overhead tripod camera

Most overhead camera supports use ball heads or 3-way panheads and offer action mounts or 1/4"-20 quick-release plate mounts.

Desktop overhead brackets are specified with a load capacity of 3 kg (6.6 lb).

Desktop overhead brackets typically extend about 16.5–27 inches, while monopods extend roughly 21.37–63.58 inches.

Common materials include aluminum alloy, stainless steel, plastic, and hardened steel.

Attachments use a standard 1/4"-20 screw thread (used on the ball head and quick-release plate).

The desktop clamp is specified to grip tabletops up to 7 cm (2.8 in) thick.

Desktop supports include cable-management features such as supplied cable ties; one package lists ten cable ties for organizing wires.
