The adapters screw onto the camera’s lens filter threads and most common sizes are included. It’s great that you’ve got a whole range of camera adapters that are shipped with the Parrot. The sides of the prompter are just wide enough for the sides of the screen, but if you’re using a larger phone, you can adjust margins in the app so all of your text is displayed. My iPhone 6 in a bulky Otterbox case fits in the space for the phone. We’ve got a nice, big camera bag that we pack all of our gear in (the camera, a light, the microphones) and there’s still room to add the prompter as well. The items individually are $90 and $19.99, so there’s not any savings for the bundle, but I liked the idea of having a remote that the anchor can use to control the speed of the text. I purchased the prompter and remote bundle from B&H Photo. We’ve now moved to a monthly show that’s more of a newsmagazine format. Weekly broadcasts were a huge time suck and weren’t producing any sort of compelling storytelling. The more we thought about it though, the more we realized this was actually a blessing. I found this out just a few days before school began and the staff and I were at first frustrated that someone else had encroached on our turf. This year, announcements are handled through a new campus information system, which rendered our announcement broadcasts useless. After sorting my results for price, I stumbled on the Parrot V2. On a whim, I decided to search the B&H website to see what they had. My plan was to build one of these (which could be accomplished for around $30-$40) and purchase an inexpensive tablet and use that. I looked into various DIY options, and found several that would’ve rather cost-effective, but they all required the use of an iPad or similar tablet, which we didn’t have. It occurred to me that a teleprompter could solve some of those problems. This meant there wasn’t always a lot of time for the announcer to rehearse and many of the announcers (the students have opted to rotate this job) weren’t been able to quickly memorize the script. Typically, my multimedia editor wrote the script and recorded the broadcast in the same class (we’re on a block schedule). As the weeks went on, we made improvements, but one of the first issues I noticed was eye contact. We do not have any way to broadcast live in our building, and so we would record the announcements in advance and then I sent an email out to our faculty each week with a link to the current broadcast. Inspired by our school’s makerspace instructor who teaches a bias toward action, we launched the broadcast at the beginning of September. Our building has had issues with communication for years, and so the students have implemented a weekly announcement broadcast as a service to the school. At the time, I had one Student Media Production class of seven kids (this year we have 14 on staff) that is responsible for both our yearbook and our website (my program is fully converged). It's compact size makes it easy to throw in your camera bag and take it wherever you go for your next interview, on location news report, documentary, video blog, podcast, corporate video, video tutorial, or speech.Last year my students added broadcast to our student media program. It's innovative design removes all the unnecessary components which allows you to mount the Parrot Teleprompter directly to any standard DSLR or digital camcorder lens.

The Parrot teleprompter is a professional quality teleprompter at an affordable price that still delivers a professional quality experience.Ĭombined with virtually any smartphone, the Parrot Teleprompter will take any script and scroll it in front of you so you no longer need to memorize what you want to say on camera. Until now teleprompters have been reserved for large budget productions often costing thousands of dollars. Teleprompters display a script in front of the camera so the subject can read their lines and maintain eye contact with the audience. If you've ever tried to memorize lines for a video, then you know how challenging it can be.
