Standard Teleprompter Rental New York
$995/Day – Standard “Through-the-lens” Teleprompter. Delivered with a professional operator
The Autocue Professional Series 12″
While we have both large and small teleprompters, our primary rental unit is the Autocue Professional Series 12″.
It’s an extremely versatile and reliable machine designed for demanding “real world” broadcast studio and location shoots.
The copy is clear and easily readable in bright sunlight. To do this, a monitor must produce a minimum of 1000 Nits (Nits is the industry’s brightness standard). Our precision machines feature an outstanding 1600 Nits!
Our Gold Plate MSP 12″ mounts the prompter to a tripod using our adjustable “Gold Plate System.” It easily slides on a 15mm rail system with two sliding plates, one for the camera body and one for the lens.
This enables the camera body to move forward and backward to fit an Alexa, Red, F3 or any size camera (DV or ENG), even a small “prosumer model.” The rear of the Gold Plate rig holds one or more counterweights for use in balancing very lightweight cameras.
