ikan PT4700 Overview

Make sure your talent can read their lines clearly from up to 20' away with this Professional High Bright Teleprompter from ikan. The durable aluminum teleprompter comes with a 17" LED monitor, 70/30 beamsplitter glass, a collapsible teleprompter hood, and all the mounting hardware you need.

The bright, backlit monitor features 1920 x 1080 resolution, 160/170° viewing angle, 1000 cd/m² brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio, all which provide crisp, clear reading. The monitor has HDMI, BNC composite, and VGA inputs supporting a wide range of source options. The teleprompter comes with a collapsible hood, which includes an adjustable cloth boot to insert your lens.

There are multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting threads all around the prompter, and it comes with all the hardware needed for assembly and mounting on a tripod or rig. Three risers are included to fit which camera you're using: one for a DSLR or mirrorless camera, one for a larger camcorder, and one to attach a separately available VCT plate for mounting an ENG camera. Counterweights are also included in case the prompter becomes front heavy.

The entire kit comes in a custom-cut foam insert which can be repurposed when you want to transport it in a separately available case. An AC adapter and a copy of PrompterPro teleprompter software for Mac and Windows are also included.

Doesn't include low bracket

By Steven
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2022-08-22

This is the best of the bunch but : The low bracket which is what you'll need to mount most cameras - cinema (alexa,C series,red) or ENG - is not included and its another $99. Order both together. Meanwhile they include a high bracket with 5/8 slot which I have no idea what that is made to fit. You can't mount anything 1/4-20 or 3/8 to it. Just dumb and insulting you have to pay extra for the one thing you need to make this useful while a useless bracket is included. The case is decent but one of my latches doesn't sit completely flat. You'll need to take out the high bracket and make a few cuts in the foam to get the low bracket in. THe space where it might fit with the base plate I have filled with parts kit. Be warned there are NO extra metric screws with this, so if you spin one out and loose it... get some spares just in case. Really annoying, yet they do include a useless chrome plated hex key instead of a good T key. The case interior is ok but not a lot of extra space to put a parts kit in for various mounting needs or apprpriate cabling. On the plus side monitor is color and you can feed video into it. SDI and HDMI work fine. Panel draw is about 15W so you can run this on a 150W battery for several hours but you'll need to come up with a Dtap to coaxial cable. Thankfully its a standard cable. Prompter app included is ok but I use another one thats more fully featured and cross platform, but its usable if you don't have other options.

Product received in good condition. Teleprompter design is good except the that the black fabric that covers the lens is too thick & hard & opening is not big enough for some lens hood. Should use stretchable cloth instead & make the opening slightly bigger to accommodate different lens /hood size. ( see photo ) I don't like the prompter software provided. Should improved further on the function & flexibility. Love the hardcase, very solid. Other than that all is good, love the teleprompter, easy to assemble & nice design.

Great Piece of Equipment

We had been searching for a teleprompter for a while. We looked at some of the smaller models that utilize smart phones and realized that they just would not meet our needs. We changed our budget and looked at the professional offerings. We started with the tech specs and then the reviews. We decided on the Ikan PT4700. It works just the way we had hoped. It's easy to read at a distance and has the capability to modify one's script, speed and font. We would have given it 5 stars but there were two issues that one wouldn't discover until a purchase was made. There is no concise owners manual. Ikan does have an online help page, but it might take a bit longer to get a response than one would like. And you will need an up to date computer to utilize the unit. A cell phone won't cut it. Other than that, it's a great product. I would recommend this to my friends.

It is hard to believe that you can get a 3G teleprompter at this price point. We mounted this to our Grass Valley LDX86s with Fujinon glass, and it works great. We had a lot of doubts, but are incredibly happy with this purchase.

reflections on the glass

I have purchased two of these newer versions of the Ikan teleprompters and they must be using different glass now. Anything displayed in the prompter causes a weird reflective glare. The older style of Ikan teleptompters with the magnetic hoods never had that problem. I own ten of the old style magnetic hood Ikan prompters and loved them. Never had a problem before I started using the new updated version of these prompters with the rubber hood. They must use different glass. Get the old ikan prompters if they are still available and avoid these.

Love it

I have tried a lot of those promoters in the past and this one is finally working exactly as I expected. I suggest to use the app Power Prompter 2 which is so easy to use. Same as for prompter, I have tried many many solutions and this software is just the best.
