Designed to be used in the field as well as in the studio, the ikan 17" Rod Mounted Teleprompter is lightweight, and quick to set up. Right out of the box, you can use the teleprompter with almost any camcorder that has a flat base. To use with a DSLR camera, or any other camera with a shorter footprint, the included special DSLR shelf can be fastened to the end of the camera base plate in order to move your camera's lens closer to the prompter glass for optimal performance.

The PT3700 Teleprompter's hardware is based on 15mm rods. This allows the monitor, the prompter glass, and the camera baseplate to be set up quickly, without requiring tools. Each component can easily be moved individually to adjust for different setups. To accommodate cameras with different heights, ikan includes 3, 5, and 8" height adjustment rods for mounting the baseplate.

For editing and displaying prompter text, PrompterPro 4 software is included. To ensure compatibility with different workflows, the software works with both PC and Mac computers. The monitor has Composite BNC, VGA, and HDMI inputs to accept video signals from your computer and other video sources as well.

The adjustable glass frame on the PT3700 allows for a fast and easy set-up. The frame can also be folded to make the teleprompter compact and easy to transport.

The Dual Purpose Base plate supports various cameras, DSLRs and small to midsized cameras. The base plate comes with a DSLR Shelf which allows you to put a DSLR camera at the very edge of the base plate to get closer to the glass if needed.

The PT3700 includes 3, 5, and 8" height adjustment rods for the baseplate, making the teleprompter more versatile for various sized cameras.

The high quality 70/30 teleprompter glass provides a balance between reflection and pass-through without distorting the image. This high-quality glass allows your camera to have a clear picture while providing the reflection you need to read the text.

The PT3700 is shipped in reusable custom cut foam which will help keep the kit safe and organized when you set it up or break it down. The custom cut foam can also be repurposed to perfectly fit in the SKB I Series 2918-10 Waterproof Hard Case.

The PrompterPro 4 Teleprompting software for Mac and PC are included with this kit. This software offers a full-text editor, vertical and horizontal screen flip, real-time text updates and live prompter mode for optimal control. The software is compatible with Mac OSX 10.7 and up (with the 64-bit processor), as well as Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10.
