Turn your iPhone into a pro level teleprompter

Teleprompters are one of those systems that’s seeded in old, expensive video traditions, mandating superfluous equipment to achieve something absurdly simple to do in 2009. The ProPrompter agrees with this philosophy.

Using the aluminum ProPrompter Wing, an iPhone or iPod touch can be mounted to any tripod to work alongside small to midsized camcorders for a teleprompter system that’s readable from 15 feet away. The $99 (introductory price) system is coupled a free software available in the App Store.

Of course, as the company is catering to the pro video crowd, there’s also a ProPrompter ProMag rig that features a more studio-traditional setup including an anti-reflection hood and beam splitting glass. That’ll run you $695 (introductory). Well, not you. I mean somebody with a lot of money to spend on big-time teleprompter equipment.

    I’m seeded in old, expensive video traditions, thank you. Based on my introduction to the “new” media: The producer sits the interviewee in the dark so you can’t see their face; uses their cell phone for IFB and forgets to bring a spare so the IFB drops out 5 minutes to air. The talent keeps yelling wooowhoooo to passers-by. The camera operator doesn’t bring a tripod; gets tired of holding the camera and you wind up framing a sideways shot for the broadcast director. But my favorite is the camera op can’t be found because he disappeared to call his mother.
