TMP 75 Teleprompter Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.ย. 2024
- In this video, I review the new teleprompter from Glide Gear, the TMP 75. amzn.to/2zwfebF (AD) It's similar to Glide Gear's TMP-WB Solo, which has been discontinued, but it doesn't have the exact same features.
Glide Gear TMP 75 Specs:
1. All Metal Construction / Rail Size 189 mm / 7.4" / Glass Size 126mm x 138mm 5 x 5.4" / Weight 900g 2lbs
2. Fits all smartphones
3. For shooting with DSLR & Prompting with Smartphone
4. No assembly required / Collapsible teleprompter for small footprint and easy transport
5. Industry standard beam split glass with 70/30 visible light transmission.
6. It comes with a case!
Teleprompters are great for two things:
1. Being able to read your script while recording (and looking at the camera), and
2. Being able to look someone in the eye on a video conference call and have it look like you're looking them in the eye.
TMP 75 Teleprompter Review
How to Use Glide Gear TMP 75 teleprompter on an internal webcam:
1. Hook the teleprompter brackets over your monitor, lining it up with the camera at the center,
2. Pull up your teleprompting app on your phone with your script
3. Place your phone in front
4. Start recording and run your teleprompter app.
How to Use Glide Gear TMP 75 on an external webcam or DSLR:
It comes with 15-mm rails that you can screw in and attach your camera to. If it's just a webcam sitting on top of your monitor, it may not work as well. You're definitely going to need these 15-mm rails and a tripod if you're going to use a DSLR or external webcam.
How to Use Glide Gear TMP 75 for Video Conferencing:
Why use a teleprompter during a video call?
I work with coaches, and coaches need to connect with their clients. On an ordinary video call, you would be looking at the other person's face on your monitor, and on their end, you would be looking downwards, not at them.
You can achieve this using a teleprompter and an app called Duet Display.
1. Mount your webcam on the 15-mm rails.
2. Set it up on your tripod.
3. Connect your iPhone to your computer/laptop
4. Open Duet Display. The app will run on your phone and your computer. It basically acts as a second monitor.
5. Drag your Zoom/Skype video from your computer monitor to your phone.
6. Place your phone in front of your teleprompter.
7. Now you can see the other person directly in front of the lens of the webcam!

Thank you very much for taking the time to put this video together. It helped me make my decision. I was in the market for an affordable teleprompter that I could use in my online classes. I came here to watch the review for the TMP 75 and ended buying the Caddie Buddy.
That's great. I have a new setup with the Caddy Buddy. No video yet, but you can see all the details here: www.brightonwestvideo.com/blog/tools/the-best-video-conference-setup/
@@brightonwestvideo Thanks! You are the man!
Hi. Is it possible to use a smartphone camera to record video with this teleprompter TMP 75?
Thank you so much for doing such a great product demo on this glide gear teleprompter. Very much appreciated all of your insights.
My pleasure!
Is there a set up or software that makes it possible to use a teleprompter to both read text and as a screen for eye contact during a Zoom webinar?
I believe that the teleprompter performs each of those functions simultaneously.
Can we use this for an outdoor scene in the background?
Great Video. I need a teleprompter. Ordering mine now. Gotta support your channel. 👍👍
Thanks Donell!
Brighton, software similar to Duet for PC is called TwoMon. I've been using it a lot and love it! Thanks for your videos.
Thanks - I'd not heard of TwoMon. Great to know!
I bought this teleprompter from this video. Any chance you have a link to the mini tripod you used in the video. I'm looking at those, and there are so many options. Thanks!
This is the small tripod I prefer now: amzn.to/2Zf3zZE
This is the one from the video: amzn.to/2Z8tkaG
@@brightonwestvideo thanks!
Hi
Thank you for the video.
instead of getting additional software (Duet) to get the Zoom meeting on the phone, wouldn't it just be easier to open the Zoom app on the phone and skip the additional app?
Thank you
Has anyone managed to rig this up in a way where you can mount it on your monitor and use an external webcam?
I really like your explenations and your sincerity. Thanks a lot
Thanks Victoria!
I echo Adams question. I do a lot of Zoom theatre and the ability to look my scene partner in the eye while having the script superimposed over that would be super helpful for shows where I don't have adequate time to learn lines.
Hello, Congratulations Cool 👍👏👏👏
Instead of using a webcam as a camera, could you use an iPhone as your camera for this setup? I am concerned about blocking out the light from the back camera of the iPhone lens. I would also have a Rode Go 2 wireless mic setup to connect to the iPhone.
Thanks is amazing
Glad you like it Zahr
What's the point of hanging it on your screen if it DOESN'T USE YOUR SCREEN ????
