HumanCentric DSLR Monitor Mount Large, Desk Camera Mounting, Light Webcam, Microphone Shelf for Monitor VESA Arm, Replace Clamp Tripods, 100x100mm Patterns, Aluminum, Hardware Included

For less than the price of a good microphone arm, I got this and an assortment of short articulating arms meant for cameras and related equipment. I now have my webcam and short shotgun microphone mounted above my monitor, AND a very handy USB-powered diffuse red light as a recording indicator.Cables are out of the way, and the whole thing is on a monitor arm. Instead of my webcam being gently resting atop my monitor (with the webcam's included stand), it's now firmly mounted and I can confidently move my monitor arm without concern for expensive equipment falling.One downside is there aren't enough screws included, but they're standard 1/4"-20 thread screws that you can get at any serious camera store or, um, right here. Anyway, you can probably find better screws or more conveniently sized thumb screws than what's included.Another downside is there are no 1/4"-20 *nuts* (or thumb wheels) included at all. Some devices you'll want to mount may have a screw, not a threaded hole, so you'll need a nut. Anyway, these are also easily obtained.I could've rated this lower for those 2 downsides, but honestly I'm so happy I randomly found this product that so perfectly fit my needs, and those minor issues were easily (and cheaply) remedied.After finding this, I looked for similar products just to get a sense of what was out there, but this was the only one of this size (I have the larger one) which was a single piece of metal. Others were 2 pieces welded or screwed or riveted together, which would be a point of failure or of loosening. No thanks, this one was the best.

The media could not be loaded. Soooo happy I got this! After looking at some reviews I was skeptical about it working on my curved 27” monitor with a deep recessed back and what spacers it came with, and it’s perfect! Highly recommend getting this product!

I don't have a DSLR but I stream with a gopro and none of the mounts are solid and constantly have to re-adjust. With this and a solid ball joint now my camera is unmovable. Unfortuantly they were out of the large shelf but really I could buy a $1 strip of metal from the hardware store and add that to this if I needed.It was a little figity to instal. My versa mount is sunk into my monitor a little bit so it needed spacers and luckily it comes with some plastic ones and washers made out of the same tube, they could have had pan heads and not needed the plastic washers but eh. I installed it backwards, so the shelf is over the monitor, because a gopro doesn't have a long lens so it needed to be out further. The spacer pushed it back so it doesn't actually overhang that much. So if you use a gopro you need to install everything that holds it before installing it. I had it set up the normal way but to clear my monitor it had to be quite high and I didn't like it. This keeps my gopro pretty close to the top. The ball mount raised it a little but it still worked out great. If you have a DSLR with a long lens this won't be a problem.Really this is a really good idea, so good monitor companies should make their own shelves. If this is where you want a camera then this is much much better than the flimsy mounts that rest on top of the monitor and saves up space having a tripod behind your monitor. Plus I can move my monitor and not need to worry about my camera tripod getting knocked over.If you can I'd wait for the longer one to get back in stock, this one can be made to have the same functionality but it would look neater just having the large one.

The HumanCentric DSLR Monitor Mount proved to be a handy solution for mounting my Sony ZV-1 webcam. Its sturdy construction provided a reliable and secure hold for my camera. However, it falls short when it comes to positioning flexibility.While the mount served its purpose well, allowing me to attach my Sony ZV-1 webcam easily, I found its range of adjustable positions somewhat limited. The mount has fixed positions and doesn't offer much room for adjustments or different viewing angles. This restriction can be a downside if you require more flexibility in positioning your camera.To overcome this limitation, I supplemented the mount with a pivoting gimbal screw mount. This additional accessory allowed me to achieve a greater range of camera positions, giving me the versatility I needed for various recording setups. I achieved better camera angles for streaming and zoom calls with the combined HumanCentric DSLR Monitor Mount and the pivoting gimbal screw mount.Overall, the HumanCentric DSLR Monitor Mount is reliable for mounting the Sony ZV-1 webcam. While it may lack the desired flexibility in positioning, it can still serve its purpose effectively. Consider supplementing it with a pivoting gimbal screw mount or similar accessory to unlock a wider range of camera positions. With this combination, you can enhance your recording setup and achieve the desired angles for your content creation needs.
