question

Can you mount this prompter on a light stand?
Asked by: Anonymous
I would highly recommend against using this Teleprompter on just a light stand. It weighs 10 pounds and its shape will make it difficult to remain stable. A tripod like B&H #DAPVT7518B from Davis & Sanford would be a far more suitable option.

question

Has anyone purchased the SKB 1914-8 Case? Which one is it exactly?
Asked by: Robyn R.
The reusable storage foam that the PT1200 comes with is compatible with the SKB 1914-8 Case. We suggest getting SKB 3I-1914-8B-E, which is the empty version of the case.
