Teleprompter for HD-100 at DVinfo.net

Lew Barger · February 23rd, 2007, 07:19 AM

I'm looking for a teleprompter which will work well with the HD-100. Would like to spend NMT $1500.

Any reccomendations?

a teleprompter is truly a camera model agnostic accessory, and you will probably get much more useful responses posting in another section of the forum. I assume you need a through the lens model, but refine your question - there are 3 general styles.
a/ When cued responses are needed, but the subject can be looking off camera, as in an interview, rigs are quite simple. I use a laptop running cheap software for this.
b/ A stand-alone rig is a simpler construction when the camera does not need to make any major moves. The mirror device and monitor sit on a stand by themselves in front of the camera - I've improvised this in studio situations.
c/ a rig that holds all parts, balanced on the camera tripod allows camera moves needs dedicated hardware. It is needed much of the time.
