This is pretty funny. I just found your previous video about the Parrot and immediately ordered it. Then I saw this video and had to go back and cancel my order and order this model instead. Excellent review. No time wasted and you answered all the questions I had! Thank you!
I really appreciate you mentioning actual focal lengths. I need to shoot a little wider and knowing that it handles your lens at 18mm is incredibly helpful! I just clicked on your link and purchased! Thank you!
I had been using the Padcaster Parrot for over a year, and just last week received the Desview T2 that I bought from Amazon. I can def confirm that everything you said in your video is accurate. For myself, the primary reason is that I want a larger screen so I can use a larger device such as a small tablet. The Parrot due to its small size meant I had to go out to buy a small phone with a small screen so it would fit within the small borders of the Parrot teleprompter. That made things a bit hard to read with my camera at 4 feet distance away, in addition to having to zoom out the lens to avoid seeing the borders of the prompter. But the Desview T2 is at least 2 times larger in screen size, so that means I can either use my normal phone which is the large Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ or use my Samsung 8" tablet. The 8 inch screen size tablet fits the Desview T2 perfectly and I can now see and read much larger scrolling text, so for that reason alone I'm blown away and am satisfied. The Desview T2 teleprompter app is crude and rudimentary, so I prefer to use the Parrot teleprompter app instead. For now, I'm also using the Parrot remote control (despite its clicky-ness) along with the Parrot teleprompter app when using the Desview T2 teleprompter, so it's nice to mix and match different pieces to suit my preference. The Desview T2 is definitely worth the $119 price tag! Especially compared to the $150 price tag that I paid for the Parrot a couple years ago. I almost got the $200 Glide Gear TMP-100 teleprompter but in the end, I decided I did not want to bother with the cloth design of covering the lens from glare, that was a turn-off for me. By the way, some other reviewers on TH-cam are saying the Desview T2 is cutting down the light exposure by roughly 2/3rd of a stop plus the Desview T2 makes the image slightly warmer. That may or may not be accurate as I haven't used it enough to say for sure, but I thought that was an interesting observation from other reviews. Overall I like the Desview T2, it's super easy to use and works just like the Parrot with the various step-up lens rings. I wish this was available a couple years ago when I was looking for a teleprompter. Lastly, have you tried using the "PromptSmart Pro" teleprompter app, it's the one that is voice activated? I tried that for a few hours, but the app kept freezing on me and would not work properly. I finally had to switch back to my manual Parrot remote control to finish my video cuz the PromptSmart Pro voice activation prompter app was so unreliable.
Great comment! Yeah I mix and match as well. I really enjoy the simplicity of the Parrot app and Parrot remote, but I still use the Desview teleprompter due to the fact that it allows me to have a much wider shot.
@@TechAuditTV Yeah for sure! I'm deep into camera gear with various interchangeable lenses for my assorted Canon cameras, so I def know what you mean by not being to go wide with the Parrot. But that was less of a concern for me since I was able to improvise. But being able to use a much larger screen on the Desview makes a huge improvement for me as you know. Dang, I can even take off my reading glasses and read the text from the Desview from 4 feet away! Can't do that with the Parrot! So now I have a choice of either wearing my reading glasses to look smart, or remove my reading glasses so I don't have to be so finicky with my softbox LED light placement to avoid glare, haha!
I just posted my latest TH-cam video on how I setup my place for a home studio for filming TH-cam videos. In my video, I'm using both the Canon Vixia G60 camcorder (with the Parrot attached), plus using the Canon 90D DSLR with the Canon 17-55mm f2.8 zoom lens. Check it out if you have time: th-cam.com/video/Er_SxI0iPdo/w-d-xo.html
3:05 What app is this? I have the Desview app and it doesn't look like that at all, it doesn't even have an option for a sight line. If what I am using is a newer version of the app then they changed it for the worse.
Hey mate, tks for the review. Really helpful. I'm concerning about my canon 24mm using the Desview T2 model. On the amazon page it says *"Support wide angle lens: Support shooting with wide angle not less than 35mm".* You said you shot with 18mm, but the specs tell min 35mm. What is your thought? Cheers tks.
