Camera prompter with operator
This type of prompter is particularly useful for recording a message in front of a camera. You can record your speaker and the people on the other side of the screen will have the impression that he is looking at them, when in fact he is reading from a prompter!
The camera prompter works with an inverted mirror system consisting of an LCD screen and a tilted mirror, which is positioned in front of the camera lens so that the presenter’s gaze is in line with the camera.
This prompter is fitted with an anti-reflective glass designed to make it easier to read. The text is displayed on the screen, so the speaker can speak with confidence while looking at the camera.
The camera prompter is operated by a technician who adjusts the text flow using a remote control with a thumbwheel so that it scrolls at the same speed as the speaker’s reading pace.
The camera prompter is frequently used in the media and content industry: studio shoots, live broadcasts and interviews, location shoots, webinars, hybrid or phygital events (streamed but with face-to-face participants), and so on. It is also widely used by TV news presenters to read their texts fluently.
This type of prompter is also often chosen to broadcast messages of all kinds, whether they are for political, institutional, professional and administrative purposes (public speeches by senior civil servants, statements by executives, product launches, conventions and many others).
The system stands out for its adaptability and flexibility: the device easily adjusts to all types of photo and video cameras (SLR, camcorders, PTZ, steadicam, turret cameras, etc.) and can be mounted on different models of tripods or foot plates.
It’s particularly easy to set up as the whole system can be installed in around 20 minutes.
You can choose between different LCD monitor sizes, from 7 to 32 inches, depending on the distance between the speaker and the camera.
It is also possible to order a wireless option for the camera and steadicam prompter, as this system can be combined with different types of portable devices* (tablet, smartphone, laptop).

Technical specifications :
A camera teleprompter is a professional device that allows the speaker to read their text while looking directly into the camera lens. Thanks to a semi-transparent mirror placed in front of the camera, the speaker’s gaze stays perfectly aligned, giving viewers the impression that the speaker is looking them in the eye. Ideal for shoots, interviews, webinars, or institutional addresses.
The system uses an LCD screen and a 45° mirror in front of the camera lens, reflecting the text to the speaker. It is mounted on a camera tripod or a standalone stand, and an operator controls the scrolling with a wheel remote, adjusting the text speed in real-time to match the speaker’s pace.
This device is used in most audiovisual productions: TV shows, studio shoots, corporate videos, web content, interviews, political statements, hybrid events, or live broadcasts. It ensures smooth delivery without losing eye contact with the camera.
Full setup takes approximately 20 minutes. The system adapts to all types of cameras (studio and broadcast cameras, DSLR, PTZ cameras, steadicam, even smartphones) and can be mounted on different tripods or supports depending on whether you’re shooting static or moving shots, allowing for fast setup and smooth filming.
Yes. A professional operator is essential and always included in our services. They handle equipment setup, adjust text scrolling speed in real time, manage unexpected issues, and ensure perfect synchronization between the text and the speaker. This guarantees an effective and natural on-screen performance.
We offer several monitor sizes: 7, 11, 13, 15, 17, 21, 24, and 32 inches, allowing comfortable reading up to 20 meters. The size of the camera teleprompter depends on the distance between the camera and the speaker, and the studio or location setup. The most suitable monitor is selected based on your situation.
Yes. The camera teleprompter can be used with a wireless option, also compatible with various portable devices (tablet, smartphone, or laptop). This version is ideal for mobile shoots or setups where cables need to be minimized, such as when using a steadicam.
It allows smooth reading without lowering the gaze, gives the speaker direct eye contact with the camera, and delivers a natural look for viewers. Unlike a lectern teleprompter or stage teleprompter, it is specifically designed to capture the speaker’s gaze on camera. Our camera teleprompter setup also allows, if needed, to reposition the teleprompter for an “interviewer’s eye” look.
The price depends on the chosen screen size, number of rental days, and selected options (location and other logistical details if the shoot is outside Paris or Cannes). Every quote includes the complete camera teleprompter system, professional teleprompting software to adjust scrolling speed in real-time, and a professional operator who handles everything on set for a turnkey service.
