Product Usage Instructions

Section 1: Connecting Your Camera
Ring Backplate

1. Seat the ring backplate into the back of the Prompter and fasten it with the 2 thumbscrews.

4. If using a short lens, utilize the L-bracket for stability.

Section 1: Connecting Your Camera

Elgato Prompter includes interchangeable backplates to accommodate different types of cameras/webcams. The goal of backplates is to block surrounding light on the backside of prompter to prevent glare and to optimally reflect Prompter‘s monitor.

Ring backplate: For larger DSLR/Mirrorless cameras or camcorders with threaded lenses.

• Do not use with motorized lenses.
• Facecam Pro backplate: For use with Elgato Facecam Pro.
• Universal shroud backplate: For other cameras, camcorders, and webcams that do not meet the criteria for the ring backplate or Facecam Pro backplate.

Visit https://elgato.com/s/compatbility/prompter to see a list of tested and compatible cameras, camcorders, and webcams for Elgato Prompter. More backplates may become available to support different webcams and cameras (sold separately). Visit Elgato.com to see the list of available backplates.

1. Seat the ring backplate into the back of Prompter. There is a tab at the bottom of the opening to help guide the backplate. Fasten the ring backplate with the 2 thumbscrews.

2. On your camera, attach the appropriate step-up ring included with Prompter by screwing it onto the camera lens threads. Camera lenses with 49, 52, 55, 58, 62, 67, 72, 77, and 82 mm sized threads are compatible with this setup.
   Quick Tip: Check your camera’s lens cap to see its thread size.

3. Once the step up ring is fully screwed on, Elgato Prompter is ready to dock onto your camera. Line up the rails of the ring backplate with the step-up ring on the camera, and slide it on until it’s fully seated and secure. If you are using a short lens, you can use the L-bracket to support stability.

Your Prompter is now ready to be mounted (see Section 2).

   Make sure your ball head is tightened fully and secure.

2. Slide Prompter onto the step-up ring attached to your camera’s lens to dock.

3.  Double-check that the ball head is still fully tightened and is able to support the weight of Prompter and the camera.

If your ball head is unable to support the weight of this setup, you can use the additional ¼“ mounts found on Prompter with additional acces-sories to help support the system (see Section 3).

Section 5: Accessorizing Elgato Prompter

Coldshoe Mounts
Elgato Prompter features 2 cold shoe mounts that ena-ble you to mount additional accessories, such as lights, microphones, field monitors, and so on. Attaching accessories to Prompter will increase the weight of the entire system, and might place greater front weight to Prompter. Make sure your mount’s ball head can support this. If not, read the following section.

Additional ¼“ Mounts
If your ball head is unable to support the weight of your Prompter system and possible accessories, you can use the additional ¼“ mounts found on the bottom of Promp-ter to provide additional support. For example, you could use Elgato Heavy Clamp and Flex Arm to add a support brace by attaching to the ¼“ thread under Prompter’s display, and then attach the clamp to your tripod, multi mount, or other mounting device.
