With about $35 in parts, you can easily build your own teleprompter for delivering a video message or speech. This DIY prompter with camera mount fits a 10-inch LCD monitor but is modifiable for an iPad or other tablet.
The video here from Indy Mogul shows all the materials you need, such as a 8×10 picture frame, as well as the free software used to auto-scroll your teleprompter copy. You’ll need to be handy with a saw and drill, but otherwise the project looks very straightforward and simple.
You’ll also learn that a distance of about 10 feet from the camera may be best for making eye movement less noticeable—meaning your news-anchor-like performance will appear more professional.
