Setting up your Kit has never been easier! Here’s how it’s done
Step 1: Set up the Tripod and Camera
-
Open the latches of the tripod and adjust its height to your preference.
-
Ensure all legs are the same length, then lock the latches in place.
-
For extra height, unlock the centre column by pulling the knob forward and twisting it. Adjust to the desired height.
-
There are two rings on the tripod head: one adjusts the angle, and the other secures your camera. Simply twist to loosen the ring and twist in the opposite direction to tighten.
-
To mount your camera on the tripod, turn the top ring to unlock, push down the lever, place the baseplate on the tripod, and lock it in by releasing the lever.
-
Use the attached allen key to tighten the baseplate if needed.
Step 2: Set up the Audio
-
Remove the cold shoe cover on your camera and take out the wireless audio gear from the Kit.
-
Attach the receiver to the camera's hot shoe by pinching the clip and sliding it in.
-
Plug the red cable from the audio pouch into the red jack on your camera and the side of the receiver.
-
For audio monitoring, plug headphones into the black jack after opening the bottom door.
Step 3: Set up the Autocue
-
Place your lens on top of the teleprompter and screw gently till the teleprompter is attached.
-
With the autocue firmly attached, gently pull it open. This will reveal the screen where your script will appear, aiding you in delivering your lines flawlessly.
-
Depending on the angle of your camera and your setup, adjust the glass of the teleprompter to ensure clear visibility of the script.
-
If needed, you can remove the teleprompter and adaptor ring by pressing down on the two tabs below where the lens sits.
Remember to pack the equipment properly, securing the phone mount inside the centre column, and return all tools to their place in the Kit.
