Review on 📱 GONGYI iPad Teleprompter Kit with Optical 70/30 Beam Split Glass for Zoom Meetings, Video Content Creation, and Online Teaching - Includes Professional Carrying Case (12") by Kyle Awasthi

I'm a girl and I assembled it in about an hour twisting and turning every which way lol but it works! If you naively think the whole concept is easy, think again: it takes as many takes to sync as if you were using a free style for your video, and the jury isn't for me. Be sure to use the controller app as speaking at a constant rate is ridiculous. It seems to be either painfully slow or too fast, and I've tried multiple apps. The controller really helps, BUT! They made the "forward" progress arrow so tiny I miss it, and a stupid start button that I don't need covers the whole screen. So sometimes I sit blindly and push this tiny button like crazy / my finger is already hurting and I still couldn't push the button. It's not a physical controller but if you can buy a physical one with a BIG BUTTON it would be 100% worth it. Overall, I found the whole concept really frustrating, the setup cumbersome and difficult (but doable), and the payout unsatisfying, so paying $200 to be able to read the screen, which I can only say is a half-baked idea that does quite a bit has big intentions behind it. But in the end it didn't save me any time. The device works, the text is legible, but the teleprompter is not to blame! It's still very difficult for me to implement and use it. So the device itself will probably get 4 stars, but overall I'm disappointed with the whole idea of using a teleprompter. I decided to keep the device just in case, but I don't use it in my videos. There aren't any apps to do it naturally, although I've paid a pretty penny and tried some of the best! It's just not for me. I can buy a physical controller and try again. The device itself was solid enough, albeit very complex, like a failed scientific experiment. The lanyard cap doesn't work very well - you basically want a non-zoom lens because it's so heavy and blocks lens movement. I managed to find a nice clear position where they weren't touching, but be careful, your camera doesn't work at all when the lens is locked. This lid also tends to fall off easily and is cheap and clunky. I really wanted to love and appreciate it but I just can't - very difficult to use, very time consuming and just not worth the effort for me.
