Your Phone Deserves a Second Screen
Meet the Viltrox DC-T1: a 5-inch Full HD smartphone monitor with wired low-latency viewing, touch reverse control on supported phones, False Color exposure assistance, and a 112g body made for mobile creation.
If only the back of my phone had a screen.
The Best Camera on Your Phone Is Often the Hardest One to Use Alone
The rear camera gives you the image quality you want, but once the phone turns around, framing becomes guesswork. That is a familiar problem for solo vloggers, livestreamers, mobile filmmakers, and anyone shooting a rear-camera selfie.
The Viltrox DC-T1 Professional Phone Monitor adds a large viewing surface behind the phone, so you can see your composition, check exposure, and interact with supported camera controls without repeatedly turning the phone around. No separate monitoring app is required.
Three Ways to Keep Every Shot in View
Rear-camera filming, livestreaming, and solo video—all with a clear view of the frame.

A Phone Monitor That Keeps the Workflow Simple
Wired monitoring, direct touch interaction, dedicated controls, and practical mounting points work together as one compact system.
What You See Is What You Control
On supported smartphones, the DC-T1 touchscreen can mirror touch interaction back to the phone. Adjust focus, exposure, shooting modes, or other available on-screen controls from the monitor instead of reaching around the rig.
- No separate monitoring app required
- iOS users should enable AssistiveTouch for reverse control
- Touch-control availability depends on the connected phone and operating system
Stable, Responsive Viewing without Wireless Pairing
DC-T1 receives video directly through a USB-C connection from phones that support DisplayPort video output. The wired design avoids Wi-Fi pairing, reduces common wireless interference and dropout risks, and delivers a responsive live view.
- No Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection is required
- Phone must have USB-C with DP video output
- Independent USB-C power input supports longer shooting sessions
False Color Turns Brightness into an Instant Exposure Map
Instead of interpreting a waveform, False Color assigns colors to different brightness ranges, helping creators identify overexposed highlights, underexposed areas, and usable exposure more quickly.
Build a Mobile Rig around Your Shoot
Use the cold shoe, rear 1/4-inch thread, and 1/4-inch thread with ARRI locating holes to add lights, microphones, cages, tripods, handles, or gimbals.
Big Screen, Light Kit
At approximately 112g for the monitor body, DC-T1 keeps handheld and travel setups easier to carry.
Dedicated Controls, Fewer Menu Stops
Adjust three brightness levels, change screen orientation, and use a long-press shortcut to activate False Color.
Designed for Longer Mobile Sessions
A fanless thermal structure supports stable operation, while external USB-C power can feed the monitor and provide up to 5W power to the connected phone.
USB-C Alone Does Not Guarantee Compatibility
The phone's USB-C port must support DisplayPort video output (DP Alt Mode). A charging-only or data-only USB-C port cannot send a picture to DC-T1.
USB-C iPhone Models Only
- Designed for compatible iPhone 15-series and later USB-C models.
- Lightning-port iPhones are not supported.
- iPhone 16e, iPhone 17e, and iPhone Air are not compatible.
- Enable AssistiveTouch in iOS when using touch reverse control.
- iPad touch reverse control is not currently supported.
Confirm DP Video Output Before Purchase
- The phone must have USB-C with DP Alt Mode / DisplayPort video output.
- Many flagship models support video output, but support varies by brand, region, and model generation.
- Many mid-range and entry-level phones use USB-C only for charging and data and will not display an image.
- Touch reverse control depends on the phone's system support and may vary by device.
- Use the supplied full-featured USB-C cable for the initial setup.

Before You Connect the DC-T1
The most important setup, compatibility, power, and mounting questions for first-time users.
No. The phone's USB-C port must support DisplayPort video output (DP Alt Mode). A USB-C port used only for charging or data cannot provide a monitor signal.
No separate monitoring app is required. DC-T1 connects directly with the supplied USB-C cable. Reverse control still depends on the connected phone and operating system.
Use a compatible USB-C iPhone and enable AssistiveTouch in iOS. Lightning-port iPhones are not supported, and iPad reverse control is not currently adapted.
No. DC-T1 can draw power from the connected phone or use its independent USB-C power input. When external power is connected, it can also provide up to 5W power to the phone.
The magnetic connection is designed for the supplied bracket. Do not expect the monitor body to hold securely on every phone or surface without a suitable magnetic plate or mounting accessory.
DC-T1 is designed and promoted as a smartphone monitor. Non-phone devices are not officially supported; DJI Pocket-series connections may display an incorrect image ratio.
DC-T1 includes False Color for exposure evaluation. It does not include advanced tools such as histogram or separate RGB channel scopes.
