Teleprompter Rentals in New York
Hi, I’m Larry Kaltenbach, and I have a vested interest in things going well on every production I’m hired to work on. When you hire my company for teleprompter rentals in New York, NJ and Philly I’m the person that shows up, with over 5,000 on-location project-days experience. Not all companies can offer this level of experience or personalized service on every project.

How Does My Experience Benefit You?
Just as with my sound services— as insurance against problems. There’s back-ups of every piece of teleprompter hardware. I know on-location protocols, work collaboratively with other crew, and dress and act appropriately. There’s tactful gauging of when to make suggestions and when to keep quiet. I’ve worked over 20 years with every type of executive, on-camera talent, producer, director, client and crew.

What Happens If You’ve Booked Me For A Teleprompter Rental And I Can’t Make It There?
I can call on many trusted, highly-skilled colleagues in both the sound and teleprompting fields to cover me when a rare emergency arises.

Take a close look behind the prompter glass – there’s two cameras we placed back there, a simultaneous wide and tight shot, negating the need to ask the talent for extra reads for edit purposes.
Teleprompter Rental Rates
$875 | 10 hours on-site | single 15″, 17″ or 19″ screen, on-camera or free-standing mounted.
Sorry, I don’t have a half-day rate or presidential prompters for live stage shows. Parking additional. All mileage billed if round trip exceeds 150 miles.
Other screens available and quoted on request.
Here’s my double teleprompter set-up for an NBA TV live broadcast of the 2019 NBA Draft tie-breaker hosted by Noah Eagle.
Teleprompter With “Interrotron” Camera Feed
$1,050 | 10 hours on-site | single 15″, 17″ or 19″ screen, on-camera or free-standing mounted.
Unlike a passive mirrored “interrotron” device I offer a video feed into the teleprompter screen from a Blackmagic Design 4K Pocket Cinema camera. This allows for immediate switching between the interrotron mode and standard teleprompter mode to read copy. The “subject” looking at the teleprompter screen sees either the person interviewing them, looking directly at them, or prompter copy, whichever is needed. I supply a second smaller SDI monitor, 7 inch, so that the interviewer can see the subject – provided the camera crew can work out a spare video tap from the prompter camera. I bring SDI distribution amps just in case 🙂
Simultaneous Sound & Prompter
$1,450 / 10 hour day on site
Basic prompter and basic sound packages included
Parking additional. All mileage billed if round trip exceeds 150 miles.
Not as crazy as it sounds, if…
…you have a project that has straightforward teleprompter and sound needs. I don’t recommend trying this unless your project meets these criteria:
- One or two person(s) at a time on camera
- One free-standing or tripod/camera mounted prompter screen
- Minimal script edits
- Uncomplicated sound needs prior to, during and after the prompter segment
- One or two cameras being fed sound
- Appropriate set-up and scheduling time, particularly if multiple locations
- Reasonable speed expectations. I’m juggling two jobs at once. If a script edit and sound matter come up at the same time I can’t address both simultaneously. Patience required by all 🙂
