STEP 1 - ATTACH TRIPOD MOUNTING PLATE

The ProLine 15/17’s patent pending mounting system allows the use of any size/weight camera. This mounting

system allows the tripod mounting plate to be attached to either the upper rail or lower rail of the teleprompter.

For heavier cameras mounting the tripod plate to the upper rail has the added benefit of lowering the center of

gravity for improved tripod head operation. In addition, the tripod mounting plate can slide anywhere along the

rails for precise balancing.

For lighter cameras the

tripod mounting plate is

attached to the lower rail.

For heavier cameras the

tripod mounting plate is

attached to the upper rail.

Tripod plate slides into channel on

either upper or lower rail.

Loosen thumbscrews

and lift up retaining

plate on back of upper

rail to slide on tripod

mounting plate.

Slide tripod mounting plate front

to back to balance teleprompter

Tighten screws to secure

tripod plate. Screws can be

tightened with a coin or

screwdriver.

The tripod mounting plate offers both

1/4”and 3/8”industry standard

mounting holes. Attach this plate to

your tripod’s quick release plate.

STEP 3 - ATTACH CAMERA TO TELEPROMPTER

The Flex 15/17/19 oers multiple methods for attaching your video camera. Larger cameras attach directly to the

camera mounting block. Smaller cameras mount on the included dual height camera riser that attaches to the

camera mounting block. The dual height camera riser also allows cameras with short or ush mounted lenses to get

closer to the teleprompter mirror for optimum performance.

PLACE CAMERA ON SLED

The camera should be mounted with it’s lens vertically centered

in the beamsplitter. Choose the side of the riser that puts the

camera in this position. Secure camera to riser with attached

camera screw. When camera is mounted slide it gently forward

until lens is one inch behind glass beamsplitter. Rotate red knob

in “lock” direction to secure camera in place.

After camera is positioned properly, pull lens hood

over lens and secure with drawstring. Make sure hood

is not in front of lens. Note dual height is turned in this

picture is turned to accomodate dierent sized camera.

The Flex 15/17/19’s top mounted camera block makes fore/aft camera positioning a fast, tool-free procedure.

Remove the lens shade on your camera so that the lens can get as close to the glass as possible. Then simply

turn the large red, knurled knob to tighten or release the camera for easy adjustment. The cloth lens shade

wraps around the lens to keep light from entering from the rear. The LCD can be postioned fore/aft by

loosening it’s thumbscrew. The LCD can be quickly removed for safe, compact transport. The mirror

assembly can also be quickly nad easily removed for

safe and compact transport.
