Bodelin ProPrompter LCD teleprompter for the masses
As journalism increasingly becomes an avocation for the masses (we've no idea whatsoever about this trend), citizen reporters are striving to achieve a more professional, I-know-what-I'm-talking-about appearance for their blogs video clips. The single greatest divide between pros and amateurs is not a degree in journalism, and not even a fancy Tom Brokaw haircut, but the timeless verbal crutch known as the teleprompter. Bodelin Technologies is helping to usher-in this age of well-coifed and well-spoken reporting with their ProPrompter LCD, available today from the Apple Store. The ProPrompter is a Mac and Windows-friendly unit that attaches to any DV camcorder and displays streamed dialogue from a laptop using a mirrored image from the built-in LCD. Bodelin's kit hooks you up with a step-down ring, protective lens hood, multi-prompter splitter, AC and DC adapters, basic software, and a hard case, all for around $1700.
