Overhead Camera Mount Desk Stand, 3-Section Flexible Detachable Articulating Arm with 1/4“ 3/8" 5/8" Screw&360° Ball Head, C-clamp Tabletop Mount for DSLR Camera/Webcam/Microphone/Lights

As someone who has bought a lot of various types of desk arms, this one stands out. It's really solid, especially for the price point. The red knob allows you to spin the connection screw, so you don't have to rotate your camera / teleprompter, etc around, which is always a giant PITA. It's locking mechanism is mechanical notches, so once it's locked, it won't slip at all, in comparison to other arms, that are just squeezing a ball, relying on friction, and will slip.Well thought out design and great for the price point.

This adjustable arm mount works nearly perfectly for my DSLR camera. You have some flexibility because you can choose how many sections of it to install. Also, the rotating ball head makes it adjustable even more so you can fine-tune the placement of the camera and the angle, etc. I use my DSLR as a webcam so I needed to position it precisely above my monitor, and it's working well for that! The only thing I've noticed is that the camera sagged a little when I came back to it after a few days, so I had to make a small adjustment. This isn't a huge issue but you may need to tighten the knobs harder (not too hard) to get it to stay for longer. Overall, this product looks good/professional and functions as expected, so I give it a 5 star rating!

Likes:-easy installation-joints are very solid once locked in-can be built in sections-includes phone and ball mount-rotatable base-very lightweightDislikes-very wobbly under weight-included ball mount is cheap/weak-joints do not allow full articulation (somewhat mitigated by rotation and ball mount)Overall, for the price, it's a great mount. Most of the issues aren't going to be a problem for the majority of users. For a phone, or light camera, this mount is unbeatable.I tested the mount using a frontheavy Canon 90D dslr camera with a Sigma 18-35mm lens. As pictured, the whole setup weighs about 3.5lbs. While it does an admiral job of holding up my camera, it does appear quite wobbly, with slight desk movement. I have a very hard time believing it would be stable at 6 lbs as stated in the advertisement. The ball mount exacerbates the issue, barely able to hold my camera up at maximum torque, even at a relatively shallow angle. I seriously doubt the ball mount would work at a 90° angle for perpendicular shots. Luckily, you do NOT need to use the ball end to mount a camera to this stand. All 3 sections attach using a standard 1/4-20 UNC tripod connection, meaning you can disassemble and attach your camera to each section as you wish.With that said, it does appear to hold, even with the disappointing ball mount. The joints appear to have large, grippy internal teeth to ensure the mount does not lose integrity over time, although the initial sag from adding weight to the end is very apparent and must be compensated for during adjustments, which is a minor hassle, and cheapens the overall feel of the device.While there are some engineering problems that could be addressed, I am not unhappy with my purchase. If you already have a ball mount, or ideally an old, light tripod head, I recommend using it with this stand. If your device is 4lbs or less, I don't fosee any issues, however, above 5lbs I would be prepared for disappointment.

Stability:Better ten othersVersatility:Very good use in digital dentistry

This product is very versatile for any streamer looking to use this to mount a camera. I'm very impressed with how it looks and how I can maneuver it.

It's surprisingly durable! I would recommend for any light DSLR or smaller camera, phone etc. Wouldn't recommend for heavier cameras. The build quality is great. The desk mount is very heavy duty. The housing of each arm is metal and the adjustment points are plastic. The locking of the adjustments is surprisingly strong! I did test with a heavier camera (large DSLR with Larger lense) it held but didn't feel sturdy. I could feel it putting wear on it. Overall great for use 5lbs or under.

It cost a little more than others, but it is worth it. I won’t have to keep trying to find the right one. THIS IS IT! It attaches securely to my desk, which has a larger width overhang than many desks, and its multiple angled pieces mean I can configure my camera or phone to the optimum setting for what I need. I’m glad I looked at a kazillion reviews and picked the right one!

Held up my hefty Canon 70D with 50mm lens and light attached. Also holds up (a less hefty) Canon R10 with lens adapter, lens and light. I will say that the included ball head doesn't seem particularly strong, so I'd probably get a heavy duty one if you need to use a ball head. In my case, the stand leans ever-so-slightly to one side, but it's not anything I can't fix in post. Very easy to put together, and I'm satisfied with the quality at this price point. Gets the job done!
