Is a Tripod Webcam Mount Right for Your Setup?

Give Up Space for Extra Sturdiness.

If you have tried a bunch of webcams in your life, you have probably noticed how the default mounting option tends to suck. If you want to save yourself the annoyance of a wobbly webcam barely hanging on top of your screen — look into dedicated webcam mounts.

There are three main categories of webcam mounts:

• Gooseneck Webcam Mounts
• Webcam Tripods
• Clip-on Webcam Mounts

Here’s a review of one of the most popular tripod webcam mounts. As a note, I don’t get any kick-backs from this!

A desk tripod, but tiny.

This one is one of the smallest desk webcam tripods I’ve tested.

Doesn’t take too much desk space (for a tripod).

Base: the base is solid with a relatively small footprint (for a tripod).

Gets surprisingly tall. There is a spring in the telescopic base which is a nice touch.

Adjustability: the tripod is telescopic and extends quite a bit, main issue here is the minimum height setting; way too high for my own setup since the webcam ends up sitting above my monitor bezel.

Simple and solid attachment mechanism.

Webcam attachment: simple and effective ball joint mechanism with a 1/4'’ screw. Plenty of movement and adjustability.
