A fully usable teleprompter setup for large screens up to about 13". Works with lenses down to 20mm (full-frame equivalent) or possibly even wider!
It uses a standard 15mm LWS rod system for flexibility and strength.
The screen used is a salvaged 11.6" panel with a breakout board, but you can use any display that works for you or even an iPad with it.

Here are the parts you'll need besides the printed parts:

  • 295x295mm 3mm polystyrene sheet (acrylic works, too)
  • Roughly 400x400mm piece of black cloth
  • A handful of M4x18mm screws and washers (or equivalent imperial size)
  • A handful of M4 threaded inserts (or equivalent imperial size)
  • One 1/4"-20 screw for the camera quick release (coinslot preferred)
  • 2x 300mm 15mm dia LWS rods (carbon fiber or aluminum) http://go.toms3d.org/15mmRods
  • Base plate (between Manfrotto plate and rod clamps) http://go.toms3d.org/rodBase
  • Camera quick release (arca swiss) http://go.toms3d.org/ArcaSet
  • Teleprompter quick release (Manfrotto) http://go.toms3d.org/ManeBase

Insert threaded inserts into the appropriate spots.
