    I bought 2 of these as I scrambled to get ready for distance teaching. The legs are not stable. The clip wobbles a bit. It got the job done, but it was not what I expected. I would buy this again.

    Vertical swivel cannot be fixed, so the camera needs to be supported by hand, which is useless.
