Teleprompters have seen something of a surge in popularity over the last couple of years as more and more people have hopped onto YouTube. They’re invaluable for saving time when you regularly want to put out content. No longer do you actually have to try to memorise a script and shoot the same sequence 15 times because you keep messing it up.

The leader in low-budget teleprompters has been the Parrot 2. The Parrot’s seen a little bit of a price drop since its initial release, but now there’s a new contender in town, the Desview T2, which can accept smartphones and tablets with screens up to 8″ for easier reading and only costs $119.

The Desview R5 on-camera monitor is one of the new models in the latest wave of low-budget field monitors that packs in a number of high-budget features. It’s a 5.5″ touchscreen monitor that offers HDMI passthrough, DC power output and advanced features like LUT support, waveform and vectorscope.

Its main competitor is arguably the Feelworld F6 Plus (review here), which recently released a firmware update which also adds waveform and vectorscope. They’re both at a very similar price point and offer similar features, so how does the new Desview R5 stand up? Let’s find out.