Great video, thank you!
You’re welcome Angel
Not sure it it has been mentioned, but on Winderz, if using an iPhone (not sure about Android), you can use xDisplay to extend a second monitor via USB. Works great. I use it for video conference all the time. People always ask how I can constantly keep looking at the webcam.
I really agonized over this decision. I don't think I ever had so much uncertainty over which item to purchase. I started out ready to buy the Parrot Teleprompter. I really didn't want the Caddy Buddy. It cost $50 more for a case, and the build quality didn't seem quite as good as the Glide Gear. But, I wanted to be able to use an iPad. I just thought that was a better way to go. In the end, I thought that the Caddy Buddy was the best overall, so I purchased the Caddy Buddy. THANKS for your great videos and recommendations.
I think you'll be happy with the Caddy Buddy. It has more plastic than the glide gear, but it's also more adjustable. I've had mine for years and never had any problems. Cheers!
Thanks for these great videos. Does this one work on a 13 or 16 inch MacBook Pro using the built-in webcam?
Yes it does Darrin. It will work with anything with a relatively thin monitor (not one of the old CRT style ones.)
Brighton West Video Thanks! The caddy buddy looks good for recording videos, but it doesn’t look like it’s for Zoom calls. Just to be clear, is the Glide Gear the only remaining solution for using a teleprompter during a Zoom call?
@@DarrinBell The Caddie Buddy is great for Zoom calls! I use it all day long. It works best when talking to one other person. Having multiple people on screen they get really small (but they would be smaller on the TMP 75.) Check out this setup: th-cam.com/video/i_GGhZWHYoA/w-d-xo.html. For Zoom only (without needing to read text,) you could probably find a cheaper external monitor or even use an iPad with Sidecar (if your computer and iPad are new) or Duet (if either one is older.) th-cam.com/video/LDqyYMYb8X8/w-d-xo.html
Is there vignetting on the sides of the video with a MacBook Pro?
Would this work with a 1 to 2cm thick monitor and a Logitech C920 external webcam ?
It should work with the monitor, but it doesn't work well with external webcams. You can see that in the video here: th-cam.com/video/sOTyU0uoToU/w-d-xo.html
I did find an Android version of Duet. It is called Spacedesk. Reviews are positive. Have not tried it yet.
Thanks for sharing!
I've used spacedesk, very easy to setup and use.
Hi there thank you so much for this amazing video - have been trying to find something to use with my new MacBook 13 inch 2020 and my Logitech C922 and having it on the rails seems like the perfect fix - if I see the outline of the black I am thinking I can adjust that through webcam settings on my Mac? Also on Amazon the rails don’t seem to be clear - do they all come with the rails? Many thanks again so helpful
I think they all come with rails, but I removed the rails to attach to my MacBook. You should be able to use Logitech Camera Settings (you can download from their website) to adjust the zoom on your camera is needed.
Great videos thank you for this. It's still not a solution for someone who doesn't have a smartphone and it's a lot of expense and jerri-rigging. It seems there should be a much simpler teleprompter solution for using a mounted Logitek 920 webcam on top of computer and using the computer monitor screen as teleprompter while still being able to look directly into the webcam lens. The GlideGear seemed ideal but it is no longer available anywhere so it looks like I am out of luck until I either purchase a Smartphone or they come up with something similar to the Glidegear TMP-WB Solo. Keep a lookout for these Mr. Brighton and keep up the great work.
It looks like we are down to one model that does what you mention. It's expensive and always out of stock (since COVID happened.) You can see my video review of it here: th-cam.com/video/cn4LUoIpf1M/w-d-xo.html. And you could try rigging up cheap external monitor instead of an iPhone. Like this one: amzn.to/2zwCZkf Best of luck!
Mark - someone just shared this video with me. It's definitely a DIY project, but it seems totally doable. And you can use a c920 as the webcam in the tray. th-cam.com/video/2AecAXinars/w-d-xo.html
Curious if you know the difference between the TMP 75 and TMP 100? From Amazon reviews the 100 fixes the issues with the teleprompter getting in the view of the camera, but I don’t understand how it works with a internal webcam. Advice on which model to get would be appreciated. Thanks
The 100 and the 75 are very different. I don’t think it’s possible to use the 100 with an internal webcam - so you’d need an external webcam.
I prefer the separate setup as I have it to the side of my computer at all times. I don’t need to put it on and then remove it from my screen when not in use.
BTW, I like the Caddie Buddy teleprompter more than the tmp100. It’s more flexible.
@@brightonwestvideo Thank you. That's what I kinda thought, but wasn't sure because I don't think the photos of the 2 different products make it very clear, as to what the products work. Love your videos definitely what I was missing for my business.
