Using this Ikan teleprompter system is a breeze. First, set up the tripod. Adjust the legs to your desired height using the E - Image Mono - Lock. You can go from 18 inches to 63 inches. Once the tripod is stable, attach the fluid head using the 100mm bowl mount and secure it with the twist lock. Then, mount the 17 - inch teleprompter system onto the 8 - inch tripod plate. You can adjust the sliding range to counterbalance the setup. Next, connect your camera to the teleprompter monitor using the available video inputs like HDMI, VGA, or 3G - SDI. You can also use the dual panhandles to control your shots and mount zoom, focus, and iris controls. When using the dolly, make sure the wheels are locked when you need stability. Remember, without the counterweight, the system can handle camera payloads up to 23.8 lbs, and the tripod alone can support up to 44 lbs. As for maintenance, keep the teleprompter glass clean with a soft, lint - free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Check the tripod and dolly for any loose parts regularly. Store the system in a dry place when not in use, and use the provided carrying bags for transportation to protect the components.
