Setup Guide

Below is a video introduction and step-by-step guide on how to properly setup your NackBack with the Elgato Teleprompter.

Remove the x1 Elgato L-Bracket, the x2 Elgato knurled thumbscrews holding the lens mount plate, and the lens mount plate itself.

You should be left with this:

Remove the x1 Elgato L-Bracket, the x2 Elgato knurled thumbscrews holding the lens mount plate, and the lens mount plate itself.

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.

Secure the Part D - Lens Mount Adapter to the Elgato Prompter with the x2 Black 1/4-20 screws.

Take your Part A* L-Bracket (whichever came with your kit) and secure it to the Elgato Prompter using any 1/4”-20 screw of your choice.

The following screws that were included with the kit will work.

  • Part F1, F2, F3 Thumboney Thumbscrews

  • Silver 1/4”-16mm D-Ring screw

  • Black 1/4”-20mm Thumbscrew

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

Warning: Do not let your camera 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. 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.

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.

If you purchased a Kit 1 - Collectors Edition or Kit 2 - Pro Edition, then you are support for portrait recording as well.

You did it! Good work.
