If you’ve ever sensed a disconnect between you and the subject you’re interviewing on-camera, you’ll find that Eyedirect products provide a simple and elegant solution for small or large camera setups. Using an ingenious beamsplitter glass assembly, Eyedirect’s signature teleprompters put a reflection of your face in front of the camera, allowing on-camera talent to make eye contact with you and the camera simultaneously. Because of the versatility of the beamsplitter assembly, these Eyedirect products can also be creatively repurposed as standard teleprompters using a separately available tablet.
The most versatile Eyedirect model is the Eyedirect Mark II. It has a long baseplate that can support a wide range of cameras, from small mirrorless to large cinema cameras and ENG camcorders. Its 50/50 beamsplitter glass provides a bright image for your camera and a clear reflection of the image of the interviewer. The Mark II is available by itself, or as a Combo with a Custom Cut Foam Rolling Case. If you don’t need as heavy of a setup as the Mark II, the Eyedirect Folding Mark E provides the same functionality in a more portable package. While the folding form factor only supports mirrorless cameras, DSLRs, and smaller camcorders on its baseplate, portability is at the heart of this design, and smaller cameras make for better mobile setups, for which the Folding Mark E is designed for.
For standard prompting setups, the Eyedirect EyePrompter might be just the product you’re looking for. Unfold the prompter and install a separately available tablet or iPad, and begin scrolling prompt text for your talent. While unfolded, it is large enough to ensure readabilitiy from a distance, but folds down to the size of a large laptop for easy storage and portability. Store it in the included padded zipper case to protect the prompter and fragile beamsplitter until your next production.
