I'm a NY based video producer and wish ECS was in NY! But I'm so glad that I was able to work with them on a last minute teleprompter need in Boston. ECS was quick to respond to my needs and provided an incredibly professional, fast teleprompter operator. Eric, the owner, even checked up on how everything went the following day. I couldn't be more impressed.

I'm a CT based producer/director and I recently needed an on camera teleprompter rental and a teleprompter operator in the Boston area. After a quick search, I found ECS Video Systems and that was all I needed. In no time, Eric and I discussed which specific teleprompter would be best for my two day shoot and he then assigned the BEST teleprompter operator (Michael) with whom I have ever had the pleasure of working. Eric's teleprompter rates are quite reasonable and he's amazingly responsive.

He got back to me in just a few minutes whenever I called or emailed with a question or location change. I can't emphasize enough how wonderful my experience was with Eric and ECS Video Systems. I truly can't wait to shoot in Boston again so that I can work with Eric and Michael.

ECS Video Systems has been my go-to resource for Teleprompter Operator and Teleprompter Rental for the last several years. Eric is my first call for prompter, both for live presentations and video production and his diverse services and gear has saved my butt on many occasions.
