Datavideo 2400-5040 TP500 Prompter - 7" DSLR - No Remote

The Datavideo TP-500 Prompter Kit provides a straightforward way to add teleprompter capability to DSLR camera setups without investing in a full broadcast-grade system. The kit uses a beam-splitter mirror arrangement that reflects scrolling text from a small tablet computer (not included) toward the on-camera talent, while allowing the camera to shoot through the glass unobstructed. This enables presenters to read their script while looking directly into the lens, resulting in a more natural and engaging delivery for viewers.

Designed for portability, the TP-500 is well suited to on-location shoots, interviews, and small studio productions where space and weight are at a premium. The DV Prompter app, available separately, drives the text display and offers control over font size, color, and scrolling speed to accommodate different lighting environments and reading preferences. For hands-free operation, the optional WR-500 Wired/Wireless Remote allows an operator or the talent themselves to adjust scroll speed without touching the tablet. While the kit requires you to supply your own tablet and software, this modular approach lets you choose hardware you may already own and keeps the initial outlay for the prompter itself relatively low.
