I put together a similar setup in 2020/2021, but had to tear it all down. I got too many jokes about being a Twitch streamer, and the teleprompter made me look like one of those dudes who stares directly into your eyeballs at all times as a power move.

Maybe I should have stuck with it and iterated! Sounds like you've dialed it in.

Whatever floats your boat ;)

I'm the creepy instructor who looks at his students rather than talking to you by looking down and to the right...

More seriously, I have dialed it in because I think it gives my clients a better final product. I also just want to have things work rather than spending an inordinate amount of time setting up equipment each time I need to record.
