Teleprompter X16

I’ve been using this monitor daily for both work and entertainment, and the performance has been outstanding. The display is sharp with vivid colors and excellent brightness, making it great for photo/video editing as well as gaming. The refresh rate is smooth, and I haven’t noticed any screen tearing or lag. The design is sleek with thin bezels, which makes it ideal for multi-monitor setups. The stand is sturdy and offers good adjustment options for tilt and height, helping me set up an ergonomic workspace. Setup was simple — plug and play with HDMI/DisplayPort, and it worked perfectly right away. The on-screen controls are intuitive, and it’s easy to adjust settings like brightness, contrast, and color profiles. Overall, this monitor delivers professional-level quality at a great value. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable display for productivity, creative work, or entertainment.

I've only had this teleprompter for a couple of weeks, but so far, I've really liked it. It was easy to assemble and get working. The included monitor is great! I like the fact that this particular teleprompter does not simply "hang" on your camera lens the way some of the cheaper makes and models do. It doesn't come with a remote control however. I bought a foot pedal remote for it, which works great. I've set it up about 12 feet away from me, and I can read it just fine. This is a great gadget to have if you do content creation or presentations.

This teleprompter works very well and has a quality build, with a few exceptions. Issues: • The darkbox has thin (thickness) zipper banding that allows light to pass through it. In some cases this allows light to come through the image if there are lights behind the prompter. It also feels like the zipper would be the first thing to break if you were to pack this up and move it around (a suggested use case given the included storage / transport box). • The display tray doesn't squeeze a display (it locks in place but doesn't apply pressure) so if this prompter were mobile (maybe on a shoulder rig or dolly) the display could slide out the side. This could be improved with some cushioning foam to grip the display. Features • The prompter has a mostly metal construction • The adjustable pull out display tray is fairly rigid and doesn't limit the horizontal display size (I'm using a ProArt [PA148].) • There are mounting shoes in the front and sides of the prompter which could hold lights or a microphone. • The camera height and distance is adjustable (fits my A7 IV with a Sigma 24-70.) • There are multiple locations for mounting a tripod plate to the bottom, which allows for balancing the prompter. Tip: If you want to use this as an external display (wired to a computer) you'll have a horizontally flipped video by default. To fix this, I used OBS Studio (which is free) to 'Window Capture' the content that should be on the prompter, flip it (Right click 'Source' > Transform > Flip Horizontal), and then project it (Right click 'Scene' > Fullscreen Projector (Scene) > select the prompter display).

The NEEWER Teleprompter X17 II is a solid teleprompter option for professionals seeking a mix of durability, functionality, and ease of use. While it has many strengths, a few minor design quirks hold it back from perfection. Here’s the full rundown: Pros 1. Excellent Build Quality: The all-metal frame is robust and premium, ensuring long-term durability and stability during use. 2. Great Value for Money: Considering its large 17" HD beamsplitter, sturdy construction, and compatibility with a range of devices, it’s a competitive option in its price range. 3. Functionality: The upgraded camera mount and QR plate compatible with Manfrotto 501PL make mounting and adjustments a breeze, supporting a wide variety of setups. 4. Ease of Installation: The teleprompter comes pre-assembled, allowing for quick and hassle-free setup—a major plus for those on tight schedules. 5. Compact Size for the Features: Despite its professional-grade capabilities, the design remains streamlined, making it manageable to transport and use on smaller sets. Cons 1. Knobs Need Improvement: The adjustment knobs feel a bit clunky and could benefit from better ergonomics or smoother action. 2. Slide Mechanism Could Be Smoother: While functional, the sliders lack the fluidity you’d expect from a premium product, occasionally causing slight delays in setup adjustments. 3. App Usability Issues: The companion app is functional but not intuitive. It could use an update to enhance responsiveness and user-friendliness, especially for script editing and playback controls. Overall Take The NEEWER Teleprompter X17 II stands out for its sturdy construction, professional functionality, and ease of use. While minor tweaks like improved knobs, smoother sliders, and a refined app experience would elevate its performance, it’s still a strong contender for videographers, educators, and content creators. For the price, it delivers excellent value and reliability, making it a worthy addition to your gear lineup.

Our clients and content creators can finally read their scripts comfortably without struggling to see tiny text on those small, budget teleprompters. We added this unit to our gear lineup to complement our other 14" teleprompter, and it’s exceeded every expectation. The value is unbeatable, especially since it includes its own hard case. Setup couldn’t be easier: open the case, unfold, zip it into position, and you’re ready to roll. The build quality rivals and even surpasses some of our higher-priced models. The beam splitter glass is flawless—text appears crystal clear and sharp, with zero reflections during recording. It’s lightweight, portable, and perfect for both studio and on-location shoots. Having worked with teleprompters for decades, I can confidently say the Neewer X14III offers the best performance and value of any model we’ve owned. Highly recommended for professionals and creators alike!

This teleprompter has dramatically improved both my eye-contact and easy of filming. 1. Adjusting the text scrolling area in the app to be where the camera lens is located will keep your eyes from moving or appearing to look elsewhere. This makes your production more engaging! 2. Adjusting the size of text and its scrolling speed will smooth out your vocal quality and this makes the audience more likely to keep watching. What you need to do is practice reading and following at the pace/speed that you feel comfortable with, then practice your script a few times to get your brain used to reading at a regular pace instead of dynamically shifting speed like we do in everyday speech. The result is a better video that people want to listen to. 3. The reflectivity of the glass is very good, even in night sunlight. The closer to 45° the better. 4. The felt back cover does a great job at keeping light out. 5. I’ve been shooting with a mobile phone and this works great. I put the slider as forward as possible and then adjust the horizontal angle to keep the outer cover out of frame. I have had no problems using my phone on 4K video with this teleprompter. Overall I totally recommend this. I got a great deal and it’s made all the difference for my production quality. Get it! 👍

Expected brand new but got an obviously used and returned teleprompter. The glass is completely smudged, the remote is scratched clearly used and still has somebody's batteries in it. The plastic bag is supposed to come in was just stuffed inside. No instructions, not even certain if all the parts are in the box. Really poor quality control. Will likely send it back. Tough to rate. UPDATE Received the replacement from Amazon, and I have to say this is excellent build quality, it has everything that I need, the remote control works beautifully with the app that they have. Note the pictures with my Canon M50 mounted perfectly. And my remote microphone fitting into a hot shoe style slot. I think they thought of everything, and I couldn't be more pleased.

I purchased this back in February 28, 2025. I've done many video captures using this NEEWER Teleprompter X16, and it has held up well.
