Elgato just released the new Prompter XL, so in this video I put it head-to-head with the original Elgato Prompter and focus on the differences that actually matter beyond “it’s bigger.” I walk through what comes in the box (including the step-up rings and the cable change from USB-A + adapter to USB-C to C), and I show how both models can work with webcams or real cameras. The biggest pain point with the original is the smaller camera mounting plate—if you’re running a larger DSLR or a mirrorless body with a longer lens, it can get awkward fast, and some people end up hanging the unit off the lens, which puts pressure where you don’t want it. With the XL, the redesigned metal mount is the real upgrade. It’s fully adjustable, supports bigger bodies and longer lenses way better, and the whole rig mounts in a more balanced way on a tripod (but it’s also noticeably heavier, so you need a sturdy tripod). The larger screen feels more like a full-size monitor, which makes scripts, Keynote, and video calls easier to read from farther away—and your eyeline looks more natural at distance. I also cover two issues I ran into (Text Mode taking over the display, and mouse input not working in Display Mode) and the fixes that got everything working smoothly on my Mac.
