    Hey there !
    Yes, I know this means probably reaching the limits of the Movi Pro, but I'm trying to find a way to put an Epic + Teleprompter on my Movi Pro.

    It needs to be a real prompter (with mirror), with 7-10" screen. Ideally I'd be using an EF mount Sigma 18-35 lens (without focus/iris motor as I'm using the internal AF motor from the lens with RT Motion's Latitude on the Epic).

    Here's what I'm thinking so far :
    - Using Cinemilled counterweights to balance the rig, as it's clearly gonna be super front heavy. I'd probably also keep a 95 Wh battery on the back of the camera to also add some weight on the back of the camera.
    - Using an iPad teleprompter to limit the screen weight, along with a Teradek Serv pro that would send the prompter feed to the iPad.
    - Find a way to attach the teleprompter to the existing 15mm Rods.

    I've done this once a few months ago with an A7S and a 7" prompter, and it was a real pain to balance, I had to add so many counterweights that it even maxed out my Easyrig, which had never happened before.

    But I'm sure there has to be a way to make this work. Any ideas ? ;)

    Thanks,
    Nils.
