SMALLRIG CLAMP FOR VIDEO CAMERAS

I’m starting to do more videos reviews of products and needed to find a way to do better top down videos. This was my previous setup:

I had a tripod connected to an extension arm and the YI 4K+ camera attached to the end. This is the camera that I have:

It worked out OK, but it did take up a bit of room. Using this setup meant I wasn’t able to sit down in front of the camera but I instead I had to stand up and do the video reviews that way.

I came across the the SmallRig clamp with a 1/4″ screw ball when I noticed it on sale. Here’s how the SmallRig looks like:
