With standard inputs and front-panel control buttons that are easily accessible, even when the image is flipped, the ikan 17" High-Bright Teleprompter LED Monitor V2 is a great option for use as a teleprompter monitor. It offers a maximum brightness of 1000 cd/m², providing for bright, clear text suitable for use in studio as well as in the field.

The monitor features inputs for HDMI, VGA, and composite signals conveniently located on the top instead of the back, making it easier to access the connectors when mounted as prompter monitor. Discrete input-select buttons allow you to choose between inputs without entering a menu system. The menu system allows you to adjust system settings for brightness, contrast, and sharpness as well as aspect ratio, horizontal and vertical image flip, and other settings.

Q: 1. How high does the camera need to sit off the rails? I'm interested in getting this to mount to Zacuto VCT Baseplate with a C200. Rather than mounting the camera to this rig. Any ideas or advice would be great!

A: Unfortunately we do not have a spec that lists how high the camera must be to work properly however I can say with confidence that the Zacuto VCT baseplate does not provide enough height to work with the teleprompter if you try to mount it without their baseplate. Perhaps if you used in conjunction with a riser clamp (or lower clamp in this case) you could configure it in a way where you do not have to remove your camera from the Zacuto VCT baseplate when using the teleprompter. Here are a few examples of what I mean. CAMVATE Height Riser Offset Railblock 15mm Rod Clamp (Black Levers) B&H # CAC1690 MFR # C1690 LanParte Height Raiser Clamp B&H # LAHRC01 MFR # HRC-01

Q: 2. Hi, I have strange question for anybody who has used this teleprompter... when it is all set up does it feel secure and tight? I am considering using this on a small jib setup (I'll be securing the tablet with tape and industrial use velcro) and I just want to know if it will wobble. Nothing to crazy with the jib, just slow arcs and pans. Thanks

A: I use the teleprompter regularly, it definitely fastens very securely, but i recommend having it fastened as intended to a shoe mount on a tripod, the whole unit is decently heavy, and i would not trust it to tape or velcro, especially not at it's price point to replace. lol

Q: 3. Does this fit the 12.9" ipad pro?

Q: 10. I want to use this in a live sports environment with a Hitachi HDZ5000 camera. I'd like to mount the prompter on it's own tripod and move the Hitachi camera in behind the hood during pregame or at half time, and then back out to cover the game. Has anyone used it as a stand alone unit? Do you forsee any problems with this plan?

A: Sounds like a plan to us. We would think if you mounted this on a light stand, i.e. a support with one pole, that should pose no issue as far as saddling up with a video tripod on a dolly. If you use a tripod for the prompter, you may or may not have issues with getting the camera tripod close enough.
