Below is a step-by-step guide on how to properly setup your OBSBOT Tail Air prompter kit.

1

Remove the large L-Bracket that came with your Elgato Prompter.

Removing the original camera support from the Prompter

Remove the x2 Elgato knurled thumbscrews holding the lens mount plate, which will then make the Elgato lens mount plate loosey goosey and ready to remove.

6

Grab the Elgato Faceplate that has the light-blocking dropcloth attached to it. This is the best for this type of camera, since this camera is not officially supported with Elgato Prompter.
