NEEWER Overhead Camera Stand Desk Mount Rig with 4 Boom Arms for Photography Video Light Ring Light Mount Webcam Mic Compact DSLR for Live Streaming Broadcast Online Teaching Meeting, DS007

I recently integrated the NEEWER ST008 Overhead Camera Desk Mount into my setup, and it's been a fantastic addition. The assembly was straightforward, and the mount feels sturdy and well-constructed. Its adjustable arms and height flexibility have made it ideal for various applications, from top-down photography to live streaming.The clamp secures firmly to the desk, providing stability without taking up excessive space. I've found it particularly useful for capturing overhead shots without the need for bulky tripods. Overall, it's a practical and efficient solution for enhancing my content creation workflow.

Ideal for use in a tiny home "youtube" studio.Very, very sturdy and solid construction. This is definitely not your usual low grade quality. It is rock solid!I am already considering buying a second one of these even though my home "studio" is less than 2 metres square.It would be nice if the VESA mount could be swapped out for another ball/light mount and it would be nice if additional arms were available separately.However, it is what it is. It's solid, stable and very flexible.A very well designed and engineered product.

NEEWER are gaining themselves a good reputation in this market sector. I have several of their products including tripods, filters and mounts. They've all been of good quality and so far all of them have lasted well. This desk stand is no different it seems.I think it lends itself better to a static setup, which is fine for studio use or if you're a live streamer. We use some software scanning lots and lots of documents very quickly. The software is intelligent and crops and catalogues the images. It benefits from diffused lighting to make the scans more uniform and this desk stand makes that really easy. Set the main stand up correctly and tighten everything down and you now have yourself a mini studio. The fact that the arms are held securely with hex keys means there is no movement at all. Some desk mounts use friction clamps which can work themselves loose, not with this one.The build quality is impressive and sturdy. It easily held our lighting and mobile scanning device without any vibration or movement. The clamp that attached to the desk itself was rubberised on each face to give a better grip and prevent damage to the desk surface. The inclusion of cable clips was a nice idea because it keeps everything clean and frees your photographic shot was shadows and intrusions into the frame. It's quite customisable too offering a lot of angles and widths for attached devices.Very capable throughout.

I was very pleasantly surprised at both the quality of construction and design: the tubes, hinges/pivots and tighteners are all solid and comfortable to use, and everything stays where it is positioned despite having e.g. the camera and a pan/tilt head at the end of the arm. The handle for the desk clamp tightener has a built-in clutch of sorts, so the handle can be rotated freely and then re-engaged when fixing in a restricted space such as against a wall, or near a desk leg, which makes the difference between frustration and delight.The free arm attachments have rubberised internal faces which ensure both a solid grip and lack of scratching.My one, tiny, regret is that the "resolution" of the internal grooves that help lock the arms into place isn't as fine as I would like. It's not as though it's only limited to very coarse angles, but a little more flexibility in angle would be nice. (ngle increments seem to be 10 degrees... nine steps per quarter circle)That said, anything Neewer want to throw at me for review, I would be delighted to! (I've also bought their GL1 Pro lights, and a phone mount)No stars for "camera quality" or "sound quality" because, duh!, they're not part of the kit!

I am new to creating content and this is spot on for me as it allows me to film overhead time lapse videos. Easy to setup and adjust as needed whilst giving me easy access to my laptop, light and camera, I already had a magnifying light which fits where the microphone boom arm goes.
