The Ergotron Difference

Out of the box, the mount is remarkably compact, without feeling insubstantial. The general impression is of a bottle opener you'd find in the kitchen of Jonathan Ive's guesthouse. Yeshmukhametov, A., Koganezawa, K., Seidakhmet, A., Yamamoto, Y.: A novel passive pretension mechanism for wire-driven discrete continuum manipulators. In: 2020 IEEE/SICE International Symposium on System Integration (SII), pp. 1168–1173. Honolulu, HI, USA (2020) Here’s this flexible arm being used with a 16-inch Macbook Pro and an iMac. When used with a laptop, you can get a better angle than the built-in webcam, which is always going to be under your face, rather than parallel to it. The Pixapro Heavy Duty Flexi-Arm features a male 5/8inch stud with a standard 1/4inch thread at one end, and a Female 5/8inch stud receiver at the other end. This configuration enables you to mount a small light or accessory on one end, and the other end can be mounted to a light stand or clamps such as a combi-clamp or a male C-Clamp etc.

Hulin, A., Souchet, S., Fromont, C.: Usage and benefits of robotics in logistics and warehousing activities. Int. J. Prod. Res. 56(10), 3648–3668 (2018) Dust and fume extraction arms for welding and fabrication processes tend to be articulated and have a greater range of motion, with integrated dampers allowing for greater control of airflow. You can read more about our welding fume and smoke extraction arms here On both laptops, it was simple to line up the camera lens with the centre of the screen, a big advantage over the side-mounting solutions for maintaining a good eyeline. Still, since it works only on MacBooks, it would be impossible for all but the shortest users to avoid capturing video from an unattractive low angle (this was slightly better when the phone is mounted in portrait, since the camera lens was higher). Be compact. When you’re not using your phone as a webcam, you probably don’t want a hulking great piece of plastic cluttering up your desktop.

A flexible arm has aspects of both a tripod and a car mount. You can attach it to your screen, your desk or any other object that can be clamped (such as a monitor stand or plant pot). It takes up no desk space, unlike a tripod, and can keep your desk clutter-free if attached behind your laptop or monitor. Flexible arms also offer a little more flexibility than a screen mount, as you can move the arm up and down, side to side to find the perfect position. You can even bend the arm round a corner if you need to. I tried using a gimbal as a webcam, but it was a pretty impractical choice. The height of the gimbal isn’t adjustable, so you’ll either end up with your camera too high, or too low for your screen (as the image above shows, this works a little better with a laptop than a desktop, but neither is ideal). Yes, your gimbal will keep your phone stabilised while it’s being held, but, provided you're not moving your webcam around while you're talking, there really isn’t any benefit to this feature for webcam purposes. Additionally, the gimbal I used periodically turned itself off, causing the phone to drop down, and inserting an iPhone XS Max into the gimbal kept triggering SOS calls. You’d also need to keep your gimbal charged in advance of your calls.
