Updated review February 2021 (configuration error)

Review below ==== was my original review. I bought two of these in April 2020 to use in different homes. The connection of the cable to the back of the base started to separate on both. First it crashed intermittently while setting up the camera, now both users find it fails by simply moving the base slightly. Recently it has collapsed when sitting without adjustment. If you buy this please do not move the camera as it will eventually start to fail. I buy another brand. ==== This webcam is the only one I could find on Revain that had an adjustable stem. An internet video of the company convinced me to buy it. Assembly is almost intuitive. If you look at the photo, you will understand what needs to be done in the first two steps. This works very well for Zoom sessions. The selection appears directly in the video menu. I liked it so much that I bought a second one as a gift for an 83-year-old man who can't do anything new on his old computer. In these days of Covid-19 we can now video chat. The gooseneck adjusts well and the camera can focus on a page of a book for others in the group to read with zoom screen sharing. A nice way to use this is for those who need help with their eyesight e.g. B. reading a paper book on a screen. It can also be used as a magnifying glass as the focus is even closer than the size of a book, allowing small writing or objects to be viewed on a computer screen. Almost like a low-power microscope. The only downside I can find is that the leg LEDs turn on and off too easily. Simply adjust the stem where the camera is located and the light will alternate between on and off. The push button switch is very sensitive and should be more resistant to a very light touch. More precise buttons or slide buttons please in future launches. Maybe on the base of the block and not on the leg. In general, a very worthy block for video conferencing.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Mostly ok but...
