How to make a
DIY Teleprompter
- cheap and portable
A teleprompter is a display device that prompts the person speaking with a visual text of a script or a speech. A teleprompter comes with a reflective screen that is placed in front of the video camera lens at a 45 degree angle, as well as a monitor, mounted directly underneath the screen, that displays the script. This allows the camera to shoot through the prompted text without visually affecting the video.

360° GoPro Swivel Mount
In this video I show the principle for how you can make a 360°Swivel Mount for your GoPro camera.
When I made this mount it was important to me that it would not ruin the helmet (no drilling) and that it should be easy to attach/detach so I can move it between different helmets. And I don't want to have a bolt that goes through the helmet and could pierce my skull if I fall.
