Can this webcam stand on a flat table and still be stable and have a good range of angle adjustments, or is it specifically designed for screen mount?

Just tried it on my table top. Gives very wide range of angles (from pointing downwards all the way to beyond vertical). The base is OK on a table top, reasonably stable. The base is not large, however, and it's mostly hard plastic, so it could fall over or slide if you accidentally tug the cable. A bit of blu-tack and/or some self-adhesive rubber bumpers would fix that. Note that if the camera is sitting on a desktop pointing up at people, the angle will be a bit odd...

It can stand on a flat table but it won't be stable (because of it's lite weight and small sizw) i suggest you tape it in with that sticky multiple use glue or any thing of such sort.

I think it is good on an angle, I have had no problems with this TV/Monitor i like it very much!

George,I did that one time.. I placed the screen on a table and set it in a corner so that the sides of the screen were at a 45 degree angle with each side wall and just barely touching to give it stability. I used a sturdy 30 in high table and it worked very well, but I wouldn't recommend it on a regular basis.Jim Bell

Yes and no; it depends on he monitor. The stand articulates in three directions and has a rubber friction material that is really "grippy." The overall design is excellent, but a little hard to describe the engineering. I use the device mainly with my iMac and it mounts on top of the monitor/computer with good stability. The stand also has a standard screw-in port for a tripod and I can see how this would be really useful ... you can buy small-camera tripods (mine is made by Targus and has telescoping legs) for a few dollars thru Amazon or you can go to Wal*Mart or Target. It would also mount very nicely with a Gorilla Pod. Hope tho helps! :-) Yes and no; it depends on he monitor.

I currently have my webcam on top of my BenQ monitor and i put it there because it's the sturdier monitor of the two and it mounted without any issues. It may depend on the webcam you have, but my Logitech C615 works great on it.

This mount will adjust to absolutely any angle you need. If you are in a tight spot, then this is the mount for you.If you need to angle the projector "down" then you need a longer mount...one with a "down rod" preferably...Angling the image downward will cause a distortion, or trapezoid. It can be "corrected" with the keystone function, but that should be a last ditch attempt. You are far better off getting the right mount that will put your projector at the correct height for your screen.

Sir, I have access only to the Webcam c905 and the Webcam Pro 9000 and I can tell you that the Pro 9000 only sits or perches on a monitor. It uses balance and if you are meaning to simply set the camara up and leave it be then the Pro 9000 is not a bad choice. If you are instead going to use this camara for travel or install it somewhere that it may be bumped it is likely that it will fall off. Not horrible, since it can simply just be set back in place, but could be annoying.

This mounts to a pole, it is great for rolling stands, or I suppose if you would have a desk with round legs exactly the right size. Also with the extra pivot arm I would not suggest this for a very large laptop if you ever type on it since out that far it is not the most stable.

Aesthetically it would not look good and be over kill. The Sanus VSF415 Premium Series Full-Motion Mount For 13" - 39" for flat-panel TVs might be a better choice.

Hope this helps, I sit at the desk. I use it primarily for art and so the most important feature for me is the tilt. Adjusting the angle of tilt is very easy. I am on the lowest level when it is flat it's just like a regular desk. So your laptop would be fine. After this level there are two more which would probably do for your stand up desk. It's a good desk for the price. As I said hope it helps.

I've actually found the stand to be quite stable, but I've also used it with the Goldtouch Go! Notebook stand and found that works pretty well too... though since it's meant for a laptop, even adjusted to the highest angle, the screen is angled back a bit more than one might normally use. I don't mind, but others might. There are a number of other stands for tablets and laptops that would probably works as well.

Hello N.I would say the laptop mount would be stable enough.Thank you for your question.Taylor W.VIVO

Not really. I would suggest mounting it if you want to do that. The viewing angle is not bad, but not amazing either. If you are going to watch at an angle I would reconsider. Also note that the stand legs are perpendicular to the screen and take up space.

You can adjust this so that the computer is tilted forward. It has little hooks on it to hold your computer on the table, so it may work for you.

Absolutely. I've found 23 stable settings for it, allowing for fine-tuning of the angle from nearly vertical to nearly flat. (Someone else might figure out more ways of setting it up.)

the mount does not rotate enough to change the direction of the screen. It has about a 8-10 degree swivel for adjustments, but that is the limit. mine is againt the wall, so this may limit the rotaion too. a very well made peice of harware and strong. I have a 70 inch LED on it.

yes it works quite well at an angle. I use mine like many would use a wired remote. Just point it to the front side of the camera and it works perfectly.
