WEBCAM TELEPROMPTER PRO

If it supports everything I’m hoping for, I could use at least 2 in my setups. I look forward to hopefully getting my hands on this for review. I remain cautiously optimistic (as always)! Price will be a concern, and plenty of people will continue to chime in about how they can “make this for so much cheaper” with existing parts, but Elgato provides solutions that removes the friction (or jank) to DIY-ing your own solution, and they rarely miss in this regard. But they could be better.Īnd while Elgato doesn’t have a formal announcement of a Teleprompter product, GM Julian Fest clearly isn’t afraid to acknowledge its existence. This will certainly increase the cost to the user – and I do worry about compatibility if the monitor is only USB-C connected – but ultimately a user will need to buy such a monitor anyway (a phone isn’t going to work for anything but a script) so this could be yet another example of Elgato taking existing products in a space and perfecting them into a solution for content creators and streamers. Having rigged together countless different teleprompter configurations for webcam and streaming purposes, fitting a small field monitor in the clamp section of a normal teleprompter (typically meant to hold a phone) is obnoxious, and not all of them support the mirroring required to reflect up at the teleprompter and be legible to the user. It’s been suggested to me by those at TwitchCon that this is a USB C monitor, built into the teleprompter and Elgato was gathering feedback from creators about the viability of such a design. It would appear that this teleprompter has a monitor built-in. Julian Fest, General Manager of Elgato, responding to a streamer’s request for a sample teleprompter. I can only assume they’ll also offer a similar mount for their original Facecam webcam, as well as some sort of circular cutout for traditional camera lenses.

We see an Elgato Facecam Pro webcam mounted on the height-adjustable mounting plate, with what seems to be a swappable mount option, custom-sized for Elgato’s webcam. The shell itself very much resembles the DesView T3 knockoff teleprompter (a product which violates Padcaster‘s patents, according to my conversations with Padcaster), but everything else looks much more exciting.

A TwitchCon Paris visitor on Twitter posted a photo of a demo Elgato seems to have been hosting at the Twitch event demoing a wide-angle-looking teleprompter.
