I found the adjustable arm incredibly helpful for getting the perfect overhead angle of his dishes. The stand's stability was crucial in ensuring his videos were clear and focused, a significant upgrade from my previous makeshift setups.

Sturdy enough for my YouTube video and other content creating tools. Swivels and bends in many configurations as well as right or left shoots. Don't regret this purchase

This is great for an overhead cam rig but I actually use it to hang my mic from it to keep the mic off my desk. I attach a light to the top as shown in their photos. For a camera, I use a webcam instead that filming straight at me while the mic is overhead. I did end up attaching a flexible phone holding arm to it (sold separately) to film somewhat of an overhead (workspace) view when I feel like it. But I don't usually film overhead anyway. I like this thing. It's great.

Very sturdy. Works great for overhead camera shots for product videos.

Stable, easy to use, plenty of height, mounts firm with pull and relocate handle at table mount, and holds my 5DmkIII with 100mm lens well, although it takes some harsh tightening. Downside is I'd bet money that the way this breaks is the plastic handles, clasps, etc. But, for the price??!! I'll buy another one if this does break. 2 months and no issues.

I've had this now for over a month, it gets the job done mostly. However a smaller clamp would have made for better usage. The clamp sometimes shows in videos due to it's size, the horizontal arm also sags downward slightly. The clamp tightening handle is also to large, it makes this unusable in small spaces.Good- Sturdy main standBad- Clamp is too large- Clamp tightening handle is too large- The horizontal arm sags slightly down without any weight added- The attached phone mount feels cheap and lightweight.

Probably the best webcam stand out there. Very sturdy, adjustable and exactly what you need to put your camera at the right angle and with strong stability.

I bought a different arm and returned it because it was not at all sturdy! Granted, it was half the price. This arm is solid! I needed something to hold a .7lb projector and this arm does the job! I like the adjustable arms! Heavy duty for sure!
