Excellent and Versatile Prompter
This is a simple, sturdy unit that has a really nice feature in that the prompter and camera mount are combined into a single unit making balancing very easy. The built-in height adjustment for the camera is terrifica as well, easily accomodating a smallish video camera as well as larger rigs with baseplates, rods, etc.. Fair warning, the entire unit is very bulky and you'll need a long case to carry it assembled, or something like a Pelican 1620 if you carry it broken down. Also, I didn't see a good way to protect the mirror other than inserting a piece of foam between the mirror and iPad tray during travel. Not a deal breaker, but moderately annoying. Function is excellent - talent likes it and it is far easier, safer and more professional than trying to jerry-rig something.
It just works
This is easy to set up and use. The only issue was getting it to work with the iPhone, but twiddling with settings on both devices finally pulled the system together. It's great to not need to repurchase expensive technology.
