Which one would you suggest to use when doing zoom / teams calls on a laptop and youd rather use the camera on an iphone?

In for a Podzilla. I already have several Joby tripods, but at these prices, it's hard to pass up.

I basically bought the vlogging kit for the Beamo Mini COB.

Missed the $13 flash deal and the next closest product sold anywhere is a Ulanzi RGB cob that costs $30.

The RGB cob does colors but shouldn't be as bright as the Joby. The Joby is really small and bright at the cost of not able to change colors.

Do you need a tripod or do you need lighting assistance?

OP left it out for some reason but it's definitely the JOBY studio creator (also on sale). https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/pr...kit.htmlIt

It features both a ring light type device and a tripod/monopod.

The Joby podzilla and gorillapod are more for traveling. The ring light is better for at home being more stable and able to adjust higher and is much brighter.

One of the best was the Gorillapod GripTight Pro GP with panning and tilting fluid head. Not sure why they discontinue models like that in favor of some of these. It seems like some are gimmicks, not actually for a specific use case.

What would you suggest for zoom / teams calls where you want a better camera for people looking at me?

MSRP $120? Really?

The MSRP is BS and the products go on sale often but at the same time only B&H (that I could find) carries a lot of Joby products and they do jack up the prices a lot between sales.

With regard to how believable the MSRP is, I've bought JOBY and other B&H products and they are a noticeable tier or tier and a half better than the no name products I find on Amazon, Aliexpress, Temu, etc.

For example, the Podzilla ball and socket joint is very fluid and locks effortlessly and the phone mount positions smoothly with magnets.

Overall, don't treat it as a super amazing deal but it really beats the no name Chinese stuff (even if they have more modern features) so at the same price and if you are in the market I would buy from B&H.

I have really poor experiences with Joby battery operated products. The light died within the first week, I've bought their mic for 30 dollars in November and it also had a faulty battery - charging successfully but discharging immediately after I remove it from charging.

It may be bad luck, but 2 out of 2 products seems suspicious, all ordered from bh photo video.
