Perfect Choice for Self-Taping Auditions and Home Videos

If you're an actor looking for something cheap to help you out with those auditions that require quite a bit of talking to the camera, this is it. The size is small enough that you can see yourself in your camera's flip out screen and when you're reading, your eyes don't move as if they're reading something. It's light and compact enough that it doesn't require a lot of space to store and transport. Also, it's very cheap, compared to pretty much every other teleprompter out there.

Perfect for 4-6 feet from camera.

Works great for my Sony ZV-1 and my a6600. Reflection from my phone works great for 4-6 feet distances. This is the perfect bloggers teleprompter.

Works as long as you're close!

For what it is, this works like a charm. It doesn't require a complex or weighty tripod rig. It just fits right on your lens, and even though the screen area is small, it's usable at relatively close distances.

A great tool to enhance your video content and organization

The Padcaster Parrot Teleprompter was just as advertised. The mounting rings fit the cameras I intended using and fit snug onto the Parrot body. The Bluetooth remote paired easily with my phone and worked well with the Parrot smartphone app. The remote buttons are a little "clicky" so may get picked up by your mic. I've used both the supplied remote and a Bluetooth keyboard to control the app successfully. Indoors, the words are easy to read and I like the ability to adjust the width of the display to match the mirrored area in the app. Outside the words wash out a bit making them more difficult to read on a sunny day. I really like the ability to link to my Dropbox account to get my scripts. Much easier than emailing them to myself and importing them into the app. Overall I'm very pleased.

Nice little teleprompter

It securely holds my phone, and the text shows/scrolls nicely. However, the remote buttons are very hard to press, so I actually ended up not using it. Interesting thing I found out: With my full frame camera, if I use the Sigma 24mm f/1.4, you can see the edges. However, if you enable APS-C crop mode, that will take off the dark edges. So, that was an easy fix. The adapter ring can get stuck to your camera's filter, but not that big of an issue imho. Even though the width is relatively small, you can spot eye movement when you are up close and you're staring at the subject eyes. When I record, I'm up close to the camera most of the time, and I haven't tried this with longer focal lengths. Overall, the setup time + possibly seeing eyes "reading" is worth it given the time savings if I need to re-record a bunch of times.

Product Great, but the Service was Exceptional!!

The product was great but the service that Adorama provided to me was exceptional. Needing the product as soon as possible, Thomas B. took my order over the phone and answered my questions I had about the product, then expedited the processing and shipping of it so I received it within 3 business days from the East Coast to the West Coast. The Parrot teleprompter is a must for anyone looking to make great videos with lengthy scripts. No need to memorize just familiarize and you can make some great footage.

Fantastic teleprompter, very easy to use

This is a truly excellent telepromoter, and is so easy to use. I used to have a much larger promoter, running off an iPad, but it was so much more complex to set up, and I ended up never using it because my eye movement left to right showed up too much. My only slight niggle is that I can't use it with a lens wider than around 35 mm (I'm using Sigma 18-35 on a 0.71 speedbooster on the GH5s, and I can go to 25mm in UHD = 33.9mm FF equivalent) as the sides show in the image. But 35mm is usually plenty. The remote is excellent, you just have to master how to push the buttons quietly, otherwise the noise can pick up on the audio. But that would be the same for any other product. It is possible with a little practice. Overall I'm very pleased with this, and have already used it way more than my old one, which cost 4 times as much!

Perfect tool for the job at a great price point!

Game Changer. This product has changed up how I deliver scripted messages to my audience. I couldn't imagine how to deliver my scripts without it. The price point is perfect for beginners, if fits so many cameras, and it does exactly what it says it does. For my online courses, the set up can't be beat. Highly recommend. Components are sturdy. I've enjoyed using it so far.

Works Great. Remote is loud. Can't use on a wide lens.

This is great. It works perfectly. The only issue I have is that the clicks of the remote can be heard in the video recording and you can't use this with a wide lens. I'm using it with a 20mm lens on a Sony A6600 and that is working.

First time using a teleprompter - I love this product!

