There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The flex mount works well for my monitor and her laptop. The lead is slightly shorter than my old webcam but is still long enough.
The cord is sufficiently long and the whole arm is adjustable, so you can place it on the top of your laptop or sitting flat on your desk. The head of the web cam even moves side to side so its easy to adjust to any angle.
Overall, extremely happy with my purchase!
This camera isn't as good in low light, the picture is slightly blurrier and it has an exceptionally wide angle view. The latter isn't a complaint, it's a personal preference. When I am on a video conference, I like to be the center of attention and not have to compete with everything else in the room.
It is not a bad webcam; it's just that there are better ones out there for the same price.
