FAQs
What is the glare cover for?
Without the glare cover, all lights (ceiling, studio lights, etc.) will show
reflections on the beamsplitter glass and your video will look bad.
The glare cover prevents these reflections.
Two glare cover positions ... why?
Once the glare cover is fitted to the top of the beamsplitter glass, there
are two options for hooking the elastic ties: (1) at the rear of the base
or (2) under the base. Hooking the ties under the base will reduce
glare if you are outdoors in full sunlight as it creates two “walls” on
either side of the base.
Why doesn’t the glare cover have a special
elastic to tighten over the lens?
Because not all lenses are created equal. With
prompt-it ® maxi’
s
glare cover, you can simply drape it over your camera (even put your
head under the cover if you are using a small camera like a GoPro). If
you want a tighter fit, use a clip such as a binder clip or a clothes peg
and clip the cover tightly around your camera lens. It’s easy, fast to set
up and works with EVERY camera, regardless of your lens.
I have a matte box with barn doors on my camera,
will it fit?
Yes, prompt-it
®
maxi’ s glare cover simply drapes over the lens or
the camera. There are no fiddly or annoying ties to fit around your
lens. Simply use a clip such as a binder clip or a clothes peg to get a
tighter fit. Professional TV camera operators have congratulated us
on the simplicity of the design. It’s fast and easy to set up and works
on any lens size.
The text on my glass is doubling up, what’s wrong?
If you are standing very close (within 50cm to 1m of the glass),
and your tablet brightness is set to maximum, you will see slight
ghosting. This is normal. Decrease the brightness of your tablet and
step back to a reasonable distance (approx. 2m) and the ghosting
will no longer be visible. If the doubling of the text is still really visible,
then you may have the glass set up the wrong way around.
Do I really need this special glass?
The thin film optical coating provides the reflective surface for the
script. Also, ordinary glass has a green tint which will affect all your
footage. The beamsplitter glass is colour-neutral.
