F.A.Q.

ikan PT4000 TELEPROMPTER

Q: Can the PT4000 monitor be powered by 14.4V power sources (such as a Gold Mount or V-Mount

battery pack)?

A: The PT4000 can be powered by any power source, ranging from 12 volts to 24 volts. This includes

standard Gold Mount or V-Mount battery packs, when attached using the optional PBK2100 line of

battery plate kits.

Q: What tripod is recommended to support the PT4000?

A: Ikan does not recommend any certain tripod for usage with the PT4000, however we do suggest certain

criteria for choosing your tripod to be used with the PT4000. The tripod should have a high weight

capacity. The weight of the assembled PT4000 is 34.7 lbs and this should be factored in with the weight

of the camera, lens and any additional accessories when determining the tripod necessary. Be aware that

you should leave room for growth between the maximum load capacity of the tripod and the full weight

of your camera and tripod rig. Additionally, for heavy studio usage, you might consider a full pedestal

unit rather than a tripod.

Q: Can I use my PT4000 for field production applications?

A: Ikan does not recommend disassembling and moving the PT4000 for location shooting. We recommend

a separate, smaller field teleprompter, such as the PT1000 or PT2100 for usage on-location and in the

field.
