Ikan’s professional teleprompter series is designed for a quick and easy setup to work in outside broadcast applications or professional studios. The lightweight, aluminum  teleprompter has multiple 3/8-16” and 1/4-20” for mounting to a pedestal or tripod. The high quality 70/30 (Made in the USA) teleprompter glass provides the perfect  balance of reflection and pass- through minimal image distortion. The PT4900’s high bright monitor has 1000 nits, making it appropriate for work in the sun or in brightly-lit  studios. Ikan’s 4000 series of 15,17 & 19” teleprompters include 3 different riser plates, for compatibility with a variety of capture devices, including box cameras, camcorders, DSLR, Mirrorless, and ENG cameras. The bottom mounting plate and riser plate have 12” of horizontal adjustment to accommodate various camera body/lens  configurations and proper balancing. This system is shipped in custom cut foam, designed to protect the glass, monitor and additional components. This foam is compatible with SKB iSeries 3i-2217-12BE Waterproof Hard Cases.

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.
