If you need to reduce onsite crew numbers we can pre-rig our full-size 22” on-camera displays prior to the gig ready to accept our remote prompt signal. We can also supply brackets for beside/above-lens mounting of mobile device

Prompt Service can deliver an on-camera ProPrompter system with mounting brackets for handheld devices from the smallest smartphone through to iPad, as well as a 7” HDMI monitor. Prompt Service was the first company in NZ to provide remote teleprompting to any internet-connected device, from mobile phones to laptops, anywhere in the country. Generally the 15″ or 12” monitor+hood units are the most appropriate option. It also doesn’t require a heavier tripod. To enable it to be mounted directly onto the lens of an internal focus camera it has a much smaller (9” widescreen) monitor so can only be read from a few metres away (especially outdoors), but does mean that it’s better suited to confined spaces (in-car, in-cockpit) or handheld or Stedicam shoots. We also have a ProPrompter system available. In short, we’ve yet to find a camera we can’t accommodate on our rig (see the variety of rigs featured above) The monitors also have view controls for brightness, contrast and image options.Īs long as you have a heavy enough tripod to support the weight of the prompter we can also mount miniDVCAMs.

We will supply enough battery power to operate for a full day if requested. The weight of the 12-inch- and more modern 15″- units is just over 5kg, and can be powered via mains or batteries. We recommend that your tripod levelling bowl has a diameter larger than 100mm and can supply a suitable tripod if required. We do not supply camera base-plates, only the mounting plates that go between the wedge/snap plate and the base-plate, however we do carry a riser to lift smaller cameras off the mounting plate. It’s worth noting that in most cases a mattebox will not be able to be used as it’ll position the camera too far away from the prompter hood.

The hood unit mounts on the tripod using and Arri adaptable mounting plate with 17mm-diameter rods, however we also have a sets of 15mmm and 19mm rods available which clients can use on their own adapter plate for mounting matteboxes and follow-focus units. The reflector glass is optically treated to reduce internal refractive ghosting of text on the reflector and may affect exposure settings by knocking light back about 1/4 a stop. These are the brightest prompter monitors available for hire in New Zealand. We have two Autoscript 12-inch LCD (or, to be exact, LCD TFT) High Bright on-camera monitors units and one 15″. Prompt Service uses Autoscript hardware and software. Sony PMW350 F5 + Technocrane Arri Alexa Mini Premium ARRI F5 + wireless tablet Free-standing rigĪrri Alexa Pro-Prompter Wireless Steadicam
