Manfrotto Flexible Arm

Product Information

On both laptops, it was simple to line up the camera lens with the centre of the screen, a big advantage over the side-mounting solutions for maintaining a good eyeline. Still, since it works only on MacBooks, it would be impossible for all but the shortest users to avoid capturing video from an unattractive low angle (this was slightly better when the phone is mounted in portrait, since the camera lens was higher). The rear boom extension gives the extraction arm a 270-degree pivot, significantly improving the working radius.

The Pixapro Heavy Duty Flexi-Arm features a male 5/8inch stud with a standard 1/4inch thread at one end, and a Female 5/8inch stud receiver at the other end. This configuration enables you to mount a small light or accessory on one end, and the other end can be mounted to a light stand or clamps such as a combi-clamp or a male C-Clamp etc. Dust and fume extraction arms for welding and fabrication processes tend to be articulated and have a greater range of motion, with integrated dampers allowing for greater control of airflow. You can read more about our welding fume and smoke extraction arms here Both of these options might work a little better on a laptop, but there’s no getting around the unflattering angle.

VESA Mounts

What Industries Could Benefit From Using An LEV Extraction Arm? Safely remove dust & fume contaminates Knight, G., Piotrowski, T., Shuford, J.: The role of robotics in manufacturing. Indust. Robot Int. J. 44(2), 155–163 (2017) Be compact. When you’re not using your phone as a webcam, you probably don’t want a hulking great piece of plastic cluttering up your desktop. A flexible arm has aspects of both a tripod and a car mount. You can attach it to your screen, your desk or any other object that can be clamped (such as a monitor stand or plant pot). It takes up no desk space, unlike a tripod, and can keep your desk clutter-free if attached behind your laptop or monitor. Flexible arms also offer a little more flexibility than a screen mount, as you can move the arm up and down, side to side to find the perfect position. You can even bend the arm round a corner if you need to.

In: 2012 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology, pp. 852–857. Athens, Greece (2012) We offer comprehensive local exhaust ventilation (LEV) systems for a spectrum of working processes including vehicle fumes, welding dust and grinding. We can also provide solutions that are tailored to meet your specific needs in Vehicle Emissions Control Area's body shops or Laboratories where there is a potential exposure risk from harmful material emissions! Raising your laptop as shown above is also about practicality - it keeps the screen of your laptop as close to vertical as possible, something I found to be fairly important when using all of the mounts in this category. As you’d expect from hanging something as substantial as an iPhone to the top or side of your MacBook screen, the centre of gravity shifts quite dramatically as the screen moves away from perpendicular.Any mount that attaches directly to your monitor will let you get your phone webcam close to where the built in webcam is, providing a good angle for your calls. The main variable with these types of mounts is how they attach to your computer and your phone.
