Description
Shoot warmer, more intimate interviews with the Face-2-Face Hybrid from Glide Gear. Alternatively, slide in your tablet or smartphone and you have yourself a complete teleprompter. The Face-2-Face is both an interview tool and a teleprompter in one. The Face-2-Face features a periscope design that allows the interviewee to look directly into the camera lens while speaking. A mirror reflection of the interviewer appears on the beamsplitter glass, while the camera sits right behind the glass. So while your interviewee is speaking to a reflection of you, he or she will also be staring right at the camera. At the same time, you will also see a reflection of the interviewee. The outcome is a comfortable face-to-face conversation and resulting eye-contact between the interview subject and the audience. Normally, the interviewee speaks about 10 off-center from the lens, but the Face-2-Face ensures eye-level communication. No longer do you have to ask your subject to look into the camera. The Face-2-Face comes with everything you need to use it. It has tripod mount holes and integrated 15mm rod ports on the bottom, and comes with a pair of rods and rod-mount camera riser. There's enough space for most cameras to fit, from DSLR-type models to larger ones like the C300. But the riser itself also offers tripod mount holes, so you can use it to attach larger cameras separately on a second tripod. Also included is a tablet mount adapter for inserting tablets and phones and using the Face-2-Face as a prompter. The adapter supports mobile devices measuring between 3 and 9" wide when you hold them in portrait mode. Switching to teleprompter mode is simple just place your device inside and the glass will reflect its screen. You can use any prompting software supported by your device. A carry case is also supplied for transporting everything. The Face-2-Face also has 1/4"-20 threaded mounting holes on top for attaching accessories such as LED lights, providing for a complete interview and prompting system.Key Features Interview tool and a teleprompter in one No longer do you have to ask your interview subject to look into the camera Periscope design allows interviewer and interviewee to keep eye-contact via glass reflections The interviewee can look at the interviewer and the camera lens at the same time while speaking Ensures eye-contact with the audience, resulting in warmer, more intimate interviews Insert a tablet or smartphone and use it as a complete teleprompter Integrated 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 tripod mount holes and 15mm rod ports provide for a complete, self-contained mounting system Includes 8.5" 15mm rods and up to 4" height-adjustable rod-mount camera riser Camera riser features 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 tripod mount holes and can also be used to mount a camera separately on a second tripod 70/30 beamsplitter glass 1/4"-20 mounting holes on top for LED lights and other accessories Built-in carry handle on top Carry case included
