NEEWER BASICS X12B Aluminum Alloy Liftable Teleprompter 12" for iPad Tablet DSLR Camera, No Assembly, Remote & App Control, Compatible with iOS Android, Pro for Online Teaching Live Streaming

Neewer does it again!! I love this thing. I use it to shoot shorts all the time and it is the perfect mid point between the cheapy things designed for mobile phones and the crazy expensive ones for broadcast. Does everything it claims and does it well. Easily accommodates my Lenovo tablet - IN PORTRAIT!! So it works really well for giving yourself a narrow width to minimise eye-scanning movements and plenty of height to see what's coming. It's really easy to set up once you get your head around it, and the carry case is great. It's a little on the cheap side being just fabric and foam, but it's sturdy enough to throw in the boot (trunk) and take on a job. The remote is also pretty decent, if a little basic. But it works and connects easily. The software is also pretty good if not amazing. I do really appreciate the cloud file management though. Just upload the doc on your writing device and it'll be available on your teleprompter device. Be nice if we could just link to Google Docs and avoid the cloud entirely, but it's perfectly good enough.

It is sturdy, well made and really versatile for different cameras. Works brilliantly with my Sony ZVE10 paired with my iPad. The free software is day, intuitive and just works…no hassle and no fuss…and it comes with a decent quality case. Loving it.

It has a bit of a cheap plastic feel but it works perfectly so I can’t really complain.

An absolute game changer for somebody, like me, who puts together teaching videos. It is best used with a mid size video camera or dslr. I bought a couple of little adaptions so that I could also use my phone to do some of the filming.

As someone that records sit down YouTube Videos, this Teleprompter makes it easy for me to use my camera and still look straight into it while reading my script.

Brilliant case effective teleprompter. We bought this for a shoot and have already used it on multiple shoots now. For the cost its brilliant.

I’m writing about both X12B and X12II Firstly about X12B (don’t waste your money on it and pay a little more for X12II) The quality is good, but it has one major drawback. The gimbal mount is directly attached to the body, so unlike a tripod, you can’t detach the top plate, attach it to the bottom of the camera, and then easily slide it onto the rail. To mount the camera on the gimbal, you have to randomly place it on the screw and tighten it underneath, and if your camera is a bit heavy like mine, this process becomes much harder. On the other hand, X12II is a great deal, more expensive but worth your money. They solve every drawback I mentioned about X12B and the case is way better.

This is a great addition to our setup allowing us to now talk directly to the camera
