Ajustable Tripod with Cellphone Holder, Overhead Phone Mount, Table Top Teaching Online Stand for Live Streaming and Online Video and Food Crafting Demo Drawing Sketching Recording

There is a slight learning curve to get the right height and position. However, once you figure out the height and position and attach your phone, you're off and running. I am not disappointed; it meets my needs.

I use it for my light source when I am streaming. It's very sturdy and I love how I can put the stand behind my laptop or monitor with no problem.

The stand is sturdy built, easy to set up and saves a lot of time scanning photos. I bought this to "scan" a few hundred old photos of different sizes that came from a relatives estate. Using my all-in-one printer/copier would have taken much longer and put lots of wear and tear on the printer. With this stand I simply used my LG smartphone, which is two years old, to take a picture of the picture. I just laid the picture on my desk, using a piece of graph paper, then I could zoom the phone camera so the picture fit the phone screen. My only complaint is the gooseneck arm which holds the phone moves easily so I had to hold the arm with one hand while pressing the button on the phone to take the photo. I also had to play with lighting so as to eliminate shadows on the subject photo but this was also easily done. I set up Microsoft One Drive on my phone so that the pictures went into a folder in One Drive and I can easily edit the pictures on my desktop. This product can also be used for one-page documents. For multi-page docs I would need to use my all-in-one printer. I'm very satisfied with this product.

The arm does not stay tight. You have to constantly tighten it which is really hard when you're trying to decorate cookies.

While a good concept, to be worthwhile the product needs to screw down the ball and joint connector to create a stable, motionless attachment. The base is fine, the upright pole is fine. However, the part that connects the upright to the phone holder with a ball joint has a very small screw that doesn't stabilize the phone well enough. End result, phone droops or moves during attachment. Not every time, and sometimes not immediately, but if you're working on creating videos, that's not something that's acceptable.

Though I've only had this a short time, this small iPhone stand works great for holding my iPhone 11 perfectly. What I like most is that the metal components are much sturdier and well-built than I expected. The adjustable arm has limited range, but I knew that (I tested the unit before I ordered it - my daughter had ordered one prior). Now I can easily record things on my tabletop as I wanted.

The neck isn’t very strong. I would set it up at the angle I wanted but then as soon as I put my phone in the holder it would lean down with the weight of the phone. Also if you lean it too much the whole thing loses balance and falls over. If you adjust the angle of the mount too much the plastic just snaps. I have an iPhone 13 and it was extremely difficult to get my phone to fit. I had to take of the case every time. If you’re in a pinch and just need something cheap then go for it, but I’d really recommend a different type of holder.

I use this to make lots of videos with my phone. I have found that it gets loose easily and a bit wobbly so I’m always having to tighten the base but other than that it works pretty well.
