Cheap Teleprompter from iPad Box

Step 1 Start with the box.

For this build you will need:

1. the original iPad box.
2. 1 sheet of foam core (black is best, I could only find white though)
3. Some double sided tape.
4. some black paint (I used flat black spray paint.)
5. a box cutter (or olfa art knife)
6. a pen
7. lots of hot glue
8. a ruler
9. a square
10. 1/4 inch bolt.
11. 2 - 1/4 inch nuts
12. a sheet of plexi glass, or picture frame glass
13. *optional automotive mirrored window tinting

just going to point out that the ipad that was in that box can do this anyway and there is a tripod mount tut on this site. though i spose if you have in ipad box and no ipad this would be a good idea.

What seems to mainly be an advantage with this method is the fact that the recording camera is looking straight through the reflector. So in essence the video that is recorded will have the added effect of having the person reading the prompter looking straight into the lens rather than off to the side.

That, and this was created for a first gen iPad. No camera, and very cheap to purchase on eBay. ;)
