Elgato Prompter

An enthusiast-tier teleprompter with a built-in screen that doubles as a second monitor, aimed at talking-head and YouTube reads. Its self-contained, no-app design simplifies setup. It works best with typical lenses; if you shoot with large cinema lenses, check lens clearance first, as the beam-splitter opening may not accommodate a big front element.
