I am looking for advice on a good teleprompter to use with a Panasonic 100A or 200A video camera. This if only for occasional use in a corporate setting so I don't want to sink a ton of money into something. I am hoping to get by for less than $2,000. Any suggestions?
If you are industrius and
If you are industrius and don't care so much about the looks (i.e. it is for internal use only), you can make one very easily. I laid a 22" LCD monitor down flat on a table, and constructed a wooden frame around it. I took a piece of 1/4" glass, mounted it in a wooden frame and hinged it to the monitor frame at a 45 degree angle. Connected the monitor to a laptop and installed a teleprompter software (I think about $30) on the computer. I mounted a dark cloth over the glass and around the camera to prevent reflections
Most of the this was stuff I had lying around, and as this would only be used by internal employees, I was not too concerned about the look of the prompter, just the usefulness.

A forum search on teleprompter gives some other options as well.

I saw on a different video
I saw on a different video related website that you can use an Iphone or Ipod touch for this purpose. As I remeber you have you use a special program to write the script, then upload to the company website. From there itis changed over to a file, you download thatto your device and that is what is scroled across the screen. It sounds like alot of work but it canmount on a camera, a tripod, or by it's self. I think thatyou can also get a sheild that goes around it to block out glare. I hope thishelps

Heh. Although not everybody can wing an extended speech with just a couple of sentences for notes like that. Although a rig this complex sounds like it's out of Chip's price range:
Bipartisan kidding aside, the Ikan PT-1000 might be worth looking into as an option for well under $1000:
