Can I write my own 12-character beats?

Yes. Open the Sleeve Studio app, edit the beats in the mode with your own one-line cues, and send it to the sleeve over Bluetooth in about 30 seconds.

Will the cue light show up on camera in my shot?

Raise your forearm just below the lens so the 8×32 matrix sits beneath the frame line. At 180 brightness on a 1080p or 4K lens the cuff falls outside the crop while your eyes stay on the lens.

Can I advance beats without breaking eye contact?

Yes. Tap Pad 2 with your opposite thumb or knuckle to move to the next beat, and the cue row scrolls the next 12-character prompt in your peripheral vision while your eyes hold the camera.

Why Phone Teleprompters Kill Talking-Head Eye Contact

Eyes drift to the screen: A phone clamped behind the lens pulls your gaze off the camera and makes the read look scripted.
A cue, not a script: One-word beats let your brain pull the next idea while your eyes stay on the lens.
No rig in the shot: Elbow-to-wrist pads and a slide-out electronics core keep the setup clean and the fabric washable.

What Each Forearm Pad Does (Pads 1–5)
