ikan PT1200 Reviews

Small and portable

By Jason
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2022-01-22

All in all, I really love this teleprompter. It is small, but that keeps the presenter's eyes more centered on the camera. The only downside is the display seems to crop the image when I connect my iPad. I fiddled with the settings for awhile, but wasn't able to figure out how to resolve this. It works great when connecting a laptop to it.

So Glad I purchased this instead of the tablet version.

Easy to assemble and use. This teleprompter is making life easier on my customers and the learning curve for those who have never read from a teleprompter before is quick. Solid and durable, I cannot complain at all!

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.

question

I'd like to be able to feed video to the prompter via a Blackmagic Design ATEM TV Studio HD switcher (Aux output). Does the monitor give me the ability to adjust resolution so the doesn't look squeezed?
Asked by: Greg
Unfortunately, the PT1200 is designed only to work under its native resolution of 1024 x 768.