@ Chain of Blocks, just simply mirror-flip you powerpoint presentation slides with ppt-mirror.com tool for your Tablet etc, and use in a Teleprompter, to lead while speaking and avoid memorizing which keeps your speech natural, the tool is not word for word reading. best Syrie
Ty for this! Just bought the Desview using your link. For Canadians, the parrot seems to be out of stock and costs 250+ but the desview was 170 and ships in 3 days :D Going to make editing and recording so much more efficient :D
If I use the Imaging Edge as a field monitor with my a6400 I lose the face detection. Why is it that when I then turn the app off, the camera doesn't turn face detection back on? Is there any way of framing my shot with another monitor (teleprompter blocks the flip up screen) and then get the face detection back on without having to go to the camera and fiddle with the menus? Many thanks.
Quick question!! What about the script? Does the T2 app easily allow you to copy- paste large texts from word documents. I've heard the main problem with the T2 is that you have to type in the whole script into the app. So you then end up having to purchase another app such as the promptsmart pro to copy-paste text from documents? Is this true? Would appreciate the clarification! Thank you!!
Why not just use your existing Powerpoint slides as your teleprompter software using PPT Mirror tool?, it's even better and easy, because the tool does not force you to read word for word and it works on any device in every browser.
Patrick Berglund, same situation here, so I ended up using PPT Mirror software method to convert and mirror-flip my existing PPT slides for my iPad and display them in TTL (through the lens) in the teleprompter (advancing the slides with remote), as I aways have my whole concept in front of camera,I don't have to read word-for-word, I only use bullet points structure to avoid over-scripting myself out completely, therefore my conversation remain on target. which leads my videos to be more natural and conversational. I experienced that it is a good option that assisst's in delivering professional narration than word-for-word scripts. best wishes.
Brandon, I just watched your video on the Desview teleprompter. It looks like the perfect one for me, but I have a Sony ZV-1 camera, it doesn't have a screw-on ring at the end of the lens and so I wonder if the Desview has an adapter for what's essentially a point-and-shoot camera. Thanks for your time and I enjoyed your video. Cheers, Aaron
I am using a Sony ZV-1 and suspect the Desview would be in the way of being able to view the flip out screen. The Parrot would make more sense in this regard. However, I am also not going to get the Parrot without getting an answer to this question - will it work with my big Note 20 Ultra smartphone. Does the adapter that comes with the Parrot work with something that big?
i have a T2 and it works great with my Canon. The T2 has gotten dusty inside out which I will try harder to avoid going forward. any ideas on the best way to cleat the T2 inside and out?
Thanks for Good Review. My query I am using Canon 200D Mark 2 and using this lens EF-S 18-55mm f4 is STM Lens. Will this teleprompter work with this lens?
What kind of tripod are you attaching this to? I’m planning to use two phones or one phone and a tablet for this(in other words I won’t be using a camera) but I don’t know how to attach it to the tripod. Maybe I’m missing a step or maybe there is an adapter or amount or something that I need. Any help would be appreciated.
That's a great question. The answer is "kind of". The teleprompter blocks about 50% of the flip out screen so if seeing that picture is important you may want to invest in some type of field monitor.
Is it just me or does the focus look a bit softer and more distorted on the Desview in the given link? Is that attributable to the Desview alone or just some other setting?
Great video. Keep them coming...😃 I struggle using the telepromter outside in the sun. Any tips and recommendations to share how this could be made to work? Its reaaly hard to see the words (on my phone) on the telepromter...Thanks!
Hmmm, that's interesting. Are you a member of the TATV Discord? Would love to see a pic. Only thing I can think of is zooming the lens to crop it out, but that's not always a great solution.
not sure if anyone cares at all but in less than 15 minutes I hacked my girlfriends Instagram password by using Instaplekt. Cant link here so search for it on google if you wanna try it
How is this for seeing the flip out screen for monitoring? Compared to the parrot? I have an m50 and would like to use my 15-45 and my flip out screen for monitoring.
Great question, should have covered this. It's a little tougher to see the flip out, but with a slight lean you can glance at the LCD to ensure you are in frame and all of that. If this is a major concern it may be worth investing in a field monitor or just running your video feed to a plugged in monitor
thanks for sharing this video I been looking into a teleprompter for a while trying to find one that best fits my needs. I'm a new TH-camr so this video was definitely needed. Thanks a lot. Quick question, I see you can use the remote to scroll but do this have a voice tracker feature, or is that based on the app I download?
