For those that do, there has been a rise in devices using USB-C connections which means you may have to invest in an adapter or ensure your other devices won’t be fighting for the same connection. Not only is the cable wired into the back of the StreamCam, unlike other products that have removable options for flexibility), but not every device has a USB-C port. The device uses a USB-C connection which could also cause a few issues. The camera mount only allows for up-and-down or swivel adjustment, so you’re limited with the angled positioning of the device itself, something that could have been improved with a 'ball joint'-style mount. The tripod mount compatibility also means the StreamCam will work on larger, standard-sized tripods too, should you need something with a little more clearance. There are also two different styles of mount to choose from, the standard ‘grip’ that stiffly flips out to rest onto the display of a monitor or laptop screen, or a diminutive desktop tripod. Outside of apps like Snapchat or TikTok, most video platforms are horizontally optimized so it’s hard to understand why it was included at all. That doesn’t mean the vertical recording capability is actually a good feature though, given how little it will likely be used.
Grooves are located across the sides of the camera to clip into a ‘U’-shaped casing which allows you to rotate the device quickly if you’re in a situation that needs a swift alteration.
The design isn’t just a style choice though - the webcam can be mounted either horizontally or vertically, with the latter mimicking the appearance of most forward-facing mobile phone cameras. The Logitech StreamCam has a uniquely cubic design that isn’t seen in any popular rival products, making it immediately distinguishable among the competition.
