Frequently asked questions
How does the EyeDirect work?
It uses a series of mirrors to reflect the interviewer's face onto a glass pane positioned in front of the camera lens. This allows the subject to see the interviewer while looking directly at the camera.
Does the EyeDirect require power or batteries?
No, the EyeDirect is a purely optical system. It requires no batteries, cables, or external power sources to function, making it highly reliable for field use.
Can I use an iPad with the EyeDirect?
Yes, the EyeDirect includes a specialized tray that can hold an iPad or tablet, allowing the device to function as a standard teleprompter when not used for live interviews.
What is the best lens for the EyeDirect?
It is recommended to use focal lengths between 35mm and 85mm (full-frame equivalent). Lenses wider than 35mm may see the edges of the rig, while very long lenses may require more distance than the mirrors allow.
