Review on πŸ“± Glide Gear TMP 50: A Versatile 10" Smartphone Mini Tripod Teleprompter for Enhanced Video Production by Ken Hamdan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent quality and easy to use!

In general, the main thing is well done - with metal parts that are pre-assembled, and the transparency of the glass is excellent. I put the Apple Air 3 on the front - had to slide it into place otherwise it wouldn't fit - but it fits perfectly from the side. The phone camera mount on the back is almost sticky, but not quite, and works well with most small phones. I threw it in and put on the one that screws onto the phone and it's a lot easier in every way, and it also handles my iPhone 12 Pro Max without having to pull the fuck out to install it. The fabric lid is well made, but made of a heavy, rather stiff material - a material that drapes better and closes more easily and better would be better. I was able to get it up and running in minutes - and I'm definitely going to keep it - it's a keeper. It cost $8 to upgrade to a better phone holder. The masking material seemed to work well for testing in a fully lit room, but I covered it with a thick, large microfiber cloth to completely darken it. The hard material it comes from is really hard. It comes with a nice case and folds very flat - about half the thickness of the case. I immediately installed two apps on my iPad - one because it automatically scrolls for your voice. - It understands what you've read and moves the script when you need to move it and stops when you decide to pause or catch your breath. Tip Smart The near-zero learning curve is like a learning curve. The phone holder I added is: Vastar Universal Smartphone Tripod Adapter Cell Phone Holder Adapter Suitable for iPhone Samsung and All Phones Rotate Vertically and Horizontally Adjustable Clamp https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L3B5PBI/ref =ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I only used one part - I bought 2 of these - they work well and fit big fat phones with protective cases, wallets and batteries. well - and they're well built - no more pulling the spring like hell and then pushing it into place. The main reason I actually bought this is to be able to look straight into the camera while talking to Zoom folks - it works great for that, but as someone who does Zoom meetings I really need to from time to time looking at the computer screen when there appears to be an activity in progress. I use Duet for this - it allows my Mac to mirror to my iPad which I place under the mirrored screen. This way all members appear where the camera is behind the screen - now I can see and speak, each person is looking directly at them - (at least close enough to the director that it seems direct). I am happy with this purchase

Pros
  • A lot of positive emotions
Cons
