A good camera mount for your computer.

Great mount, exactly what I was looking for.

Can’t see the screen to record my video. Contacted owner who suggested I buy a different camera. What???? [Lucky Duck Tech response] Bob said that “The product is transparent but it places my webcam over my screen and I am unable to see the words on my screen when I try and use a teleprompter.” Unfortunately we only have control on how clear and thin our webcam mount is and unfortunately we can’t make your webcam transparant as well! We gave Bob suggestions on where to place his webcam on the screen (1/3rd of the way down) and a list of webcams recommended by other customers, in case he was open to a smaller one. The largest (in terms of area) takes up 3.5x more screen real-estate than the smallest, so there is a big difference in webcams on the market.

I received my webcam mount today. It works perfectly. Exactly what I was looking for. I can now look at my screen to see notes, etc. while maintaining eye contact with my clients. Love it! Thank you.

Buy it! If you’re looking for a webcam mount that’ll allow more natural eye contact on video calls, let me save you time and tell you this is the best offering out there for that. I’ve been searching periodically for a couple of years and even made my own which was functional but it wasn’t as effortless to remove and put it back on your monitor. I really appreciated three different clip options. I switch things up in my office every so often and this ensures that I will be able to keep using this whatever setup/monitor I end up changing to. Currently I have two monitors vertically stacked (side note: game changer) pretty tightly and the clip fits right in between while still being easy to take it on and off. It’s pretty impressive how well this stays on such tricky surface even with mid-call angle adjustments!

I bought this product (about $30) and the PlexiCam Road Warrior Pro V2 ($135). They do about the same thing – achieving “eye contact” with the video camera by hooking a see-through plastic device over your monitor.

The Lucky Duck is much cheaper but more wobbly. Another downside is that you can’t move the camera up and down the sliding vertical plastic stem without unscrewing the camera from the plastic. On the plus side, the plastic stem is super-skinny (thinner than a beverage straw), so it doesn’t block much of your monitor.

With the Road Warrior, you can slide the camera up and down even while you’re on camera. Both devices slide left and right without unscrewing anything. But the Lucky Duck is much more tenuous (and can fall over if you don’t touch it with kid gloves). While the vertical plastic stem on the Road Warrior is much more stable, it covers a fair amount of monitor real estate. While it’s see-through, it’s still a little in the way.

Is it worth paying almost $100 more for a more stable camera holder? The jury is out. I will try both and decide before the return windows.

Are there better solutions than either of these clunky but otherwise smart products? I haven’t found any? Ideally, there would a large monitor with a video camera built into the middle of it to simulate eye contact. That’s on my wish list!

[Lucky Duck Tech response] Thank you for the valuable feedback! When your monitor moves or vibrates during a call, the mount moves/wobbles with it. If your desk and monitor is stable and don’t shake, the mount will not move either. To fix it, we have developed three Clips for small, large (>1″ thick) and curved monitors that grip your monitor much better. Having said that, we do not recommend using this webcam mount on adjustable standing desks as some of them are very unstable when fully extended.
