Almost Invisible Middle-Screen Webcam Mount
One of the most difficult aspects of meeting online from home is building trust and rapport with your customers and coworkers, like you would if you were in the room. In Western cultures, the best way to do that is to make and maintain eye contact:
Eye contact is expected in Western culture, it is a basic essential to a social interaction which shows a person’s interest and engagement with your conversation. In Western cultures eyes are considered to show the central point of a person’s focus. So if somebody doesn’t give any eye contact during a conversation, it may be considered insulting. Source: MIT
Unfortunately the default webcam placement, on the top of your monitor/laptop, means that the audience is either looking at the top of your head, if you’re looking at their picture, or your chin/neck if you’re looking up at the webcam.
One of the easiest and cost effective solutions to this problem, is a webcam mount that positions your webcam in the middle of your screen so you can look at the other participants and your webcam at the same time.
The webcam mount takes seconds to set up for a call or to put away afterwards.
It does this without blocking text or pictures on your screen, by being crystal-clear and thinner than your webcam cord, which makes it almost invisible.
Attach your webcam using a 1/4″ tripod screw. Note that the webcam mount is not recommended for DLSR/mirrorless cameras or smartphones.
Use the other side of the tripod screw to attach LED lights or other accessories.
The base of the webcam mount is reinforced with high-tensile steel wire and has been tested to support over 8oz (227g).
The mount has five height settings to find the right eye level for your webcam.
Available in five different colors including the ever-popular clear.
The package includes a plastic clip and 3M silicon tape to provide a firm grip for those with curved or thick monitors. The clip also features semi-circle cutouts to insert your webcam cord into, to keep it out of the way.
Some webcams or webcam cords are too big to fit in the 42mm of space available on the base, in which case we recommend adding a 90-degree USB-C adapter to your order.
Customers with dual-up displays or those using large TV’s as their display, can add a 12″ extender to their order which will allow them to place their webcam 12 to 16″ from the top of their display.
Take your webcam holder on the road with this convenient travel case.
There are many great webcams in the market today, with new one’s coming out each month, so it doesn’t make sense to lock yourself into a dedicated middle-screen webcam solution with inferior video quality, that makes it harder to upgrade in the future.
At only USD$24.95, this is a great investment in your career while Working From Home. Your boss may even let you expense it !!
