There are two sensible places to put a webcam that is not sitting on top of a laptop: clipped to the monitor, or held on an arm that reaches over from the side or behind. They suit different desks and different reasons for wanting the camera moved in the first place.
Clips win on stability, arms win on framing
A monitor clip puts the camera in the one place where eye contact reads naturally and it will not drift. An arm lets you put the camera anywhere – lower for a document view, off to one side for a second angle, closer for detail work – and pays for that with a joint that can creep under load.
Weight decides how long an arm can be
A long gooseneck holding a heavy camera will sag over an afternoon regardless of how well it is made. If the camera is more than a few hundred grams, either shorten the arm or move to a clamp base with a proper ball head. This is the single most common reason people replace an arm.
Check the thread before you buy
Most webcams and small cameras use a quarter-inch thread; some studio hardware uses three-eighths. Mounts often ship with an adapter but not always, and a mount that arrives without one is useless until it does. The product page should say; if it does not, ask.

What it costs
Across webcam stands and mounts at Camera Haven prices currently run from $19.99 to $28.72. In webcam stands and mounts that spread is mostly build quality and pack size rather than brand name: the cheapest option on this shelf is a reasonable place to start, and the dearest earns the difference in daily use rather than on the specification sheet.

Side by side
The table below pulls the published figures off the 6 webcam stands and mounts listings above so they can be compared without opening six tabs. A dash means the manufacturer of that webcam stands and mount did not state the figure, not that the item lacks it, because Camera Haven does not fill those gaps with estimates. Where a number matters to your decision and the table shows a dash, call +1 212-633-2290 and we will measure the item at the 150 Sullivan St counter in about a minute.

How the rest of the shop is laid out
Camera Haven keeps a deliberately narrow webcam privacy covers and desk mounts range, split into the sections below. The counts and price bands are read from the live camerahaven.shop catalogue at the moment this page was built, so they show the actual shape of the Red Hook shelf rather than a marketing summary of it. If a section looks small, that is because Camera Haven would rather stock a few things we can answer questions about than list everything a distributor offers.
| Section | Items | Price range |
|---|---|---|
| Streaming and Lighting | 2 | $16.20 – $89.99 |
| Webcam Covers | 11 | $3.48 – $9.95 |
| Webcam Stands and Mounts | 12 | $14.99 – $28.72 |
Reading a product page here
Every listing on camerahaven.shop is written from the manufacturer specification, and where the manufacturer is silent Camera Haven leaves the field out rather than fill the gap, which is why some webcam privacy covers and desk mounts pages are shorter than others. The details block on each page carries the figures that were actually published — pack quantity, size, material and compatibility — and the paragraph underneath says which part of the Red Hook shelf the item belongs to. Anything not covered there is a question for +1 212-633-2290, and Camera Haven would rather answer it before an order than process a return afterwards. Stock counts come from the same records the counter uses, so an item showing as available is an item on the shelf at 150 Sullivan St.
