NEEWER X1 Pro II Teleprompter 9 inch metaal met RT113 afstandsbediening/app-bediening, snelwissel, 1s vergrendeling, Arca type QR-plaat, magnetische telefoonklem, compatibel met iPhone en Android

Ich suchte einen Teleprompter, der für die Aufnahme mit einem Handy geeignet ist.Die Wahl fiel auf den Neewer X1 Pro.Das Gerät kam bei mir nicht mehr zum Einsatz – vorher war mein Geduldsfaden gerissen.Danke an Amazon für die Möglichkeit, das Gerät unkompliziert zurückzusenden.Meine Kritikpunkte sind:Keine nutzbare GebrauchsanweisungEs gibt zwar eine Anleitung, aber die verdient den Namen nicht. Mehrere zu kleine Fotos, untertitelt mit 1:1-Übersetzungen aus dem Chinesischen. Beispiel:„Installieren Sie den prompten Lichtschild zwischen dem Glasrahmen und dem hinteren Kotflügel.“Solche Sätze lassen mich irritiert zurück. Recherchen bei YouTube zeigen: Ich bin nicht allein.Nach entsprechendem Ausprobieren weiß ich jetzt immerhin, wie das Handy als Kamera eingebunden werden kann – ein Job, bei dem man sich fast die Finger verrenkt.Nächstes Problem: die AppIch muss mir für diese Hochsicherheits-App einen Code zusenden lassen. Der kommt jedoch nicht an, weshalb die App zunächst nur im Gast-Modus nutzbar ist.Die E-Mail an die in der App genannte Service-Adresse kommt zurück – der Server ist nicht bekannt.Auf der Neewer-Homepage finde ich eine neue Anlaufstelle. Recherchen zeigen, dass der Code zwar gesendet wurde, der Absender jedoch bei meinem Provider auf der Blacklist steht. Es handelt sich um eine „.cn“-Domain, also aus der Volksrepublik China.Nachdem die E-Mail ausnahmsweise durchgelassen wird, kommt die nächste Frage:Wie kriege ich meinen Text in die App?Immerhin gibt es den Hinweis, dass man bis zu 10 MB Text in eine Cloud laden kann. Wo diese Cloud sich befindet und wie man den Text dorthin bekommt, bleibt allerdings rätselhaft.Lange Rede, kurzer Sinn:Man kann den Text eintippen oder hineinkopieren.Das war der Moment, in dem es bei mir Pling gemacht hat – und mein Geduldsfaden endgültig gerissen ist.Dass das nicht früher passiert ist, liegt am sehr freundlichen und engagierten Kundendienst.Aber: Wenn alles andere Schrott ist, kann auch ein guter Kundendienst nichts mehr retten.

we used this for one of our big events - it worked great - compact - easy to set up. easy to put away. the case is flimsy but the tool itself works great. would recommend

Hard case damaged and magnetic shield isn’t magnetic ☹️

Quick background. As a freelance lighting cameraman, I have used teleprompters for years. A lot of years. I can trace back to where the scripts were handwritten on clear acetate with a Sharpie! Try doing on-the-fly editing with that system! Next came paper. Finally came computers. But those early units were big and heavy. First, they were CRT monitors, so heavy that the operators would add another 30-40 pounds of lead weights on the back of the prompters, to balance out the camera. Boy, did I hate those!Today, they are much lighter, the operators are very skilled with editing on the fly - adding or deleting scripts. And they are still a good size. Most of the independent teleprompters still use about 17" units for talent to view them well. But one to this excellent little unit by Neewer for now.The unit comes in a wonderful, small hard case. Open the case and you are presented with the prompter and the various bits and pieces, all in a custom foam interior.The main frame is an 8" long, 2 1/2" wide extruded aluminum bar. It is drilled and tapped along most of the length with 1/4" and 3/8" holes, alternating. This is so you can attach a "wedge plate" or some attachment that your tripod uses to secure the prompter to it. You will mount your tripod underneath this prompter.The camera platform slides along an inside rail, traveling closer or farther away from the front of the promoter. You can also gain about 3/4" in vertical height, with the camera platform, as it travels up as well. A quick release lets you remover your camera in a second, and the reverse is true as well. You can simply snap your camera back in place and you are good to go.You have two different shrouds that will block the light from behind the camera. If you don't get all the light blocked off, your subjects are going to have a more difficult time trying to read the screen. One shroud is for phones and the second is for cameras - like a stills camera, shooting video.This unit is so well though out! I love the fact that the hood - the main part that covers the glass and the sides - is magnetic and that it also holds the two different shroud backplates from moving out of position. Brilliant! And the inside of the hood is the best I have ever seen! Beautiful, light grabbing material!With it's small size, I would seriously consider purchasing some additional parts and a good shoulder pad, and make this unit handheld. Think about it. It could be a remarkable piece of gear in your kit! The ability to move around while still providing your actor/subject with text. Wow!A quick word on the 9" Neewer teleprompter. Yes, the unit is small. But that has huge advantages. Travel, for example. And that doesn't mean in an airplane to another country. It could just mean across town. Small, compact means saving time, space and your back, among other things.Another point, is that sometimes, you don't need the entire script entered word perfect for the actor to read. A lot of people have trouble reading a prompter. It's not easy and not everyone can do it. Watch your news anchors tonight. Many of them keep their head moving, just a little, but it helps to mask their eye movements as they read the text. So, it's a lot of practice - but here is another idea. Ok, this screen is small, right? How about only showing key words on the screen, one at a time. Let the person talk about the subject in their own words. Show "sales up" on screen, and they know what they want to talk about, with regards to the sales department showing an increase in units sold. You get the idea. This can also come across much more natural, too. Just fill the screen with the biggest type you can.Bottom Line - First, I'm sorry if I went on regarding the Neewer 9" prompter. I am only trying to give you a little of my experience with prompters over the years. I hope it's helped a little. Second, this unit from Neewer really is a little gem! Very well machined and some really smart, cleaver ideas. This might be the prompter for all occasions, but it could be the right one for some occasions.Don't throw this unit in the back and drive home. Bad things can happen on the road. Pack gear up, just in case! If we had more time, I could tell you some sad stories...!Last thought, if you have good buddy who likes doing the same kinds of things, but weight one of your want to commit to the purchase, then purchase it together! You both get to use an excellent piece of gear, you can share ideas of what's working and what's not, and you are only committing your self to half the money! Not a bad idea...!