Thanks so much for this review. Im interested in the Desview. In have the basic Sony 16-50mm Lens with 40.5 filter size. Are there any size up adapters for this so I can use this teleprompter or other work arounds? Thanks
Great advice thank you very VERY much....I watched both of your videos on the Parrot 2 and T2 and the T2 is the one I am looking at..... I have made only ONE film and this would be a massive time saver..... I did not realise how easy it is to mess up your lines speaking from a written script!! .... I have several questions.... I am using currently a simple JVC Everio camcorder o record my clips, I assume that the T2 will fit it as it has thread patterns in the inside of the lenses bit.... Not sure of the size but that does not matter, do you know it will fit?....Second if I got a upgrade video recorder where it has a sound boom for outside work what would you advise??? (I might have opened a can of worms here) And my last question is I have a Nokia 3.2 "smartphone" (although its probably not that smart!!) will the prompt thing work on that or is there something else I should consider?? My 1st film was a hour long (MUCH TOO LONG BUT THAT WAS NOT MY CHOICE!!) and I probably spent 150 hours doing it with writing and all and, filming and I can see that one of these WILL help.... ..... Thanks in anticipation....Good job....
The teleprompter comes with a range of adapter sizes for different lense sizes. You should be able to check the Amazon link description and reviews to see if your lense fits. I would definitely advise on an external mic with a boom arm as that is what I do as well. As for the app, just open the app store right now and search for the app to see if you can download it.
Hi Shaun why not just use powerpoint in a teleprompter using your Nokia 3.2 ? but you would have to have to mirror-flip the slides using ppt-mirror.com tool ( Free Version Available to test if the tool meets your demands)..the advantage of using the tool is you don't memorize your script because you use your existing slides, and your speech remains natural because the tool does not force you to read word for word.... its worthy to give a try especialy with the situation you're trying to escape.
Excellent unbiased review! Quick question; you say that I can use my iphone to record the video. So, don't I need a second iphone or tablet in order to read the script. Also, do you know if I'd be able to use the Desview T2 Teleprompter with a GoPro 8 or 9 camera? Thanks.
If you are recording with your phone, then you will need a second device to use as the actual teleprompter. I haven't tested with a GoPro but I imagine you could buy a multi-mount and use the two together.
This was super helpful, I was going to purchase the • Parrot Teleprompter 2:, and now I've seen this I will be purchasing the Desview T2 Teleprompter instead.
Hi, Thank you for the review If I convert and mirror-flip powerpoint slides for my smartphone and use with a teleprompter for online sales videos? would it be professional and leads my speech to more natural?
@@TechAuditTV It's a great option man and very modern, the advantage is it leads you while speaking and you don't read word for word even to memorize your lines because you use your existing slides the whole concept is in mind, check the exhibitive link for the tool th-cam.com/video/wknjNwuNLkY/w-d-xo.html
Hey, on the parrot it seems small enough that you could use the camera flip out screen to monitor composition, is that possible on the Desview or is it too large?
@@TechAuditTV I mean, can you make the font larger than the Parrot? Or the larger teleprompter screen does not translate to the capacity to make the text bigger?
@@Postdisclosureworld At the end of the day it's limited by your phone size. Still seems like you have more options with the Desview, but you are already maxing out the size on your phone, I don't know if there will be a difference. You can download their app for free and compare!
@@TechAuditTV ok, thanks but your latest video is still in 60p what you are doing wrong is using 1/120 instead of 1/60 television are using 60p at 1./60 the 180 degree rule is for slow mo
On Amazon it said that you can't copy and paste text into the app, and that you can only type in the app itself. According to that review, you can't import a document like a google doc or word document. Is this true? I can't believe that's true. The reviews were really weird on Amazon. Thanks!
@@durosoto Yes I did. It's honestly pretty clunky and mine might be somewhat defective. It is extremely hard to get the cover off of the housing that sits on your camera and even though they provide you with lik e8 different sizes to put on your lens as an adaptor, they didn't have one that fit my 15-45mm Canon EOS M50 kit lens and i had to shove the piece of foam that the cover sits in into a larger one and force it onto my camera, and putting the housing on the lens is scary because you have to use A LOT of force to put it on and my lens actually feels like it's going to snap whenever I put it on or take it off. Once it's on, it's not bad to use, even though the start/stop button is incredibly clicky and you can hear it in the footage. You can't import files but you can copy and paste them, so it's fine I guess... I would've rather spent an extra $60 on a better made product. Now I never want to use it because it's such a pain to put on/take off. Also doesn't fit on my tripod correctly. I will say, once it's on it's not bad as an actual teleprompter. I'd say it's a 5/10.
