I haven't had much trouble with seeing my teleprompter screen in my glasses. I didn't notice it when editing this and I haven't noticed it before, but that might be because it's a relatively small screen. You could try using a circular polarizing filter on your lens and turning it a bit to kill reflections if it's an issue. I will be doing an episode down the line on simple filters like those, but it's worth looking them up. Just make sure they're the right thread size to fit your lens!

Well from a guy that says he can't build stuff that is pretty impressive. I don't think i'll be making a cardboard prompter but the idea is solid. I really like the idea of using a fresnel sheet to magnify the phone, I was wanting to make a prompter but didn't want to invest in a tablet, but I do have a smart phone. Now to attack the garage to salvage for parts!

Steady cam -> Tape some bottles filled with water to a stick then tape the camera to the stick
Slider -> Get a drawer slide and screw the camera to one end and the tripod to the other (that can actually work I shall try it some time)
Rig -> Get a gorillapod and bend it to the shape of a rig
Well done you have all these stuff now: )

That is much easier said than done, the time you save from mind numbing script memorization and additional takes or editing in post. The prompter will pay for itself very quickly. If you are doing paid work, it is even more important. Try telling someone that is paying you to memorize everything on a script.

Thank you so much! You really should do these regularly! I use to watch Indy Mogul but I really could only make the stuff that was level 1 or 2. Even if it's not that professional, you should show us how to make a lot more stuff like this, easy and simple and cheap!

I use a Sony Bloggie camera to do movie reviews. I'd like to know how I can mount my camera horizontally on my tripod. Because we all know that if it's mounted vertically the video looks wonky. This could be an easy build, but I personally can't figure it out. Thanks!

How do you setup your lights so you don't get reflections off your glasses but STILL have good lighting? I have a really hard time lighting myself because I wear glasses and always end up getting horrible reflections, but yours looks really good.

Please do this on a regular bases, at least every other week or so. You may say it's for the Not-So-Handy but your design can be used with other materials and more advanced tools and such. Oh, and aren't you fancy writing upside down at 3: 04

I absolutely love this because it looks exactly like something I would build. Saws? Soldering irons? Dremels? Forget that. Duct tape and cardboard are my friends.

Innovative use of everyday materials. Way to think outside the box on this teleprompter build. Thanks!
