SmallRig x Desview Teleprompter for Small DSLR/Mirrorless Cameras - Review.

[@JeffPelletier]

Great review. I trust Smallrig which had me really interested in this promoter. Bur as far as I can tell, it’s just being sold by Smallrig as a reseller, but they had nothing to do with manufacturing. It appears to be the exact same model as the version being sold without the Smallrig sticker on top.

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks. You're probably right although it has the feel of what I would expect from a SR product and if they are going to stick their name on it then they are putting their reputation on the line if it's junk. I was impressed overall, it's basic so the bar probably isn't too high but time will tell. Thanks for watching!

Is the text legible with the phone app? I noticed it was bigger with the tablet. Or did it just cover more of the text? This was an excellent review/description/tutorial.

[@HaraHetta]

Can it used to shoot vertically?

[@RayOrtega]

The lens just goes through a whole in the back so you could just set your cam up vertically instead of horizontal like you see here. Haven't tried it but doesn't seem like it should be an issue.

[@IreneYoungFoto]

Hmmm. Using that cold shoe in the direction it is pointing the mic does not appear to point outward.

[@Head2ToeTheatrical]

Just got one of these and needed to learn more about it. Thanks!

[@RayOrtega]

Awesome, enjoy!

[@issekinicho]

Great review what is the wider lens you can use with it ? Less than 24mm is ok ?

[@dougscott188]

Good share. I did not know they have one. I will check it out. Thanks!

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks for watching, Doug!

[@KunalKapur]

Hey can you shoot in both vertical and horizontal position by way of turning the camera or the phone horizonal or vertical?

[@RayOrtega]

I haven't tried it but I imagine you can just turn the camera sideways and the teleprompter can stay as is cause it spins. You'll nee a tripod with a mount that will hold you cam sideways which is often a cage you put on the camera

[@KunalKapur]

@@RayOrtega thanks buddy

[@SmallRigGlobal]

Thanks for sharing!! Very informative!!

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks. Post it to your social, let's get those views up! 😉

[@randomguy9802]

What’s the difference between this product and desview t3?

[@RayOrtega]

@@randomguy9802 Good question, it doesn't look like much if anything but I haven't tried the T3. Looks like maybe SmallRig maybe just partnered as a reseller, not sure if they changed anything or just lent their name.

"It's metal where it needs to be..." 😆 As always, great stuff, Ray. Hope all's been snazzy!

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks, Christopher! 🤘😀

[@AaronOverEverything]

So the remote will work with any app? I just ordered this and that was my only concern.

[@downundersail]

Do the screw-on rings mean you can't use ND filters while using this teleprompter?

[@Studio23creation]

Yes you can. put your ND filter on, and screw the smallrig adapter onto the nd filter.

[@Josev-TV]

What app do you usually use?

[@Saladcreamboi]

You answered my biggest question. Balancing my tablet for the text while having the phone doing the recording. The screw fixed underneath I assume means that the tablet will be centre of gravity?.... if that's the case then shut up and take my money 😉🤣

[@delykj]

Hi Ray! I bought this teleprompter, but only works well with my Canon KIT lens (EFS 18-55m). I have two prime lens (EF 50mm and EFS 24mm) and both have focusing issues when used with this teleprompter. The autos focus is not working, maybe because there is not enough power to move the focus. I don't know why the KIT lens is working. Do you have any idea?

[@RayOrtega]

Hmm not sure. Putting the ring on the thread shouldn't stop AF from working. I guess the glass could be causing the other lenses to have a hard time perhaps. Make sure there is a clear view through the glass (no reflections, dirt, fingerprints etc). Also try it with the ring on but not looking through the glass. Same issue, then maybe it's the ring, if there is no issue that way then you have a better idea that it's the glass or other.

[@KristianPage]

Thanks, not as in-depth as would have liked, but I appreciate your time. I would have liked to actually have seen you attach everything from scratch but I figured it out...

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks....I think ;)

[@realtorroshan]

You have to have 20/20 vision to read then small fonts. If you have to go get one that enlarges and bigger for easy of reading. The very reason why after a teleprompter anyway. Bigger fonts bigger display easier to read.

[@RayOrtega]

The good news is you can mount a tablet and then use large fonts, all good.

[@ADHTube]

Thanks Ray! 👍

[@4CardsMan]

The problem is that I can't read the text. It's too dim. And I can't adjust the angle of the prompter to fix the problem. I"m returning it.

[@Studio23creation]

were you shooting exterior ? that's what i'm concerned about

[@Patton4281]

are you trying to meet a time constraint? You don't actually show how to attach to camera.....

Try watching 8:58-9:12 again…

For iphones this is realy shity stuff. I don’t recommend to buy it. Lost 120$
