Teleprompter Glass & Housings
| Type | Best For | Pros | Watch Outs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beam-splitter glass | DSLR/Mirrorless rigs | Sharp text, pro look | Requires sturdy tripod |
| Clamp-on tablet rigs | Podcasts, classrooms | Fast setup, affordable | Limited to smaller cameras |
| Smartphone cradles | On-the-go updates | Ultra portable | Short focal distance |
Lighting Kits
Combine a key, fill, and background light for depth. For a budget option, pair two LED panels with a bounce reflector. For studio builds, consider softboxes or RGB tubes. Reference Voice & Performance Coaching for pacing tips once lighting is set.
Microphones & Audio
- USB condenser: Plug-and-play for desktops; pair with pop filter.
- Lavalier mic: Great for standing delivery; plug into audio interface or recorder.
- Shotgun mic: Keep off-camera with a boom arm to reduce reflections.
Accessories
Use articulating arms for monitors, remote clickers for timed mode, and cable sleeves for tidy setups. Store everything in a rolling case if you travel between shoots.
