ikan PT-ELITE-PRO Overview

This is the second version of the Elite Universal Tablet Teleprompter for iPad and iPad Pro with Rolling Hard Case from ikan. Faster and easier to work with than the previous version, the prompter supports tablets ranging in size from 9 x 6" to 13 x 9". It features a 70/30 beamsplitter glass for good light transmission, and the reading range varies between 10 and 14 feet, depending on the size of the tablet you use as the text monitor. The foam used to protect your teleprompter when shipped fits into the included rolling hard case, providing a custom cut foam interior to a durable hard case that protects your gear during transport and storage.

Other improvements include an easy-to-adjust base, dual-size camera riser, and an overall lighter design than on the previous version. The magnetic hood attaches to the prompter frame and helps to prevent light from sneaking around the lens and flaring the beamsplitter glass, while providing a dark background for the on-camera talent to read the prompting text against. The camera riser uses a simple reversible design that allows you to quickly change the camera height to accommodate a variety of different cameras.

Reading Range
The prompter has a 70/30 beamsplitter glass, providing a clear image or the prompter script for the talent to read without the text appearing on the camera image

Hood
The lens opening has a fabric opening with a drawstring to pull it snug around your lens and help block light

Disappointing & cheaply made

By Evan
Rated 2 out of 5
Date: 2022-07-23

First impressions aren't good. If this was a $400 package, I would figure I got what I paid for. At $950 I expected a lot more, and feel ripped off. 1- Tablet holder is a flimsy piece of plastic with thumb-screw adjusted metal L brackets. This should be a machined aluminum plate with spring-loaded clips to hold the tablet. It is secured to the rods with one thumb screw, which is too long (a washer must be used) and doesn't hold the bracket square. With a teleprompter everything needs to be squared up and lined up. The 'large tablet adapter' is a 2 aluminum spacer which is also secured with 1 additional thumb screw, increasing the mobility of the ipad holder. This should have been done with a cheese plate, or a long channel/extendable aluminum plate, or at the least 2 screws so it doesn't move. So far not good. 2- The riser for the camera IS NOT height adjustable, except for 1/4. This means it is too low for a Canon R6 (with a 70mm lens the bottom 1/4 of the frame is catching the matte box on the back of the hood) and nearly too tall for a Canon R3 with the same lens (it works if you tip the glass up to about 60 degrees) WHY IS THE CAMERA PLATFORM NOT HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE? How is this supposed to fit 'many different camera sizes'? Where are the different height plates for the camera platform? Where do I buy them? ??? 3- This setup uses hex screws with 4 different head sizes, and includes 3 hex keys, so without extra tools you can't remove the camera platform (see above). 2 head sizes should be plenti. This feels like it was thrown together from spare parts after an evening of drinking. I will absolutely look for products from a different brand going forward.

nice size upgrade, heavy and not smooth assembly

By Bret

I bought this as a size upgrade for an 8inch Auto Que mirror and rig I bought 4 years ago. That was super expensive at the time (just before ipad prompters became the norm for run and gun). Altho expensive - the rail system was top notch and you could easily move the camera back and forth and keep the base on camera for quick set up. I stopped using the Auto Que wired screen and software and used an Ipad Pro - which I had to bring the edges in to fit the smaller screen. Unable to find an auto Que mirror upgrade - I went down this route. Mirror looks great once set up - but the whole piece is heavy and clunky to adjust. Altho it is built on rails - they are encase in this metal housing - so it doesn't have any inter-changeability with other rail components. and it is really just geared towards mirrorless. My C200 will fit - but would only be secured by a 1/4 screw on the multi-level stand, which is awkward to attach to. Sony A7riii works well - but with no XLR inputs - I will now be running the boom wirelessly via a Senheiser transmitter. I would pay more for something more modular/light nut didn't see anything out there geared towards tablets. Luckily I can still use the Auto Que piece as a tripod rig and the mirror can serve as a matte box of sorts.

This is the most confusing purchase. I have the 10.5" iPad Pro so the PT-Elite-V2 will fit it? Why doesn't Ikan make things easier for its customers and supply a simple compatibility sheet?
Asked by: Marc
I do apologize for the inconvenience. The PT-ELITE-PRO2 can accept tablets that have a minimal size of 9" x 6" to a max size of 13" x 9". The Ipad Pro 10.5" dimensions are 9.8" x 6.8". You can use your Ipad Pro 10.5" with the teleprompter.

How is the visibility outdoors?

How is the visibility outdoors?
Asked by: Joshua
This teleprompter is not designed to be daylight viewable If you plan to use it outdoors its performance is going to be determined by the brightness of the screen on the tablet that you intend to use. Typically a teleprompter designed for outdoor use has a brightness measurements of 1000+ nits while the average tablet has a brightness between 300-500 nits. This doesn't necessarily mean that you 100% can't or shouldn't use it outdoors but it will be much easier to read the screen on an overcast day than on a bright summer day.

Is it possible to hook up two units to be fed by a single source?
Asked by: Gary
This is a Tablet Teleprompter System, which means you would need a way to send the same signal to two tablets which is not something we are aware of at this time. A Teleprompter that works with a computer would be a better choice as you can use a splitter to send the feed from your computer to the two different prompters.

question

Can anyone recommend a case for this prompter? The dimensions I was given by iKan for the foam are 19.5 (L) x 15.5 (W) x 6.75 (D).... Any suggestions?
Asked by: Andrew R.
According to ikan, the Elite Pro will fit in this: SKB iSeries 1914N-8 Waterproof Utility Case with Dividers B&H # SK3I1914N8BD. They also caution not to throw away the foam that the teleprompter comes in. It provides a perfect fit with the 1914N-8.
