  2. First we will use the Part D - Lens Mount Adapter and secure it to the Elgato Prompter using the x2 Black 1/4-20 screws that was included with your kit. These were in the tiny white paper bag that had the “Thank you” sticker on it.

    There is a small lip on the bottom of the Part D - Lens Mount Adapter that is meant to secure the adapter to the prompter. Place the faceplate in the prompter bottom first and tilt the adapter up.

    You may need to apply a small amount of force to seat the adapter properly inside the prompter.

    VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE AT THIS STEP

    <aside> ⚠️ PLEASE BE ADVISED. DO NOT LEAVE THE CAMERA TO DANGLE LIKE THIS.

    While I have been testing this kit for the last 8 months, I’ve left the camera hanging like the picture above for hours, even days at a time, and it hasn’t failed. However, that doesn’t mean it wont ever fail. And your camera might be much heavier than mine.

    CleanShot 2024-08-11 at 18.49.48.png

    **When switching from landscape to portrait, support the weight of the camera with one hand while you’re rotating, or remove the camera completely to prevent the chance of the camera falling off the mount.

  5. Make sure the properly sized Elgato step-up ring is already attached to camera lens already

  6. Grab your Part B - Landscape Orientation Spacer and one other thumbscrew of choice. Use this screw to secure the Part B Landscape spacer to the part A* L-Bracket.

    Here is an example of how the parts are mounted. The Part B - Landscape spacer does not need need to be positioned exactly like this. Slide the spacer forward or back to find the best placement for your camera.
