Project Information
Simple homemade teleprompter.
Materials required: 8"x10" picture frame
1 1/4"x20 thread bolt
two hinges
13" 4:3 lcd monitor (not widescreen!)
scrap lumber
This project was a quick attempt to make a homemade teleprompter for some video work. I started by making a box into which my LCD monitor would would fit. Then I inset a 1/4"x20 nut to connect it to a tripod. Then I connected an 8"x10" picture frame to the case. Finally I notched out a corner of the frame for a prop rod to hold the screen at 45° to the surface of the monitor, and notched out slots for the monitor power cable and VGA cable to connect it to the computer.