How would it work with MacBook Pro 16 inches?
Same as this video. This is a 13 inch MacBook Pro, but the camera is in the same spot.
Does this work with a desktop webcam? I hvae gone to Amazon's site and it really doesn't answer the question. Help!
It will work with a low flat style of webcam, but not on higher round one. I had to McGuyver a solution with a tripod to rig it up high enough. Also be careful that your monitor isn't thick as the arms won't hook over it. Good luck!
I noticed your LED light behind the monitor. Do you have a recommendation for a home office model?
Lighting is kinda hard to get right now. Some of my favorite models are out of stock because of shipping disruptions due to COVID. But this is the model I'm recommending right now: amzn.to/2ZpxkHh
Hi Brighton,
Thank you for the review, do you think it would be also a good definitive guide to master eye contact with viewer, If I mirror-flip the slides for my smartphone, and display them through the lens in teleprompter, maybe I can just use bullet points structure to keep my presentation conversational as I always have my whole concept in front of camera.
That sounds like it should work!
Can I use this to read both text and have eye contact with audience on Zoom using my laptop internal camera? I have to do a virtual keynote speech followed with questions from participants.
I was wondering the same thing for the same type of application. @Bright West Video any recommendations?
Thanks for your video, Brighton. When I click your link it takes me to the Glide Gear 75 but the Canadian price is $360. Is there another place to get a more economical version? In your video, I think you mention around $150, I know that is probably in US$ but even if it was $200, that would mean $260ish... I will be using it for my MacBook. Any thoughts?
B&H is showing $200 in Mexico (where I am currently.) Maybe they have a good price for Canada: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1218074-REG/glide_gear_tmp_1_ipad_smartphone_video_teleprompter.html
@@brightonwestvideo Thanks Brighton, It looks like they ship to Canada. $179US, which is much better. I had never heard of B&H, I presume you trust them.
~ Deborah
@@DeborahMarciaRubin I haven't had B&H ship to Canada, but they are great in the US (they are a huge company that is very popular with photographers - totally legit and trustworthy.)
@@brightonwestvideo this helps a lot to know they are reliable. many thanks.
Have you reviewed the tmp50?
I have not reviewed that one. I think it's new. And now I pretty much only use the Caddy Buddy as it's perfect for me.
Nice idea but, how can you read without moving your eyes from right to left? :(
Check out tips 4 and 5 in this video: th-cam.com/video/5X2eK44CMVo/w-d-xo.html
The Bodelin is a small teleprompter, so you don't have a lot of movement in your eyes.
I got my teleprompter but I have an issue. How do I remove the corners of my teleprompter from my screen so the viewers can't see it on my webcam?
It sounds like your webcam has a really wide frame. There are apps to modify the webcam. On a Mac, you can use “webcam settings” or “iglasses” on a PC, it’s supposed to be accessed by clicking 3 dots in any app (but I don’t have a PC to confirm.) you should be able to zoom the camera a little bit.
Gah! Bring back that old system Glide Gear.
I agree!
Does the teleprompter software also work with Android phones?
PromptSmart Pro works with iPhones and Android.
I know that I’m probably showing my ignorance, but do you really need a teleprompter for live coaching conversations?
Not a bad question at all. You do not need a teleprompter. You can just use your laptop with it's built in webcam. The problem is that if you look at your client, they don't see you looking into their eyes, so it's a bit disconnecting. The teleprompter allows you to show their video directly in front of the camera - so when you look into their eyes, they see you looking into their eyes - not at their chin.
@@brightonwestvideo well explained, teleprompter helps a ton, especially you mirror-flip slides and display them in TTL (through the lens) in teleprompter, is great way to master eye contact because you don't read word-for-word and you always have your whole concept in front of camera.
Wow wao dam you good thank you ideally you gave me super short cut thank you teacher teacher cause your help out alots. You deserve the TH-cam award serious. I'll be purchasing from your end you earn it. Thank you happy holiday. From NYC the boogie down Bronx
Glad I could help! Thanks for your kind words!
I don't know if I missed it somewhere below, but to answer the question in your video it does appear that DuetDisplay is compatible with Windows 10. For more information see here: www.duetdisplay.com/help-center/does-duet-work-with-windows#:~:text=Yes!,http%3A%2F%2Fduetdisplay.com%2Fwindows
Use with external webcam - 10:10
But I don't use Iphones or smartphones. I use laptop and pcs!
Sorry - there's only one good option and it's expensive. Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/cn4LUoIpf1M/w-d-xo.html
so confusing, just not getting my feet wet with this whole concept
It is confusing! I call it smoke and mirrors magic. Let me know what you want to accomplish and I might be able to give you some advice.
