CROWDFUNDING NEWS – At the beginning of the pandemic when everyone was working from home, webcams were a must-have gadget. It felt like every week, we were being offered a new better improved webcam to review, and we reviewed a LOT of them. Now that the pandemic seems to be behind us, it doesn’t mean that innovations in webcams have stopped. This is immediately evident when you check out the CA Essential Webcam Flex which just launched today on Kickstarter.
What is it?
The CA Essential Webcam Flex is a webcam, but not just any old webcam, this webcam features 3 possible camera positions, dual omnidirectional microphones, no need for a special app, and compatibility with Mac, PC, and Chromebooks.
What do I like about it?
I think that the most interesting thing about the CA Essential Webcam Flex is that it can be used as a regular webcam, but it can also be used as a top-down camera for a table view. This camera position is great for demonstrations. The Webcam Flex also has the option for a center view where the camera is positioned in the center of your monitor. This gives you a more flattering view of your face for Zoom meetings.
Where can I find more info?
The CA Essential Webcam Flex campaign ends on 5/19/23 and they are working towards their funding goal of $15,000. You can pre-order a Webcam Flex starting at $69. After the Webcam Flex campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in July 2023. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.
