The device itself works extremely well, giving a very clear reflection of the white on black text from my iPad running Teleprompter app. I’ve even tried it outside, and provided I’m not in direct sunlight, it’s still good. It’s also very transparent for my cameras. I haven’t tried the supplied remote control, as I already use a Satechi Bluetooth remote regularly and I’m very familiar with this. As to value for money - I’m always torn with equipment like this, which is, in essence, very simple to manufacture and doesn’t contain much in the way of materials; however, I do appreciate that it isn’t exactly a mass market item, so per-unit returns need to be high. In real terms, I guess I also have to balance the item’s cost against how useful it is to me, and this device is already cutting down my error rate massively when I’m doing video tutorials and is therefore saving me time, so I guess it’s worth it. Although simple, it’s also well made and very solid once constructed, so I have no fears about putting a valuable camera on it. I’m now looking for a foam lined hard case of some sort, so I can transport it fully assembled, safely.
This case works very well. You can leave the unit set up and ready to rock, without fear of breaking the glass: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ROC-Cases-Aluminium-Flight-L570xW380xH190mm/dp/B00UFW2R40 available from loads of outlets online.
