Tarion Desk Mount Camera Stand review: a decidedly angular affair that offers a full range of movement

Tarion Desk Mount Camera Stand.

Registered in Hong Kong, Tarion makes a wide range of photographic kit including bags and backpacks, lighting, tripods and other supports, straps, wraps and other accessories. The Tarion Desk Mount Camera Stand bucks the trend set by most competing products that have a center pole and possibly an auxiliary arm or two. Instead, it reminds more of the Anglepoise lamp that I had when I was a kid. It has three main poles that connect together end to end, and can be rotated to pretty much any angle, sitting on a clamp that mounts to a desk or tabletop. The advantage is that you can use the stand in all sorts of positions and heights, making it ideal for shooting subjects laid flat on a table as well as for the more usual business of presenting to camera for vlogging and videoconferencing. Some of the best camera desk mounts add versatility by including one or two auxiliary arms, lacking in this case, and you could also consider one of the best tabletop tripods or even one of the best budget tripods.

When folded down and viewed from the side, the Tarion has a fairly flat profile despite its three pole sections. (Image credit: Matthew Richards)
