 Ikan. Though the Ikan is built out of better materials, I prefer this Desview 21 as does our talent. The material is of a cheaper plastic, however it is a lot easier to setup and does its job very well can is half the price.


It's a lot less of a hassle to travel with and setup than the smaller, better build quality, Ikan.


So know, you will not be getting high quality components in this price range, but if your goal is to gain a prompter with a large reading area that is easy to setup and works well, this is for you.


Please Note that we did NOT use the prompter software that this came with, so no comment on the software. We use one of the highly rated Mac Apps for our software.

[23.5 lb] I've been using teleprompters as a key component of my shoots for the last 4 years, and have relied on my ikan hdmi monitor style prompter ever since. The issue with that one is it relies on these tiny machine screws to keep the whole thing together, so there are a lot of weak spots where I've had to retap and re-screw to prevent it from crumbling. This PP branded prompter is a great replacement. All the same features of the computer-to-hdmi-to-monitor style control, but with one hinge that has a safety stop and minimal threaded weak points. Also I'm loving the 15 size and enhanced font!

[Aluminum] I have been using this product for more than 9 months now and it works great. I produce a number of corporate videos each month, I needed something that was high quality, that worked right everytime. Corporate executive's time is very valuable, the last thing I needed was a prompter to not perform. There are enough other things to worry about on set or in studio, the prompter shouldn't be one of them. This product does just that. The software that comes with it works. It won't win any awards for being pretty or eye catching but it gets the job done. I would by this product again.
