Bonelk Flexible Neck USB Webcam — 1080p
$63.63 ex GST
($69.99 inc GST)
A 1080p webcam on a flexible gooseneck that stands on a desk. The neck is the point — it lets you aim the camera at a desk, a book, a science demonstration or a model, which a screen-mounted camera physically cannot do.
What it does:
1080p video over USB
Adjustable flexible neck on a weighted desktop base
Built-in microphone
Plug and play — no drivers or software
Where it earns its place:
A low-cost visualiser for showing worked examples and texts
Science demonstrations recorded or streamed to a display
Stop-motion animation and maker documentation
Video calls where the standard angle doesn't work
Worth comparing with a proper document camera if visualising is the main use — a HoverCam gives better optics and focus control. This is the option when budget matters more than image quality, or when the camera has to do both jobs.

Twelve South HoverBar Duo — Adjustable iPad Arm
$127.26 ex GST
($139.99 inc GST)
An adjustable arm that holds an iPad wherever you need it — over a desk, beside a monitor, or angled down at a workbench. The arm is the point: a normal stand puts a tablet in one position, this puts it anywhere.
What it does:
Weighted base with an adjustable arm
Holds an iPad at almost any height and angle
Black or white
Where it earns its place in a school:
As a visualiser — angle an iPad down over a desk to show worked examples on the board
Recording demonstrations — science, art, food technology and maker work filmed from overhead
Stop-motion animation — a stable overhead position is exactly what the task needs
Accessibility — positioning a screen for a student who can't hold a device
Cheaper than a dedicated document camera if you already have iPads, and does more with them. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.
