Yes. The mount/base has 3 moving arms attached to a common axle, looking a bit like a door hinge with a door stop. The camera attaches to the shorter arm that provides left-to-right (horizontal) panning. The part that acts as a hook for the monitor and the part that stabilizes the assembly when hanging on a monitor can be positioned to become the front and back of a desk base, the part the camera is attached to can be swiveled up and down for vertical positioning. The base/mount is a fairly versatile contraption. The hinge is stiff enough to keep the parts in place, but not so tight as to make it hard to move, and there's a screw on one side to adjust the stiffness. If you have a "borderless" monitor (one of mine has a very thin bezel), the "hook" end tends to rest in front of the screen if you're not careful. I have solved this by using some scrap foam I had laying around between the hook and the top of the monitor, raising the mount enough to keep it higher than the display. Note that it does not have an "on air" LED to indicate that it's in use, so if you get this camera, be sure to put the provided cover on the front when you're not using it. It seems to be a decent camera with a good microphone; I'm happy with it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Its meant to be used on a monitor. However, you could place it on a desktop but you may not be able to angle it enough upwards.
