Product Description
The Neewer X17 II Remote Teleprompter is a professional-grade prompting system featuring a 43cm HD beamsplitter and integrated design that requires no assembly. This upgraded model includes a quick-release camera plate compatible with Manfrotto 501PL systems, allowing you to mount and swap cameras in under a second with a simple top-press mechanism. The teleprompter supports cameras up to 20kg and works with tablets and smartphones up to 23.5cm wide, making it a versatile solution for solo content creators who need to deliver scripted material whilst maintaining natural eye contact with their audience.
This teleprompter is essential for YouTubers, corporate videographers, educators creating online courses, presenters, coaches, business owners recording marketing content, and anyone who needs to deliver scripted material on camera without looking away from the lens. Whether you're filming professional presentations, recording educational tutorials, producing vlogs, live streaming, or creating social media content that requires precise messaging, the X17 II eliminates the awkwardness of reading off-camera notes or memorising lengthy scripts.
Reading from notes or trying to memorise scripts creates unnatural delivery, breaks eye contact with your audience, and often results in mistakes that require multiple takes. The X17 II solves this by reflecting your script directly in front of the camera lens using a high-transparency beamsplitter, allowing you to read naturally whilst maintaining perfect eye contact. Your audience sees a confident, engaging presenter, whilst you're actually reading every word from a screen they can't see through the lens.
The 43cm beamsplitter offers 71% light transmittance, ensuring your camera captures clear footage whilst you read scripts comfortably from up to 4 metres away. The mounting platform adjusts vertically between 5.6cm and 8.9cm and slides along a 24.8cm track, letting you position your camera's lens at the optical centre for distortion-free results. The frame tilts 45° for optimal viewing angles, whilst included zippered sunhood and drawstring lens hood prevent light leakage that could compromise script visibility. Control your script remotely using the included RT113 Bluetooth remote, which pairs with the free Neewer Teleprompter app to control scrolling speed, pause, and page navigation without touching your device. When you're finished, the entire unit folds flat into its foam-padded aluminium carrying case for protected transport.

Common Dos and Don'ts
✓ Position your tablet or phone screen brightness high enough for clear script reflection without washing out the beamsplitter
✓ Use the app's adjustable scrolling speed to match your natural speaking pace for smooth delivery
✓ Attach the sunhood and lens hood in bright environments to prevent light leakage that makes scripts harder to read
✓ Position yourself within 4 metres of the teleprompter for comfortable script reading without squinting
✓ Practice your script with the teleprompter before recording to find your ideal scrolling speed and reading distance
✗ Mount cameras heavier than 20kg, as this exceeds the platform's designed capacity and risks equipment damage
✗ Skip adjusting the camera's vertical and horizontal position to centre the lens - off-centre mounting creates visible script reflections
✗ Use fonts smaller than 24pt in your script documents, as they become difficult to read at comfortable distances
✗ Forget to check your tablet or phone battery level before long recording sessions, especially when using the Bluetooth connection
✗ Place the teleprompter in direct sunlight without the sunhood, as ambient light will wash out your script and make reading nearly impossible
