A counterweight is attached to the back of a prompter to help the camera support balance correctly. It compensates for the extra weight of the monitor, hood and beamsplitter at the front of the setup.
Counterweight is not usually needed for Autocue Explorer teleprompters because they can be mounted underneath the monitor, which brings the weight more centrally over the camera support.
This Autocue P7011-1002 11lb counterweight is designed to fix to the 19mm rods included in the Pioneer mounting system.
Specifications- Mounting: 2x 19mm rods (studio standard 104mm pitch)
- Fixing: Single clamp knob (with safety o-ring)
- Weight: 11 lbs
