Prompter People Flex Plus HB Overview

The Prompter People Flex Plus 17" Teleprompter features a 17" 1000 cd/m² reversing monitor, 60/40 beamsplitter glass, and a 20' reading range. The teleprompter supports nearly any camcorder, ranging from MiniDV to ENG. The teleprompter comes with an aluminum extrusion frame, which enables mounting the camera to the prompter without requiring counterweights. The 60/40 glass and hood can be folded down for transport and storage.

Flip-Q Pro software, with a dual screen scrolling engine, reverses the secondary PC or Mac laptop output without reversing the operator's display. This enables the use of less expensive non-reversing VGA displays without sacrificing the functionality or performance. It features an RTF text editor, and allows you to import RTF and TXT files. Additionally, Flip-Q Pro software offers color background, color fonts, preset font size, color, style, black and white fonts, user selectable cue points, run lists, run from selected cursor and selectable cue marker. The software comes on a USB dongle so that it can be used on multiple computers. Just plug the dongle into the computer you want to use at a given time.

The 60/40 beamsplitter glass provides a bright overlay of text that your talent can read from up to 20' away, yet the text is invisible to your camera.
Supports nearly any camera ranging from MiniDV to DSLR, and ENG cameras.
Aluminum extrusion frame - provides counterweight-free balance when used with any camera size.
Can be easily folded for secure transport and storage.
Top side camera adjustment - allows you to adjust the position of the camera vertically.

Traditional or freestanding mounting is possible. Freestanding mounting is when the glass, hood, and monitor can be mounted on a stand in front of the camera instead of mounting the camera to the prompter and then mounting the entire set up on a tripod.

Prompter People Flex Plus HB Reviews

Poor build quality, worse customer service.

By Chris
Rated 2 out of 5

The build quality is far below expectations. The angles are misaligned and uneven, which is incredibly important for a teleprompter to get right. The product looks and feels cheap and isn't at all what I expected. Except for the molded plastic parts, it feels very DIY, but with less attention to detail. More importantly, we contacted the manufacturer's customer service because the monitor casts a terrible, blue color through the mirror and into the lens. When in blue-light environments, it's not a big deal, but anything lower on the Kelvin scale causes big problems. The cast is uneven and more pronounced where the mirror is color to the monitor. It would be a more straightforward fix if the monitors they use had more color tuning, but they are very limited. Prompter People ignored my team's coorespondance after the first email, where they only wanted proof of purchase (which I provided). Overall, I'm sincerely disappointed in the product, and more so that this company recieved any of my money.

Ok product, poor customer service

I bought this teleprompter in April of 2019. It worked fine, the only issue was how difficult the HDMI port is to access - it's in the back of the monitor, behind the metal part that connects it to the rest of the teleprompter. You need tiny fingers to fit your fingers in that space. I don't have tiny fingers, so I've cut myself several times while trying to wedge in the HDMI cable. By September, the monitor had stopped working. I brought it to the Prompter People to see what the issue was - they said the HDMI port was damaged due to misuse. If it was misused, it was because of the poor design. I am very careful with equipment, especially a teleprompter that costs this much. They wanted to charge $150 for the repair even though it's been just 5 months. Their customer service was no help at all - stay away from Prompter People!