I am so happy with this purchase! I bought it to record a sudden speech that I needed to nail and keep concise. I'd never used a teleprompter before and was unsure of how it would look from a filming perspective, and I was also nervous about a possible learning curve on using it. However, it's super easy to use. I figured it out in minutes. You'd also NEVER know I was reading off of something. It aligns perfectly with the camera lens. The product is compact, and I'm eager to use it even more now - creating concise, effective videos for my business while saving me time.

Save Time And Make More Money!

I've been creating videos for decades and typically talking at length about people, places or things. I"ve always struggled with memorizing scripts and that's forced me to redo shoots time and again until I get the whole script read. The Padcaster Parrot Portable Smartphone Teleprompter has changed my life in just a day! Reading was never the problem, it was only memorizing things. You'll have more time and make more money with this prompter, and it comes with everything you need!

Lots of potential but falls short on quality

There are many great things about this smartphone teleprompter; it’s inclusion of a remote, coming with every lens adapter on earth, and it’s diminutive size. There are a few glaring flaws however. The interface through the app is clunky and outdated. The remote only half functions (good enough for up and down scrolling as well as stop and play), and the screen causes a slight double image. One of the most annoying issues is that with larger smartphones the holder tends to give up after a bit and the phone slides out. In the end though, it works. And because there is a definite lack of alternatives, I have to give it high stars because it is effective at being a teleprompter. It does come with an unusually large lens cleaner, very nice to have, and a lens brush so that’s a bonus.

Compact But Useful and Effective

I wished I’ve bought this teleprompter long ago. The reason I’ve been waiting for so long is the teleprompter’s prices are out of my budget until I found this Padcaster Parrot Portable Teleprompter. It’s reasonable and compact. I now can speed up my work 5 times faster. The nice thing is the Parrot teleprompter comes with the mounting rings which can fits any size of your lenses. Highly recommend this teleprompter

Almost perfect inexpensive and easy teleprompter solution.

Might seem slightly pricey for a hunk of plastic, but well designed and works very well if you don't fidget with it. App leaves much to be desired and could benefit greatly from voice recognition scrolling. Device only works with certain focal lengths of lenses. Do your research.

30mm lens or above when full frame

Seems to work as advertised but unfortunately the small size means you will see the edges of prompted when on a full frame camera below 30mm. Unfortunate since I wanted to use this with a 24mm lens on a full frame camer

Kit does not come with code to use the app.

I'm almost certain these reviews are paid. This kit doesn't come with a code you're going to need to use the app. I don't know where to get the code so I guess i can't use the app? You'll have to find a third party app and pay for the services to properly use the prompter. I wouldn't waste your money.

The best teleprompter kit for the price!

The best teleprompter kit you can get especially for the price at Adorama. The unit itself works really good, and very clear to see the what you'll need to read off the teleprompter. Thank you Adorama. At the time when I was looking to purchase this unit, no one had it in stock except you guys. Thanks so much.

Perfect for vlogging

By Michael I.

This thing is great! I needed a teleprompter to use when vlogging, especially for longer monologues. Unlike prompters that I can see from across the studio, this is small and light, which allows me to hold the camera with one hand to point it back at myself. The variety of rings allow me to use it with just the built-in lens of my camcorder, or with the wide angle adapter. I can also use it as a supplement in multi-camera shoots with a camera on a stedicam-type rig. The only issue I have had...

The Parrot Teleprompter is an ultra-compact teleprompter system that sets up in minutes. It weighs approximately 0.4 lbs and measures just 4 x 4.5". The Parrot Teleprompter uses the same quality 30R/70T beam splitter glass found in high-end teleprompters at a fraction of the cost. It works with any smartphone on our free Parrot app. Simply pull down on the bottom section of the Parrot's four-sided frame and place your phone on it.

The Parrot app is user-friendly and available for both iOS and Android. Parrot also comes with nine mounting rings to easily attach directly to the lens filter thread of almost any camera system - and it's a perfect fit for Padcaster for iPad and Verse Mobile Media products. Also includes the Parrot Bluetooth Remote and Glass Cleaning Kit.