Can anyone that owns this confirm or deny whether or not you're able to paste in text into the app that goes along with this? I read an Amazon review stating you're not able to & it's keeping me from purchasing this. Thanks
Okay! I convienced my mom, she is placing the order for me...because I drive her crazy and she drives me crazy when we are making my videos for my channel, it will be a life Saverrrrr!
NOT GOOD. I bought it last week. When I put my phone on it the camera lens can't move to autofocus itself and shuts down the camera, all because the lens has to hold all the teleprompter's and phone's weight. So better get something that has support for camera and teleprompter both and that doesn't affect the movement of the lens.
This is pretty funny. I just found your previous video about the Parrot and immediately ordered it. Then I saw this video and had to go back and cancel my order and order this model instead. Excellent review. No time wasted and you answered all the questions I had! Thank you!

When you use teleprompter
You use manuel focus or autofocus in your camera 📷 ?
If I use the Imaging Edge as a field monitor with my a6400 I lose the face detection. Why is it that when I then turn the app off, the camera doesn't turn face detection back on?
Is there any way of framing my shot with another monitor (teleprompter blocks the flip up screen) and then get the face detection back on without having to go to the camera and fiddle with the menus?

Not sure of the size but that does not matter, do you know it will fit?....Second if I got a upgrade video recorder where it has a sound boom for outside work what would you advise??? (I might have opened a can of worms here) And my last question is I have a Nokia 3.2 "smartphone" (although its probably not that smart!!) will the prompt thing work on that or is there something else I should consider?? My 1st film was a hour long (MUCH TOO LONG BUT THAT WAS NOT MY CHOICE!!) and I probably spent 150 hours doing it with writing and all and, filming and I can see that one of these WILL help.... ..... Thanks in anticipation....Good job....
The teleprompter comes with a range of adapter sizes for different lense sizes. You should be able to check the Amazon link description and reviews to see if your lense fits. I would definitely advise on an external mic with a boom arm as that is what I do as well. As for the app, just open the app store right now and search for the app to see if you can download it.
Hi Shaun
why not just use powerpoint in a teleprompter using your Nokia 3.2 ? but you would have to have to mirror-flip the slides using ppt-mirror.com tool ( Free Version Available to test if the tool meets your demands)..the advantage of using the tool is you don't memorize your script because you use your existing slides, and your speech remains natural because the tool does not force you to read word for word.... its worthy to give a try especialy with the situation you're trying to escape.
Hey, awesome review man! Quick question - do you think/know if I can use a GoPro Hero7 in the phone attachment part of the DesView prompter? Thanks!
Doesn't the text being reflected in the mirror get in the way of recording? Wouldn't the DSLR camera pick up the text being reflected on the mirror?
That's the magic of teleprompters! No text is seen on screen!
Excellent unbiased review! Quick question; you say that I can use my iphone to record the video. So, don't I need a second iphone or tablet in order to read the script. Also, do you know if I'd be able to use the Desview T2 Teleprompter with a GoPro 8 or 9 camera? Thanks.
If you are recording with your phone, then you will need a second device to use as the actual teleprompter. I haven't tested with a GoPro but I imagine you could buy a multi-mount and use the two together.
@@TechAuditTV Thanks a lot.
I'm quite wary of the lens tip attachment method. Any experience there over the long term?
I've been using a teleprompter on DSLR lenses for about a year now and no problems! They are super lightweight. Most of the weight is your phone.
This was super helpful, I was going to purchase the • Parrot Teleprompter 2:, and now I've seen this I will be purchasing
the Desview T2 Teleprompter instead.
Hi, Thank you for the review
If I convert and mirror-flip powerpoint slides for my smartphone and use with a teleprompter for online sales videos? would it be professional and leads my speech to more natural?
I've never tried that but I don't see why that wouldn't work. Pretty cool idea! 💡
@@TechAuditTV It's a great option man and very modern, the advantage is it leads you while speaking and you don't read word for word even to memorize your lines because you use your existing slides the whole concept is in mind, check the exhibitive link for the tool th-cam.com/video/wknjNwuNLkY/w-d-xo.html
Hey, on the parrot it seems small enough that you could use the camera flip out screen to monitor composition, is that possible on the Desview or is it too large?
Will a Canon GX7 Mark III attach to this teleprompter?
Can you use a GoPro hero 9?
That is a good question!
Perfect timing. Thanks for this
You're welcome!
