The Logitech Reach is a creative and versatile video camera solution combining the popular Logitech Streamcam with a flexible, articulating arm. It’s designed for in-person as well as distance learning, instruction, and content creation. This versatility allows users to seamlessly transition between a videoconferencing face-to-face view, to views for demonstrations, presentations, and tutorials.
Logitech Reach: Getting Started
The Logitech Reach is compatible with most computer, video conferencing, and streaming platforms. Using the Logitech Reach was a hassle-free experience for me both as a document camera as well as a web or content creation camera. The articulating arm moved smoothly in both the vertical and horizontal axes. I could also rotate the camera itself in order to orientate the image in the direction I required.
The model camera I reviewed is placed on the desktop with its wide footprint and weighted base. An optional desk clamp is available for a more permanent installation.
