A little digression from me, I reviewed about half a dozen different webcams, including the new one from Opal and Apple's Continuity Camera with an iPhone (probably go with that one!). I've been moderately fixated on webcams for years, so you should go check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggyeYOMFa-E
@anildash great webcam comparison, thank you! Which mount did you use for the continuity camera setup!?
@exkclamation oh I had a poorly-rigged selfie tripod for that, it’s not a setup I usually use. I think the MagSafe mounts that sit on a monitor seem cool.
@anildash @exkclamation i'm using the Shawe Gooseneck mount with my Pixel 7A (it works great with my iPhone SE 2020 too) as recommended by the Camo Cam folks: https://reincubate.com/support/how-to/iphone-webcam-mount-guide/#flexible-arms https://www.amazon.com/SHAWE-Phone-Holder-Gooseneck-Mount/dp/B083BRX7D6/ #YMMV I find though although it works great that it's finicky to mount and unmount and will probably buy a dedicated 4K web cam in 2024. Camo Cam works great regardless on macOS (and I assume Windows but I never used it on Windows!).
@anildash @exkclamation oh and i second the emotion :-) that macOS continuity camera works great as well! and perhaps for a lot of people a magnetic mount for their iPhone would work but i use my phone too much and i think it would be too finicky as well! dedicated web cams just work, no futzing around with mounts #ymmv , not everybody can afford a current web cam, etc etc
