Desview TP170 Teleprompter

I do a lot of videos and I have a very big pad and this landing tray is great. I will say this teleprompter is a bit heavy but it love it and use it every day.

I am at a loss of understanding why these nice for teleprompters are so complicated to assemble. I had to deduct three stars simply because it took me at least half an hour just to understand how to assemble this Teleprompter. This is the second one I bought in the first one was so annoying. I just didn't even want to use it. At least this one came with the hood already fixed although you still had to assemble it, there is nothing that keeps it in place. I think that's a design flaw. You can use some sort of adhesive even a Velcro, which I will end up purchasing just so that the hood can stay intact. But outside of that, the video that's shown on the Amazon article does not help. It moves too quickly. It does not identify the respective parts and as a result, you end up just having to either figure this out or searching for YouTube video to better understand which parts you need to remove and reassemble and ultimately I would give this a one star, but I am giving it an additional one simply because once it is finally assembled, it is a nice piece of hardware.
