Looks like this:



@onetakeonly

I want to ask few questions.

1. Can you tell us more about software side and control side (how to control speed, etc) ?

2. Do you plan to use much cheaper chinese Android tablets? Btw, we have one of the minor tablets producer here, look in 10" HDMI monitor topic.

Cheaper options are discussed here:

@onetakeonly

Can you make option to control prompter using analog way (like foot pedal, etc)?

Do you have any plans to make your own free teleprompter software?

May be cheaper version of teleprompter?
I am very interested in participating with making $299 total teleprompter (including tablet and software :-) )

I am also very interested in more detailed videos explaining its usage in documentaries then people that use it are not expirienced, ordinary people that you must shoot. I have big doubts about iPhone control.

Btw here are youtube videos about it:

>there's even better, a bluetooth pedal to control the Ipad, you can have more details on TELEPROMPT+ website

This is pedal made for musicians.
While it can be used for teleprompter is is not so handy.

>At $399, with all the aluminium rods support included, you have to admit that it's already damn cheap, it will cost you more to buy only the aluminium hardware from big cie like Zacuto or Redrock

We are not very politcorrect here, so I can not admit that this is damn cheap (and Zacuto and Redrock market share is shrinking very rapidly, btw).
For teleprompter amrket it is cheap, of course, but if you need it from time to time it is not so cheap, considering iPad price.
Overall I think that using iPad is error.

>of course, if you dont need a prompter, even at $99, it,s too much,

Andre, if you are upset, don't be :-)
All people here respect your very good product.
But iPad requirement is not best part.
I still suggest to look seriously at cheap Android tables, as most of 10" tablets will be not worse than iPad for your task.

>but you could use any tablet you want in it, as long as they are smaller then Ipad,

May be good idea will be to make table from compatible cheap tablets (look at ebay and dealextreme.com )

>we opted for the Ipad because it's the #1 seller. If you give me the exacts measurements of the tablet you plan to use, I'll make you a custom unit for it,

In most countries it is very far from #1 seller. Even in US, cheap tablets (rebranded mostly) far outsell it.

My idea was to make this list so any customer could quickly understand if his tablet can be used.

Hi Andres,

the glass used in the Pad prompter is a real HD beamsplitter, no color shift, only a minimal light loss of 1/3 of a stop, if you have any other question, please, dont hesitate to ask,

thanks

(my little 2 cts : I'm just a little tired to see "HD" every where.... Does it mean that your Beamsplitter has a 1920x1080 resolution ? So can it work with a 4k red camera ? and what about the 501HD from manfrotto? what the point to have a High Definition Fluid Head ???)
anyway just kidding...
You have a good product in my opinion and I think it's a good idea to use the Ipad (which is the best selling tablet, far from any android tablet...however it would be good to indicate the total dimension of your setup to know if we can use an android tablet as well)

Do you know any hardware system to control the teleprompt+ or proprompter software?
I don't necessary have an Iphone and an Ipad, I would prefer to use a bluetooth keyboard or a mouse, wii remote, controller.....

Thanks

Hi uliman,

thanks for your good words on our Pad Prompter, would you mind if I use your comment on the testimonials page of our website, please, let me know,

thanks

@Andre

I still think that you must find good chinese 10" wide tablet (any Android one).
And make cheap complete solution.

>tought about it but if I include the tablet, I'll have to sell it at almost cost price

Yes, but this not the point.
Point is that you want to sell more of your teleprompter kits.
And bundling it with cheap, but fully suitable tablet could help.

>Then I'll end-up with all the trouble regarding tablets non-working, etc.....that's not what I want at all,

So, you need tablet with service. Or good online retailer who stands behind their products.
I suggest to talk with mp4nation.net owner (if you want to ship worldwide). He has big community and good service. You could just use him as seller also.

has anybody practical experience in meanwhile with this prompter? Is 70/30 beamsplitter glass okay, how is general quality? Competitors mostly supply 60/40
