NEEWER ST100 Overhead Camera Mount 100cm
Product description
Key features
The NEEWER ST100 overhead camera mount is a steel tabletop rig built for flatlay shooting, cooking demos, craft tutorials and product unboxings. It supports up to 10lb (4.5kg) according to the manufacturer, and lets you position a camera or smartphone directly above the subject for steady top‑down footage. This makes setup straightforward when you need consistent framing and hands‑free operation.

Why it’s worth it
The ST100 is a practical choice when you want a stable overhead solution without complex rigging. The T‑base and nonslip rubberised feet help keep the stand steady on a desk, and anti‑collision corners reduce the chance of accidental knocks during shooting. It is modular by design, so you can add super clamps, magic arms, LED lights or a monitor on the crossbar for improved lighting and monitoring, though those accessories are sold separately.
How to use it
Assembly is quick, simply slot the crossbar into the two side columns and secure the fittings. Use the spring‑loaded pins and M8 screws to set height between 24" and 39". The 1/4" screw mount and lift head allow fine adjustment of camera angle and height, and the 12 mounting points on the crossbar accept additional accessories fixed with the included M6 screws. It’s a clear setup for creators who need repeatable top‑down shots.
Practical notes
It’s a good fit if you want a solid, expandable overhead stand for tabletop use. Bear in mind the phone clamp, super clamps and backdrop are not included, so budget for those extras if you plan to mount lights or a mobile device. The unit’s steel construction favours durability over ultralight portability, which suits a small studio or kitchen environment.
