If you film head-to-camera with a shotgun microphone this is going to be perfect. If you need to show a tabletop overhead view, this mount will need a few extra accessories to make it work.
First of all, this mount is heavy, so it's VERY sturdy and will hold devices that have some weight. It has three arms that adjust up and down on a vertical pole that clamps to a tabletop (up to 50mm, almost 2 inches). Each of the three arms has a different type of attachment: 1/4" swivel ball mount, spigot with 1/4" mount, hole for spring swing arm with microphone attachment. Two of the arms are comprised of multiple bars that can swivel, and one arm is spring-loaded for adjusting to more angles. The arms can extend pretty far horizontally over your workspace and swing easily out of your way when not in use.
If you need a lot of different devices on one holder, this desk mount is great. But if you need more adjustability, either for different types of device mounts or to adjust your devices at an angle, you'll need to buy additional attachments or other equipment.

Pros
- Sturdy
- Can hold three devices, 1/4" swivel ball mount, spigot with 1/4" mount, hole for spring swing arm with microphone attachment
- Can attach another 1/4" mount device on top of pole
- Arms can be rearranged
- Doesn't use up lots of table space, arms swing easily out of the way
- Perfect for head-to-camera with a microphone filming
Cons
- None of the arms can bend at an angle, just out and up/down
- Spring swing arm has microphone attachment instead of phone attachment
- Will need to purchase additional mounting adapters if you need to film a tabletop overhead view
- Table clamp mounts are not the best if you have a wiggly table, the camera will jiggle. They are fine if you have a sturdy table or if you don't bump your table as you film.
