On a thinner laptop like the MSI Stealth 15M we tested on, the bulk of the camera itself caused the screen to tilt backward unless we balanced the weight just so - which didn't always make for the best framing.

There's a considerable weight here which, while hinting at the raw power inside, can become a little unwieldy. While the entire body is made out of plastic, there's no mistaking this device for a cheap webcam once it's in the hand. With a blocky rectangular design that spreads further out towards the lens in true movie maker fashion. The Logitech StreamCam certainly sets itself apart on the shelves. While most streaming services favour a horizontal approach, we don't really see this additional functionality being used too often, though. You're also getting plenty of mounting options here, with a unique square shaped design that means you'll be able to shoot both horizontally and vertically as well. That's going to be a problem if your rig doesn't have a spare USB-C port, but if you can make the space for it the extra power is well worth a rewiring exercise. The super-fast 1080p 60fps capture is, however, only made possible by the USB-C connection hardwired directly into the back of the webcam itself.
