The $20 DIY Teleprompter
Here at The Video Pro Guys, we were tired of losing time and taking 1,000 takes for our videos, so we’ve decided to build a professional looking foldable teleprompter for $20.
Part list:
1 x 8″x10″ Picture Frame
1 x sheet of felt
1 x 3/8″ thread insert
2 x 4″ mending plates
2 x #8×1″ screws
2 x #4×1/2″ screws
1 x set of 1.25″ hinges
3′ of self-stick velcro
20 x 30 black foam sheet
Plywood the same size than your picture frame (We have settled for melamine in the video)
Watch the video and follow along.
In much the same way, tablets such as the Apple iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab have allowed budget conscious video pros more accessible options, up to and including building a teleprompter to house a tablet from scratch.
