Using the Ikan 17 - inch teleprompter bundle is straightforward. First, unpack the items from their cases. Set up the tripod by extending the legs and using the E - Image Mono - Lock to adjust the height to your desired level. Make sure the tripod is stable on the ground.
Next, attach the fluid head to the tripod using the 100mm bowl mount and secure it with the twist lock. Then, mount the 17 - inch teleprompter system to the fluid head using the 8 - inch tripod plate. You can adjust the sliding range of the plate to balance the setup.
Connect your camera to the teleprompter monitor using the available video inputs like HDMI, VGA, or Composite (BNC). Install the PrompterPro4 software on your Mac or PC and connect it to the teleprompter.
When using the dolly, place the tripod on it and lock the wheels to keep it in place. Use the dual panhandles to control the panning and tilting of the camera smoothly.
Some important notes: Avoid exposing the teleprompter glass to scratches. Clean it gently with a soft, dry cloth. When adjusting the counterbalance, start with a lower setting and gradually increase it according to the weight of your camera and accessories. Always make sure the tripod and dolly are on a flat surface to prevent any accidents.
For maintenance, regularly check the locks on the tripod, fluid head, and dolly to ensure they are tight. Lubricate the moving parts of the fluid head and the wheels of the dolly periodically. Store the bundle in its cases when not in use to protect it from dust and damage.
