Can I control the Padcaster Parrot teleprompter while I’m speaking?

The Padcaster Parrot™ Remote connects with the teleprompter over Bluetooth and allows you to control the teleprompter while you’re speaking. You can control the size and the speed of the text remotely. 

How do I know which Parrot teleprompter mounting ring to use?

It's usually very easy to determine the outside diameter of your camera's lens. Start by looking at the front or side of the lens. If you see a number that starts with the character symbol Ø, for example Ø49mm written on your lens, it simply means that the lens has 49mm threads to screw on a filter that is 49mm in diameter.

Can I use the Parrot Teleprompter with a wide angle lens?

Teleprompters in general don't work very well with wide angle lenses because you get some vignetting. (The edges of the teleprompter show up in the video.) With that said, the Parrot should allow you to record video on a full frame camera with a 36mm lens or longer, with no vignetting.
