Talk to Your Audience, Not Your Notes: The Neewer X11 Teleprompter
If you stream, teach online, host interviews, or record scripted videos, you have two jobs at once: say the right words, and look your audience in the eye while you do it. Notes off to the side pull your eyes away, and a standard teleprompter means one more tablet to charge, mount, and manage.
The Neewer X11 is built to make that easier. It combines an 11 inch beamsplitter with its own built-in 9 inch monitor, so you read your script, notes, or live chat through the glass while looking straight into the lens, with no device sitting on the teleprompter.

TL;DR
The Neewer X11 is a 2-in-1 teleprompter with an 11 inch, 75% transmission beamsplitter and a built-in 9 inch monitor. It mirrors your computer, phone, or tablet screen over the included cables, and works as a second monitor on Windows and macOS. It reads clearly from up to 2.5m, suits cameras up to 2kg on its Arca-type quick release, and has cold shoes for a light and mic.
Look Into the Lens, Not at Your Notes
When you look away at your notes, viewers notice. It reads as nervousness, even if you know your material well. A teleprompter puts the words directly in front of the lens, so what your audience sees is steady, direct eye contact, and you can focus on your delivery instead of your memory.
Conrad's Advice: Aspiring YouTuber? A teleprompter is a must. Keep eye contact with your audience instead of having wandering eyes.

View the Neewer X11No Tablet to Manage
Most teleprompters need a phone or tablet placed under the glass to show the script. That is one more device to charge, set up, and keep in place between takes. The X11 builds the screen in. Its 9 inch monitor mirrors the device you already use, so the script lives on your computer, phone, or tablet, and the X11 simply displays it in the glass.
Conrad's Advice: The built-in monitor avoids having additional tablets or smartphones. Just a nice convenience.

Keep an Eye on Live Chat
For streamers, the X11 does a second job. Connect it to your computer as a second monitor and put your live chat, stream dashboard, or notes on it. You can read your audience's comments in the glass and reply while still looking into the camera.
The same trick works for video calls. Show the other person's video on the X11, and you look at them and the lens at the same time, so they see you making eye contact.
"This is truly great. No side look or above look as I had to do with my previous Teleprompter. I can look right into the camera and make eye contact with my viewers instead of looking in multiple directions. Love it!!"Raymond Prawl
"This teleprompter is awesome! Acts as a second monitor and great for streaming chat but also for recording videos with scripts when you need to look more directly down the tube."Justin Straight

X11 or a Tablet Teleprompter?
The right choice depends on your camera, how far you stand from it, and whether a built-in screen suits the way you work.

Choose the X11 for desk, streaming, and webcam or light mirrorless setups where a built-in screen and second-monitor mode save time. Choose the X14 III or X17 II for heavier cameras, larger glass, or reading from further back.

Can I read live chat on the X11 while streaming?
Yes. Use it as a second monitor and put your chat or notes on it, so you can read them in the glass while looking into the camera.
