Description

A fully usable teleprompter setup for large screens up to about 13". Works with lenses down to 20mm (full-frame equivalent) or possibly even wider!
It uses a standard 15mm LWS rod system for flexibility and strength.
The screen used is a salvaged 11.6" panel with a breakout board, but you can use any display that works for you or even an iPad with it.
