NEEWER Overhead Camera Mount for Shooting from Top to Bottom, Steel Tabletop, Multiple Mounting Platform for Flatlay Photography, Light, Cooking, Drawing, Crafts, for Tables ≥1 m Length ST100

Having been using various tripods and other bits of kit with lots of messing around to get the perfect overhead shots i came across this from neewer and decided to try it out.It works great with my Sony ZV-E10 camera even with a smallrig cage attached with mic receiver etc.It comes with a quick release mount for the camera for ease of use this also have a safety lock to prevent any accidents which is a great addition.The unit itself is easy to assemble and very sturdy when put together.Being a desktop unit its easy to move it around. I can also have my camera and everything setup ready to go rather than tripods etc constantly getting in the way so saves me a lot of time.The stand is only height adjustable the width is set and cannot be changed though there is plenty of workspace underneath.There are spare mounting holes should you want to attach lighting or other accessories.Overall for the money paid im very happy with the quality and functionality of the unit i would recommend it to anyone that is looking to create videos with overhead shots with minimal fuss.

The media could not be loaded. I create a lot of content where I need to do overhead shots, but because I work in a small home office, having a tripod reduces my working space. This Neewer overhead mount is ideal as it sits on my table (which is 1m in length) and allows to film ideal overhead shots. The metal build is really good resulting in good stability.If you need to regularly change the height of the mount you'll find that the process is a bit of a pain, but in an effort to be stability and secure, this is the result.The holes on the crossbar will allow you to customise what you have (additionally) on this setup. I've added a small COB light and a camera monitor.Overall, really impressed by this, mainly as I've now got a secure way of mounting my camera to a permanent overhead setup in my studio and I have the piece of mind that the setup is not going to fall (which has happened previously when using a tripod).

There's no doubt that this is study, and does the job.But one critical thing is missing (although, if you look VERY closely at the photos you can see the problem).It isn't possible to mount the camera in the MIDDLE of the cross member. There are 12 holes spread evenly across through which the camera mount is secured - which means that there's isn't one in the middle.It may seem a trivial thing, but for large imaging, the camera cannot be mounted in the centre and is 1.5 inches offset. It won't affect many, but it's worth bearing in mind. Had I known, I may not have bought it.It's also VERY expensive for what it is.

At first, I was worried about potential defects since it was used, but I decided to take the risk due to the price, and I'm glad I did because it's just like new. The quality is very good, but in my personal opinion, the maximum amount it should be if bought new is way too high. However, since I paid less than half for it used, it's definitely worth it. It's really sturdy and made of good metal. I highly recommend it.Fast delivery

Highly recommend for anyone shooting food photography or any sort of flat lay

I did do a DIY overhead camera set up, but I was not to happy with how strong it was until I came across the NEEWER Overhead Camera Mount Rig and I was so please with how strong it was and so easy to put together, and it is a lot better then the one I built, so it is ideal for taken photos of my artwork with a overhead camera and is so well built.

Very sturdy and well made, it is bigger than I expected and would be handy if it came with the phone holder attachment for the price, but happy none the less.

..... as the title says really
