Reviews
"The construction of the Interact is pretty basic - and so there are screw heads popping out in bad places, or nuts that make it hard to mount to certain tripods. And the mounting plate is too large - it makes it hard to get the battery out of my Canon DSLR (although it is possible - but usually involves removing the battery door."
"Additionally, while the tray will hold an iPad Pro (12.9" big one), the glass is not wide enough to view it."
"For the money this is an excellent entry-level teleprompter."
"I have searched teleprompter for our host recording for a long time. The rods are pretty strong, made of metal, not plastic. I don't even need to take out the lens hood, though I do need to take out the protruding shot gun mic."
"I used Promtsmart Pro which cost $20 which Caddie Buddy recommends which was a little frustrating, a lot of times it scrolled to fast."
"Affordable, easy to use and it works."
"The velcro is a little annoying as it's only stuck on with a tacky substance, but it's not enough to discourage me from recommending it to everyone I know who works with scripts on video."
"You have to have in mind that someone will have to help holding the black cloth or you'll have to clamp it down somehow so it doesn't get into the shot especially if using an iPhone or a small camera with it."

Reviews
"Works fine but is very flimsy and I don't quite feel confident that it's gonna hold if I over-tighten the screws."
"Great camera."
"This product really exceeded my expectations considering the price."
"Product arrived today online and looks great!"
"This was a very pleasant surprise and makes it super easy to tighten this down onto your 15mm rods even if your lens or a follow focus or other accessory is really tightly mounted together with the Teleprompter. CONS. No instructions in the box so you have to fiddle with it for a while to figure out exactly how this thing works and how to adjust the angle of the glass for viewing."
"However the glass produces a very noticeable double image, which has been an issue with people who have poor eyesight. You should buy a cheap 15mm rail system tripod adapter if you plan to use it that way."
"-It does cost a bit more than other budget teleprompters and that seriously made me hesitate to buy it, but it seems that the price difference is because the Glide Gear actually is made to last instead of being something that has the functionality but not the ease of use and durability."
"Doesn't have an easily adjustable angle."

Reviews
"Wasn't thrilled that they don't all come with a battery but it makes shooting video so much easier!"
"My main reason for getting this was because I have a Nikon D5200 and there is no headphone output on it to listen to whats being recorded with an External mic. Admittedly I didn't fiddle with settings much so I may be able to correct that."
"the small screen on my camera just doesn't offer enough feedback on small bumps and jarring of the camera to cause me to be more careful in my panning and zooming."
"If you press the power button it will turn off for a second and then turns right back on. I know there are better monitors out there but this allows me to get perfect focus every time and that's why I got it."
"Great product for the money."
"Surprisingly clear and very bright."
"Picture is clear and near perfect for what you are getting here."
"Have been running the monitor on an NP-F960 battery and the weight must have just finally got to the screen."

Best Photographic Studio Photo Backgrounds

Prism Backdrop by Ravelli 6x10' Chromakey Green Muslin Photo Video Background, 100% Cotton, 150GSM Weight, Flocked on One Side, (5.7x9’ after pre-shrinkage)
And cotton backdrops do have issues – frustrating wrinkles, background light bleeding through the weave pattern, staining, dust collection, etc. The Flocked surface reflects significantly less light and gives a softer look when photographed. Flocked cotton will collect dust more easily and the fibers can shed or “pearl” in little balls. Prism backdrops use premium dyes for whiter whites, blacker blacks, and true colors. The sides of the backdrops are stitched to avoid unravelling and a 3.4" rod pocket is sewn into the top. Bright and True Colors, Single Piece Seamless Design, 3.4” Rod Pocket, Stitched Edges.
Reviews
"With some additional clips I purchased, I was able to keep the backdrop taught enough to remove most of the wrinkles."
"This is a nice low-cost background that I use with a backdrop stand I built out of 1" PVC pipe."
"Yes, rolled Muslin saves you the trouble of removing wrinkles - however I believe one of the best and most affordable investments you can make for your studio be it your first one or professional is a portable garment steamer. Professional dry cleaner steamers are available as well but run well over $150 and unless you're pressing shirts on the side in my opinion would be overkill. The quality of stitching on the backdrop is impressive and the sleeve is double stitched for extra security and will fir over any support pole without a single problem."
"I purchased this with the understanding that it would include a black pouch for storage."
"Wrinkle removing trick- Hang it up and stretch it with 3-4 muslin clamps to your frame (each side). I discovered this with a REALLY heavy green screen muslin and could not believe how easy this east to get "wrinkle free"."
"I fixed that by looking up homemade de-wrinkler and I found a "Recipe" that included a cup of hot water, a tablespoon of fabric softener and rubbing alcohol (This made it dry faster), but I sprayed it on and used my hand to "pet" the fabric outwards."
"First, the color is much much lighter than the one shown on the picture (and it has a horrible denim look to it); second, this is a thin cotton fabric and not your normal muslin; third, the size is much smaller than what they tell you."
