Teleprompter Assmebly Setup

Step 1
Place the Hood Attachment Frame over the Glass Holder. Then place the glass against the Glass Holder. Make sure the screws pass through the holes on the both the Hood Attachment Frame and the Glass Holder.

Step 2
Secure the Glass Holder by fastening the knurled nuts to the screws as pictured below.

Step 3
Remove the monitor mounts from the teleprompter base using the included larger 4mm hex key to loosen from the 15mm rods.

Step 4
Put the washers on before tightening the screws. The washers and 4 additional screws are inside a bag on the bottom foam.

Step 5
After the monitor mounts are attached, adjust the 15mm rods to accommodate the monitor. Leave about 1 inch of room for the teleprompter bracket.
Make sure the 15mm rods go through both set of monitor mounts. Please ensure that all screws are properly tightened after inserting the monitor.
SAFETY NOTE Make sure to leave at least 2 inches of the rods inside the teleprompter base.

Step 6
While sliding the teleprompter bracket into the slot of the Glass Frame Holder Bracket, pull on the red knob to allow the bracket to fully slide in.

Step 7
Once the bracket is in place, tighten the side screw to lock in place.
Double check and make sure all the screws are tightened with the included hex keys.

Step 8
Fold the flaps of the Hood alongside the edges of the Hood Attachment Frame. The flaps of the Hood are magnetic so they will automatically attach.

Step 9
To prevent light from leaking through the hood, seal both zippers down.

Step 10
Slide in the Riser plate of your choice by aligning the screws on the riser plate to the slot on the Base. Once the screws are aligned, Slide the riser plate into the Base.

Step 11
Slide in the Riser plate of your choice by aligning the screws on the riser plate to the slot on the Base. Once the screws are aligned, Slide the riser plate into the Base.

Step 12
Mount your own tripod plate to the bottom plate by aligning the 1/4-20 and/or 3/8-16 screws and fastening them to the Bottom Plate. It is recommended that you connect your tripod plate to front of the Bottom Plate so that you can balance your teleprompter easier. Once your tripod plate is connected to the Bottom Plate, mount the tripod plate to your tripod head.

Step 13
Slide the entire teleprompter system into the Bottom Plate. Once the teleprompter system is inserted, you can balance it by sliding it along the Bottom Plate until the center of gravity is determined.

Step 14
Once the center of gravity has been determined, tighten the thumb screws to keep the base from sliding.

Step 15
To secure your teleprompter system, insert the included headless screws into the threads behind and in front of the Base.

Step 16
The headless screws should be inserted to the threads as pictured below.
