Elgato Prompter
All-in-one desk teleprompter with a built-in 9-inch screen that doubles as a second monitor - read scripts, chat or calls while looking into the lens.
4.3 / 5
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Highly recommended
Strengths
- Genuinely all-in-one: traditional prompters need a separate tablet, this has the screen built in
- Works as a normal secondary monitor - drag in Google Docs, OBS chat, a Zoom call, anything
- Fits DSLRs, mirrorless, webcams and phones via included rings and brackets
Watch outs
- Modest 1024 x 600 resolution - fine for scripts, cramped for 4K monitoring
- No remote control included; smooth manual speed control really wants a Stream Deck or foot pedal
- Reading proximity can make eye movement visible on camera until practised
- Display Built-in 9-inch panel, 1024 x 600, appears as a standard secondary monitor
- Glass Beamsplitter - part reflective (shows the screen), part transparent (camera shoots through)
- Camera support DSLR/mirrorless via backplate with 9 step-up rings (49-82mm); webcams and smartphones via universal bracket; dedicated Facecam backplate
- Connection Single USB-C to the computer (signal and power); DisplayLink driver auto-installs; USB 3.0 required
