The 10 Best Live Stream Stands

The Baipak Zomei (appx. $90) comes with either an 18- or 14-inch light ring with an orange filter that you can use to change the color temperature. It is a truly versatile option that will work with almost any smartphone or DSLR camera.

The UBeesize Three-Light (around $13) quickly clamps onto any table, desk, or counter that is less than 2.36 inches thick. It features two flexible goosenecks — one with an illumination ring attached to it, and one with a durable rubber padding to hold a phone.

The BMK BlueMickey Social Influencer (about $32) has three gooseneck arms to hold a light, a cell phone, and a microphone, so it is the only piece of equipment you need for high-quality recordings. Rather than clamp onto tables, it has a wide base that keeps it stable.

The WongPing 5.7-Inch (about $35) can be arranged into a couple of different forms. You can either set it up with the light ring above the phone or to the side of it for versatile illumination effects. It comes with a height-adjustable table-top tripod.

The AUMVS Universal (about $24) is a good choice for those who like to record themselves singing. It comes with a very effective pop filter, so you can really belt out those tunes without worrying about explosive Ps or Bs creating unwanted noises.

The Neewer Style IV (appx. $15) has a very small footprint that makes it useful for those who don't have a lot of room on their desks. Its phone mount is attached to a gooseneck, so you can easily set it up for broadcasting from any viewing angle.

The Trumagine 24W (about $49) features 120 individual LEDs that brightly illuminate anything you point it at. Designed to sit inside its light ring is a small mirror that makes it very useful for those who broadcast videos about makeup application.

If you don't want to have to worry about a clamp not being large enough to securely attach to your table or counter, then the self-standing MeeQee RL629 (around $24) is for you. It features a wide metal base that provides stability without limiting your placement options.

The Benks Lazy (about $25) is an extremely sturdy model that features two 14-inch long scissor arms, a design that makes it more vibration resistant than others. It rotates 360 degrees at the base connection point, and the device holder can swivel 720 degrees.

The AceTaken Articulating Arm (about $20) has extremely stiff joints, which is a bit of a double-edged sword. It will always keep your phone exactly where you place it without you having to worry about it dropping, but it also makes it hard to reposition with just one hand.
