The Desview T5 11″ Foldable Smartphone Teleprompter is a portable, dual-screen system designed for content creators using mobile devices. Priced at $99 USD, it features a beam splitter glass design that supports horizontal and vertical shooting, with a maximum screen compatibility of 11 inches. It is currently available as a lightweight, non-adjustable mounting solution for smartphone-based production.
Design Specs and Hardware Capabilities
The Desview T5 utilizes a dual-screen configuration to facilitate both script reading and real-time monitoring. According to official product specifications, the system includes a primary slot for teleprompting content and a secondary slot intended for a talent monitor or live streaming management device. The unit weighs 1.1 lb (520 g) and measures 8.0 x 8.0 x 4.3 inches.
The hardware is built around a single-side high-reflection mirror. Desview claims this professional beam splitter glass provides high light transmittance, which allows the camera to capture images through the glass without degradation. The system is designed for readability at distances up to 13.1 feet (3.99 m), making it suitable for various studio or field setups.
Workflow Integration and Compatibility
Deployment centers on a snap-on phone clamp system, intended to reduce the time required to switch between horizontal and vertical shooting orientations. The package includes a set of camera adapter rings, a shading hood, and a Bluetooth remote controller for wireless script management. Users must provide their own display device—such as an iPad or smartphone—and third-party teleprompter software, as these are not included with the $99 purchase.
The system supports tablets or phones with a maximum diagonal screen size of 11 inches (27.9 cm). While the unit is foldable, its fixed height necessitates reliance on the mounting hardware of the user’s specific tripod or light stand setup.