Thanks bro, I was about to buy the Parrot. This seems like the winner
And I just bought it under your affiliate link 👍
Let’s go! Thank you!
Thank you for making this video!
just bought it! thank you so muuuuch!
thank you very much for the info it really was usefull
what kind of camera should i buy for this? what kind of camera are you using with this?
You'll want either a DSLR or mirrorless camera!
Can you make the text LARGER on this new teleprompter?
Yep! You can adjust the font size
@@TechAuditTV I mean, can you make the font larger than the Parrot? Or the larger teleprompter screen does not translate to the capacity to make the text bigger?
@@Postdisclosureworld At the end of the day it's limited by your phone size. Still seems like you have more options with the Desview, but you are already maxing out the size on your phone, I don't know if there will be a difference. You can download their app for free and compare!
@@TechAuditTV Thank you for the comprehensive answer.
What is the weight difference?
What if you have an ND filter on your lense ?
Thank you for confirming that the parrot won't work with wide angle hahaha
Is it compatible with Sony a5100?
hi, what's your shutter speed 1/60 or 1/120? thanks
In this video I believe I was shooting at 1/120 because it was at 60fps. I'm starting to film at 30fps so I've moved to 1/60
@@TechAuditTV ok, thanks but your latest video is still in 60p
what you are doing wrong is using 1/120 instead of 1/60
television are using 60p at 1./60
the 180 degree rule is for slow mo
super helpful!
On Amazon it said that you can't copy and paste text into the app, and that you can only type in the app itself. According to that review, you can't import a document like a google doc or word document. Is this true? I can't believe that's true. The reviews were really weird on Amazon.
Thanks!
You can. I write my script on my PC in Google Docs, then I open that doc on my phone, copy it, and then paste it into the teleprompter app.
@@TechAuditTV Thank you so much for this reply! This made me feel comfortable enough to purchase. lol idk what's wrong with that reviewer...
@@RhymeMastaMasse did you finally buy it and how has it been?
@@durosoto Yes I did. It's honestly pretty clunky and mine might be somewhat defective. It is extremely hard to get the cover off of the housing that sits on your camera and even though they provide you with lik e8 different sizes to put on your lens as an adaptor, they didn't have one that fit my 15-45mm Canon EOS M50 kit lens and i had to shove the piece of foam that the cover sits in into a larger one and force it onto my camera, and putting the housing on the lens is scary because you have to use A LOT of force to put it on and my lens actually feels like it's going to snap whenever I put it on or take it off.
Once it's on, it's not bad to use, even though the start/stop button is incredibly clicky and you can hear it in the footage.
You can't import files but you can copy and paste them, so it's fine I guess...
I would've rather spent an extra $60 on a better made product. Now I never want to use it because it's such a pain to put on/take off. Also doesn't fit on my tripod correctly.
I will say, once it's on it's not bad as an actual teleprompter. I'd say it's a 5/10.
lol, sorry for the novel of a reply...
The BestView app is horrible. Are there alternative apps you can use that work? They is needs to work with the remote
thanks it's way better than the parrot one. No crop issue thanks to the bigger size.
Still not big enough for an iPad Air, would've been nice.
Can anyone that owns this confirm or deny whether or not you're able to paste in text into the app that goes along with this? I read an Amazon review stating you're not able to & it's keeping me from purchasing this. Thanks
Yep you can paste in text!
Hey my friend!! How are you man?
Very well! Always good to see your name in the comments!
I need to use an iPad pro! So the size of this doesn't work…. :(
Okay! I convienced my mom, she is placing the order for me...because I drive her crazy and she drives me crazy when we are making my videos for my channel, it will be a life Saverrrrr!
Because the screen is small, the maximum distance of meters can be read.
Please make a video on how to stream games from mobile/pc .
NOT GOOD. I bought it last week. When I put my phone on it the camera lens can't move to autofocus itself and shuts down the camera, all because the lens has to hold all the teleprompter's and phone's weight. So better get something that has support for camera and teleprompter both and that doesn't affect the movement of the lens.
Oh no! What camera are you using?
@@TechAuditTV I am using Canon RP with RF 35 lens
That thing is under 50 USD on Aliexpress. Your Amazon link - almost 90 pounds. Double.
i bought it . Now i gotta learn how to Read of this thing Naturally. on action, my mouth just Goes 😂😩. any ideas anyone? any hacks ?
cant use a sony sv e10 on that crap!
