Elgato Prompter XL — Quick Start Guide

1) First, secure Prompter XL onto a tripod or mount that can support the combined weight of your teleprompter and camera. Prompter XL features three mounting thread (two ¼" and one ⅜")—choose a position that provides the best balance for your setup. Once mounted, fully tighten the ball head on your tripod or mount to lock everything in place.

Taking time to properly secure the mount now will prevent stability issues throughout the setup process.

2) To install the beamsplitter glass, align the slots at the top of the glass with the corresponding tabs at the top of Prompter’s XL frame. Then swing the bottom of the glass forward to align with the bottom tabs and press firmly into place.

The beamsplitter glass can be easily removed for traveling or cleaning with the included cloth.

3) To install the display, orient it with the USB-C port facing the rear of Prompter XL, then place it on the magnetic platform. The magnets will automatically align and secure your display in the correct position.

Be careful of the strong magnetic pull—keep your fingers clear to avoid pinching them between the display and Prompter XL.

4) To remove Prompter XL’s display, grip either the left or right edge and pull straight up. Avoid pulling from the center of the display, as this requires significantly more force to overcome the magnetic hold.

Your Prompter XL comes with two backplates that can be swapped out to fit different camera types and sizes.

Ring Backplate
For larger DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and camcorders with threaded lenses.

Do not use with motorized lenses.

Universal Backplate
For all other cameras—including camcorders, webcams, and cameras that don't fit the Ring Backplate requirements.

1) Insert the Ring Backplate into the rear of Prompter XL, using the bottom tab to guide it into position. Secure it with two Mounting Screws.

2) Attach the Camera Bracket to Prompter XL using a Mounting Screw, but don’t fully tighten it yet.

3) Screw the appropriate step-up ring (included) onto your camera’s lens thread. Compatible thread sizes are 49, 52, 55, 58, 62, 67, 72, 77, and 82mm.

4) Align the step-up ring on your camera with the grooves on the Ring Backplate, then slide the camera down until it seats in the center of the backplate.

Keep supporting your camera—don't let go until you've completed Step 5.

5) While supporting your camera with one hand, use your other hand to bring the Camera Bracket up to the camera. Then screw the last Mounting Screw into your camera's ¼" mounting thread.

Once your camera is secured to both the backplate and Camera Bracket, tighten the vertical Mounting Screw to lock everything in place.

1) Insert the Universal Backplate into the rear of Prompter XL, using the bottom tab to guide it into position.

2) Drape the shroud over Prompter XL to keep it out of your way, then secure the backplate using two Mounting Screws.

3) Attach the Camera Bracket to Prompter XL using a Mounting Screw, but don’t fully tighten it yet.

4) Attach your camera to the Camera Bracket with a Mounting Screw, but leave it loose for now.

5) Lift the Camera Bracket to center your camera's lens in Prompter XL's opening. Once centered, fully tighten the Mounting Screw on the vertical rail to lock the bracket in position.

6) Slide your camera forward until it's as close to the glass as possible without touching it, then fully tighten the Mounting Screw on the bracket’s horizontal rail.

1) Connect the right-angle USB-C plug to Prompter XL with the cable pointing downward.
