Using this for longer videos - make it much easier to complete a video in one take.

I tried this both with my smartphone and my professional mirrorless camera and it proved to be very useful for having access to my scripts and reading them whilst looking at the camera, without compromising much on the quality. I mean by placing the camera inside of the teleprompter, the lighting becomes quite dim and requires you to bump the settings, either by decreasing the shutter speed, changing the aperture or iso settings, or adding a lot of external lighting. Also there are compromises with the field of view and the types of lenses you can use, especially with regards to shooting distance. However, this is quite expected, as this teleprompter is better suited for situations where you face the camera either for vlogging, or reviewing something while not moving angles much.The dedicated app provides a good tool for uploading and managing a script. You can adjust the colours, fonts, size, etc. It also comes with a joystick that provides many control features. I tried to fit both a smartphone and iPad to read from, but I definitely preferred the iPad as it takes advantage of the large coated area and makes scripts more visible.The teleprompter is very sturdy in terms of build quality. The metal base and parts give an impression of safety and I wasn't worried about my £3000 camera setup when it was mounted on it.All in all, this is quite a reliable teleprompter that would solve a lot of issues and save you a lot of time if you rely on long scripts for videos, vlogs, conference talks, etc.

Though it’s expensive, the great solid build of this iPad/iPhone teleprompter makes it worth the price. The frame is strong and secure and the tripod mount is excellent; I’d have no fear when attaching an expensive camera as the promoter is really solid and well balanced.Unfortunately the accompanying Moman Prompter app is really poor. Like any promoter app it allows you to import a text doc or to type in on the spot. But, bizarrely, the rudimentary app doesn’t allow you to type in landscape mode (ie with an iPad keyboard attached) because the app window (just a blank page for text) doesn’t rotate! It’s like the developers have never seen an iPad before: almost all iPad keyboards work in landscape mode!! So, after buying this expensive gadget, you’ll end up typing in landscape while turning your head 90 degree to try to see what you’re typing. And in top of that, though you can enlarge the text perfectly in Play mode, when you’re inputting there are no such controls so it’s almost impossible to see what you’re doing. Finally, the remote control isn’t great either. It has speed up, slow down and play/pause buttons, which is good, but the build quality is awful and the play/pause button is so noisy it’s almost guaranteed to show up in your audio recording. Such a pity: for a bit of extra thought and care this could be a genius product.

So the MT16 hardware itself is solid— the wrinkle is the Moman Prompter App, only supports Android up to version 10. On newer devices like mine - Android 12 - it installs but then crashes or refuses to open - Don't look for any support after hours or at the weekend - leave a message and your email. COME ON PEPS - GET WITH THE PROGRAM.

If you are a YouTuber or have your channel, this is paramount for your recordings.What struck me is the fact that this teleprompter comes with everythingFirst of all, it doesn't have one it has 3 /tripod screws of different sizes to work with most cameras plus an additional arm with 2 extensible catches to make sure you can shoot with everything from Cameras to phones ....to go pros.The mirror stands on a metal rig that can be adjusted to phones, tablets etc and also the mirror itself can be adjusted to the cameras/phone/go pro.It does come with a remote as well that works with the manufacturer's APP, however, I did not manage to find the app on android for my tablet, but I did manage to find it separately on the manufacturer's page. The issue is when I installed it crashed ...so long story short I installed a different app which works just as fine. I didn't take it down a star for the app because the rig works fine without it and it might just be the fact that the app is not made for my tablet.All in all a good professional tool with high versatility, and way more options than the other ones on the market I would advise to buy it.

The prompter itself is pretty good quality but there isn't much to go wrong as its just some metal holding up a piece of glass. What lets this down is the fact that the remote control is rubbish and glitchy. Mine worked for a bit then stopped working. My ipad said it was connected to its bluetooth but still nothing.When I tried to control the speed of the text manually to try and get around this that was very sensitive and the rolling words were either too fast or too slow.If they fixed these issues it would be good.
