Thank you Steve. I have pledged for the new prompter. I remember your original review and liked it then. Plus, I have followed you since the early days when you had less wrinkles (me too), so I think it is safe to say that you are a trusted source of information! I have been without a teleprompter and have felt on numerous occasions that they would be perhaps useful. I have enough bulky items and I think that this one would be small enough that I would actually use it.

@@rippleguys yes great. i don’t know Josh but i do trust you and your judgement and you vouched for that company. I am sure they make a great product, but “summer shipping” has turned to ???? And while i understand that people have problems when they gather a ton of money in advance to produce a product they should already have a lot of experience creating i have to say this was “oversold” and as it as it might eventually be, the thing gets tarnished by lack of communication, excuses and false claims.

Hello Steve. Thanks for making this video. I'm interested in this product but your side-by-side comparison at 1:10 concerns me. Although there's no "vignetting" in the top corners with the new "Pro", there's a significant amount along the bottom of the screen which you didn't mention. Am I missing something, or is this to be expected with a product in this price range? ( I have zero experience with teleprompters, so this is a real question.) Thanks.

And believe me. I personally have nothing against Ripple training. But I invested because you stuck your neck out. I don’t know Josh, but i do enjoy and trust your brand. When you endorsed this, I trusted your endorsement. I know there is not much you can do, but updating this video, or honestly letting people know what happened with the company and the kickstarter, you so glowing promoted just a short while ago. I am glad you appreciate the product and the demo unit, but would you still endorse it now?

I operated in good faith. I did the video knowing that the company has been solid and has delivered quality products in the past. My review of the product was genuine and I use the pre-production unit they sent me almost every week. It is unfortunate that the company has not been able to keep its commitment. I will reach out to Josh, and inform him that I will most likely be taking down the video. The reviews on the shipping product on B & H echo what you experienced, and if I had foresight, I would not have endorsed the product.
