Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a special app to use a Glide Gear prompter?

You can use any standard teleprompter app available on the iOS App Store or Google Play Store. Glide Gear provides the hardware (the glass and the rig), but relies on your tablet’s software to scroll the text.

Will the camera see the text on the glass?

No. The 70/30 beam splitter glass is completely transparent from the camera’s perspective. The text is only visible from the presenter’s side of the glass.

Can I use a heavy cinema camera on these rigs?

Models like the TMP 100 are designed for DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. For heavier, fully rigged cinema cameras, you would need to upgrade to their heavy-duty models like the TMP 1000.
