Assembly –TP-700
Assembly –ENG Configuration
1. Attach/screw the tripod’s own quick release plate
to the screw holes on the base of the TP-700
ENG Prompter rail, item A.
The long slot will be to the rear of the camera
position and the four holes in the rail will be
towards the lens of the camera.
2. Now slide and secure the tripod plate, with
prompter rail, item A, onto the head of the tripod
or dolly.
3. Use the hand screws item C, to secure the lower
part of the ENG Prompter Frame item B in place
using the counter sunk holes in the main part of
the frame item A.
Note: There should be two holes left free in front
of this mounting position for the Glass frame.
4. There are four adhesive Velcro straps packed
inside the Snood/Hood, item I. Peel off the white
paper backing before applying these straps to
the Glass Frame, item G.
Apply the two long Velcro strips to the Glass
Frame edges on the Left side and Right side.
Then apply the two smaller Velcro strips to the
Bottom Left and Right sides of the Glass Frame
edge.
Be careful not to cover any screws and keep
them straight.

5. Slide the Glass frame, item G, on to the front of
the TP-700 ENG prompter rail, item A. Ensure the
upper part of the Glass Frame, Item G, is leaning
away from the camera position and secure with
the two wing nut screws, item H.
6. There are two slots on the inside left and right of
the Glass Frame, Item G. Guide/slide 70/30
Mirror Glass sheet, item J, into these slots from
above.
The Red circle sticker on the Mirror Glass, item
J, should be facing camera position / lens.
The Green circle sticker on item J should be
facing toward the on screen talent /
commentator.
7. Optionally, secure the glass sheet within the frame
using the small M4 screws, Item Z, at the top of
each frame slot. The hex tool, item D2 can be
used to tighten the screws.
8. Fit the 15” LCD control unit, Item F, to the lower part of the ENG Prompter Frame item B using the ¼ thumb
screws, Item E. Ensure the LCD control unit has the red power button facing the front of the TP-700.
9. Decide if you need to use the TP-700 MKII ENG
camera riser block or not.
Ideally you want the lens of your camera
positioned as close to the centre of the 70/30
mirror glass as possible.
In some cases depending on your camera and its
ENG camera plate the camera lens may already
be high enough.
