Padcaster Little Prompter
The Padcaster Little Prompter is a beginner-tier, phone-driven teleprompter aimed at desk video — webcam calls, laptop cameras, and compact DSLR scripts. It's an entry tool rather than a production piece, best for talking-head work at a desk. Anyone needing prompter glass for larger lenses or run-and-gun field shooting should look at a fuller rig.
