Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. LOOKS LIKE THIS IS ROD-SUPPORTED. what if i use a lens that also requires rod support? will it still work? if not, is there a Fortinge solution that is NOT rod-supported? it looks like Fortinge is a good quality solution. thanks!

A: This set up uses standard 15mm rods. If you are using a lens that requires a lens support then you will need to make sure that there is enough room on the rods for both the lens support and the teleprompter to mount. If you need longer/shorter rods you may swap out the rods as needed with rods made by other manufactures.

Q: 2. can someone please tell me how to assemble the impact 10 pound counterweight?

A: no assembly required and the weight works rather well as counter balance

Q: 3. MAC COMPATIBLE?

A: The included software with the Fortinge 21" High-Bright Studio Prompter with SDI is not Mac compatible at this time.

Q: 4. Is the SDI input option available separately, to install onto my PROS21?

A: If you have an HDMI prompter you really would have to purchase the SDI display or use a simple SDI to HDMI converter like the following with your current prompter. SDI to HDMI converter idea that would allow you to input SDI into an HDMI only display. Lumantek SDI to HDMI Converter with Display and Scaler BH #LUEZSHV https://bhpho.to/3BBtEVD

Q: 5. The plate tightens down, but there's no way it would tighten enough to be secured to a grip arm. Are you supposed to remove the HEX screws and move the plate to the lower section, using only two screws?

A: Loosen the hex and the main screw fully. Place the weight on the arm, then tighten the hex screws so that the plate is snug - this will move the plate down. Then fully tighten with the main screw clamp. The hex screws are there to allow travel of the plate for different sized (diameter) arms...

Q: 6. Can you put this weight on a LS-CB6 boom stand from impact ?

A: Yes you can put this weight on the Impact LS-CB6.

Q: 7. how to install supporting software?

A: Hello, You need to load the CD that is given with the hand control. And then you may find the related file to proceed inside prompter software. Anycase, if you face a problem, then you may check the PDF file that you can find along with the hand controller. Please feel free to contact if you need further assistance. Thanks. Pınar.

Q: 8. What are the exact dimensions of the reading area -the glass front-?

A: The glass dimensions are not provided by Fortinge. However, the Fortinge NOA Tablet Prompter glass should be 11x11 or 12x12" glass since this prompter has a reading distance of 12 feet.

Q: 9. does this teleprompter come with a foot pedal and hand control?

A: No, the Fortinge 12" Studio Teleprompter Set with optional SDI In & Out does not come with these controllers for hand and foot operation.

Q: 10. The reviewer mentions a remote to switch the Input to HDMI. Can you please link that here so I can purchase it?Thanks,Sandeep

A: According to MagiCue, their current software does not use a remote. The teleprompter requires a computer to be connected directly by wire. The provided software will then allow whatever control is needed.

[Black] I purchased this teleprompter to use for our promotional videos. It's really user friendly, easy to carry and set up. The height is adjustable and the stability is really successful. Exactly worth it 5

[Black] Just great 5

[Black] I absolutely love these weights. I used these to weigh down my cstand rather than using sandbags. 5

[Black] A light/flag/object attached to a boom arm, mounted on a light stand/c-stand or even a fixed object, will offer increased weight as the boom arm is extended. In physics this is known as torque or the rotational equivalent of linear force. A children's teeter totter is a classic example. The Impact 10lb Counter Weight is the product to use to make the boom arm balanced. It fits boom arm diameters from about 0.5 - 1 inch (14-27mm). It fits the standard C-stand boom arm. Exact diameter figures are difficult to determine because the product has four small screws that change the diameter opening where the boom arm is locked into place. There is rubber padding to grip and protect the boom arm. The large plastic handle is used for tightening the weight to the boom arm. Yellow paint is used for safety awareness so a person notices it while working on set. The weight is all magnetic metal. Danger exists if the weight came loose while mounted. Therefore use caution so mistakes are not made. I recommend this product, and give it a grade A (using the U.S. school grade A-F system). It will last a lifetime. Just don't drop it on your foot, and when mounting on a boom arm double check the attachment for security and safety. 5

[Black] Easy to use. Works exactly like it should! 5

[Black] I am not giving up sandbags altogether but I have ordered more of these. It is much easier to control where the weight is on the stand or boom arm and the compact size and not having to worry about dust or bags wearing out and leaking contents (I use pea gravel) they are great for working at client locations. 5

[Black] Added a great deal of stability to my light stand. 5

[Black] These work great! I've seen some reviews that say they have issues with the adjustment screws. I don't see that at all. You just have to adjust the screws close to the size you need then use the main adjustment handle to refine and tighten. For smaller diameter booms, I flipped the bracket upside down and adhered a rubber pad. (see photo) Works perfectly. Consider these are $20 less than Manfrotto and other brands. Much better and more professional looking than those leaky sandbags. 5

[Black] They are compact and easier to transport than sandbags. They clip on stands or other support without the need for clamps. 5
