Equipment Review: `Arkon Remarkable Creator Overhead Camera Holder
Teaching or showing the things you love to create online means you really need to know how to shoot great videos.
For any creator that needs to shoot overhead views, the Arkon Mounts Remarkable Creator Clamp Phone or Camera Stand with Ring Light ($140 USD on Amazon) is one option, although at this time, not an option we would recommend.
Specs

Vertical extension 17 to 29 inches
Horizontal extension 12.5 inches
Multiple adjustment points
Camera ball mount phone holder holds all phones
Round pole mount tablet holder from 7 to 18.4 inches wide

Pros
Doesn't use up lots of table space, arm moves out of the way
Comes with both tablet and phone mount and you can use both simultaneously
Rounded clamps allow mounting on a pole
Cons
Adjustment clamps and knobs are hard to tighten
Manufacturer claims you can put your phone or camera at any angle you need, but the adjustable arm droops unless you keep it at a high arc
Ring light doesn't quite fit on an iPhone 13
Summary ✩✩
This device gets two stars. The adjustable arm doesn't allow you to put your phone or camera at any angle without it drooping. However, Arkon Mounts makes another Camera/Clamp Stand that received 5 stars, you can see this review here.
