I'm still curious if the Bathroom Vanity TV Mirror Combo Pack works well enough, but after seeing the real deal in person, it wasn't worth the potential $30 savings to find out.Īnyway, thanks for the input.hopefully this helps someone else in the future if they're trying to build a teleprompter style setup. So I ended up ordering a 9"x10" sheet of that stuff to fit the case I've built.ended up being about $75 shipped.Īs far as I'm concerned, it's money well spent. ![]() I went to the local camera store and tried out the commercial teleprompter setup they had there.turns out it's the same stuff made by Teleprompter Mirror, right down to the thickness. I had gone to Home Depot and checked out their reflective films to see how reflective and how opaque they are and the only film that looked remotely suitable for the application was consuming 2 2/3 stops of light, so that was a no-go as well. Real beam splitter glass is reflective on one side, and coated with anti-reflective material on the other side. I think the thickness of the glass has a lot to do with how prominent the double reflection is (it's at least 1/4" thick.maybe more), but the real issue is that it's the wrong material for the job. The "back" side of the glass has a much worse double reflection, so this is as good as it gets for this particular material. ![]() ![]() Thank you both for the suggestions.to answer your questions, the glass is mirrored on one side and comes with instructions on how to figure out which side to use as the reflective side.
