Review on 📹 Puroma 25 Inch Flexible Gooseneck Webcam Stand with Jaws Clamp Clip Desk Mount Holder - Upgraded 360 Degree Rotation for Logitech Webcam C925e, C922x, C922, C930e, C930, C920, C615 by Roy Niemeyer

Like most people, I've been redesigning my home office over the past 15 months to accommodate more and more remote video conferencing. I have a great seat, but it serves as my personal office and office, so my webcam placement isn't as perfect as I'd like. I use a Logitech C930e camera and to say that its physical fit is anemic is kind. I'm not sure what they were thinking without enabling the camera to rotate on its own axis like all their clones do, but unfortunately that's not the case. and make the camera much more flexible when placed around the two 34 inch monitors I use. I need flexibility because I do a lot of recorded presentations and software demos as well as live meetings, so placement is important for different use cases. The particular device let me down in several areas: * The clamp is not a full U or C shape. For some reason it uses an offset shape instead of what is used on most clamps with a symmetrical design, with the clamp circuit for maximum flexibility is centered . what surface you are clamping to. This seems like a really lame way of saving materials and renders the clamp useless in many scenarios. For example, my cage has a trim piece that slopes down on the front. If it were symmetrical I could easily reinforce it there because the legs of the clamp go all the way up where the front and back are of equal thickness. Instead, the clip doesn't hold because it's beveled on the front. It's just not a very good design. The lack of symmetry also means attachment to any other unique surface is severely limited.* The gooseneck is not consistently flexible. This was perhaps the most disappointing element for me. I have other clamp placement options that would make the clamp problem less of an issue if I didn't have a good 4 inches out of every 25 that doesn't have zero flex. That means it's absolutely impossible to jam in tight spaces and make an instant turn. * Camera mounting point is tricky. I love the fact that you can remove the attachment point from your neck so you don't have to try to twist the webcam around its huge cable, and there are plenty of rivets to attach the camera to the mount. Where it gets tricky is to reattach it securely to the gooseneck. The bottom of the mount rotates independently to reattach it to your neck (which is good), but the strength of this part is compromised every time you loosen the wing nut to fine-tune the camera position. Every time I try to adjust the hinge a little, I end up undoing the finer work I have to do screwing the attachment point back in. It's hard to describe, but it's a real disappointment when you need accurate camera position. have similar design issues but might consider designing one of several more versatile devices to suit my own needs. I just don't recommend it if you're in tight spaces and need very fine-grain placement.
