The first thing to find out when using this prompter kit is the diameter size of the lens ring on your
chosen camera. Usually this size is printed on the camera lens itself and it can also be found in the
cameras manual too. To help you Datavideo have supplied a variety of rings which are compatible
with the Prompter Hood and some of the standard size camera lenses.
If your camera already has a lens/filter hood fitted then you will probably want to remove this to fit the
Prompter Hood instead. Please consult your cameras manual for directions on how to remove the
existing lens/filter hood correctly.
There are two Hood Starter Rings supplied in the kit and one may already be fitted to the hood when
unpacked from the box. The outer diameter of the Hood Starter Rings is 94mm, one ring steps down
to 77mm and the other starter ring steps down to 43mm.
