Description
The Eyedirect mark II provides a flexible way of maintaining the eye contact with on-camera talent/interview subjects. It also provides a way for your on-camera subject to see a variety of different views. All the while looking directly at your camera. Suitable for DSLR, mirrorless up to full-size digital cinema cameras with large lenses.
As a prompter, the Mark II supports iPads and tablets up to 7 x 10″ and 3/8″ thick. It features a 50/50 beamsplitter that allows the talent to see the text without it showing up on your image. Removing the iPad/tablet is where the design of the Mark II shines. This is because it allows your on-camera talent to look directly at the camera. However they can see the face the interviewer behind the camera. In addition, insert a picture or headline into your subject’s eye-line, without having them look off camera.
The Eyedirect Mark II allows you set up with the interviewer behind the camera and off to either side. All the while having the talent make eye contact with the interviewer. Plus, you no longer have to worry about the interviewer leaning into the shot. Your on-camera subject maintains focus and eye contact with the interviewer while looking directly into the lens. Thus making a strong connection with the audience.
