Review on 📷 USB Camera with Varifocal Lens and 4X Optical Zoom - 2.8-12mm Adjustable Range of View Webcam, 2MP CMOS OV2710 with Varifocus, Focus Adjustable 1080@30fps Raspberry Pi Web Cam by Joseph Mathis

I bought this camera primarily for a video conference where I needed to capture a small group of people sitting and standing around a conference table. Plugged directly into a Windows 10 laptop, it worked well as it looked like a simple USB 2.0 webcam to the computer. While considering how we would run this conference, I tried Skype, OBS, Zoom, GoToMeeting, Facebook LIVE, and YouTube live streaming. He worked great with everyone. One of the models with a wider lens could have been better suited for this application, but it did the job well. By positioning it where it is in my second photo and with the lens set to the widest possible position, I was able to capture just over the full width of the banner at the table used for the conference. The picture that is there is great. It's a great deal for the price, but there are a few minor issues to deal with. 1) This is a fully manual camera and with the lens it comes with it doesn't have the same depth of field as the GoPro. It's nothing negative, it's just something to be aware of. 2) The tripod mounting hole is 1/4-20 thread but no second hole to index the camera to the mount on the moving head to prevent it from rotating. The last picture shows a small Canon camcorder and a moving head mount. what would be the preferred mounting option. This webcam only has a 1/4-20 threaded hole and no index hole - adding it in a future release will be a huge plus. In general I am very happy with it. If it had an extra pointer hole I would give it 5 stars.
