The gooseneck and clamp are very sturdy, in an overkill way for a typical lightweight webcam. There is also a mounting hole on one of the clamp faces (underneath the silver elastic band). The hole's position is a bit awkward, but I was able to use self-tapping screws to bolt this to the side of an industrial machine, so that a webcam could point at something inside the machine's safe zone. Prior to bolting it down, the clamp held everything quite well. Because it's a gooseneck and not a tripod, there will be some shakiness from vibration, but this is unavoidable.

People complained about this not being flexible enough, but i think the stiffness is great. I use it for a projector, and I like that its harder to bend. It means that whatever weird shape you need, it's not going to flop over and break your electronics. Just don't try and bend it while its clipped to a surface, which is probably why people are saying the clip is flimsy. It is a very substantial clip with a firm grip, but it is still plastic so use your brain. It isn't indestructible or user-error-proof, but great for the price.

It holds my webcam fine. It's sturdy, not too difficult to maneuver, and my webcam doesn't weigh it down. No problems with the clamp, either. The only thing that I didn't like was that it does wobble easy. I have a very heavy desk, but even a slight bump still made this thing shake. Worth that price? Meh. Am I still happy with it? It works well enough.

Keeps it nice and firm and steady where I need it to be. Only real con is the clip. Frequently slides, rubber is not strong enough to grip rounded surfaces too well. Slides about while adjusting. But if you set it up and leave it alone it works great.

It does everything it says it can do but there are two things that bother me. First, as others said, it's not very sturdy and can be difficult to get into position. I have to account for the fact that after I let go it will allow the camera to sag some. Second, the length makes it very bouncy. Other than that, it's good. I like the flexibility it provides and the clip is strong enough to keep it in place (although, I do have to hold it while adjusting it).

So glad to find an independent stand that fits a light ring that I already have without needing to purchase a whole kit. It’s perfect for small desks or areas where a tripod just isn’t convenient. Other reviews mentioned the sturdiness was poor. That’s true if you don’t snake shape it like in the photo. That’s just physics, not the quality of the product which seems pretty sturdy. So order one that is long enough to accommodate a few opposing U bends as this is what creates sturdy flexibility.

They could've made this thing a LOT better, it could've supported the weight of a smartphone -- but they cheaped out on the materials and the construction, and it is very wobbly, even with a light webcam.I will be returning mine, I would much rather spend more money to get a stand that is sturdy and doesn't wobble around and can hold the weight of a modern smartphone like the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

TL;DR: buy this if you want a flexible and sturdy webcam stand that can clamp onto literally any flat sturdy surface. Prevent the shaking that other reviewers complain about by clamping to anything other than your desk.Overall, I love this webcam clamp/stand! It is extremely sturdy yet flexible enough to be moved/molded into any direction. This thing works by clamping onto a surface and then having you mold the webcam mount to your liking. You can easily connect any webcam (I am using a logitech C930e) to the provided mount.Note that unless you have a heavy, reinforced desk (not the case with a lot of people apparently, me included), it will shake the webcam if you move around or start typing. You can completely avoid this by clamping the webcam stand to something else - literally anything - a chair, another table, coffee table, heavy tripod - really anything that has a sturdy flat surface. I personally attach it to a stool that is the height of my desk and mold the webcam stand to the best position.
