Designed to accommodate screens of any thickness, the mounting system features adjustable clamps and a USB-C connection. Early Bird Pledges are now available starting at around $99 or £89 for this novel project. (according to current exchange rate)offering a significant discount of approximately 20% off the retail price while the Kickstarter crowdfunding is ongoing.
“My name is Stacey Nemo. I have been a video director for most of my career. In video, it is essential to capture non-verbal communication, which draws us mentally and emotionally into the story. However, having a camera above the screen cuts off most visual communication cues. and it looks like you’re making eye contact, but you can’t really see it at all, which makes the whole call feel unnatural: your eyes move from the camera to the person, so you’re focused It’s hard to do, and you end up looking tense and distracted.”
