The iFootage RB-A200 monopod should be a better choice than what I am using.
Since the small 1/4”-20 t-handle knob nearest the Manfroto mounting plate was hitting the mounting plate, I replaced it with a standard hex head 1/4”-20 bolt. I am using the upside down telescopic baby stand extension in combination with a Matthews Mounting Plate with 5/8” Receiver and a Manfrotto 208 3/8” Head Mounting Plate with Lock Screws.

B&H can advise you better than I can on this. I believe Prompter People and iKan are both very well built, with the iKan brand being just a tad more popular. This Prompter People model is very tempting. #WEBCAM TELEPROMPTER PORTABLE#

This smaller GlideGear model will only support a standard sized iPad such as the one you see me using in the video.I would have been just as well off with a 35mm prime lens as I am with my 16mm to 35mm wide angle zoom lens. When using a full-frame camera, a focal length less than 35mm is likely to show the edges of the teleprompter hood.This GlideGear model will support the larger iPad Pro.This is the teleprompter shown in the video.Teleprompter Interesting Teleprompter Choices I have also included links to various sound and lighting equipment.Īlthough this hardware can greatly improve the quality of your remote meetings, don’t expect the experience to be as good as in-person can be.
