Photos
There’s nothing special about the packaging. All the features that it offers are mentioned on the box. There wasn’t even a instruction manual, as the webcam is bascially plug-and-play.
A Closer Look
As you can see from the webcam itself, there’s a privacy button which is touch sensitive. The webcame is attached to a 1.5m USB cable (Type-A connector) which is long enough for most users. at the rear of the webcam unit, you’ll find another button which controls the 3-level color temperature and brightness of the ring light. Again, the button is touch sensitive.
You’ll also find a rubber/silicone cap that can be used to protect the webcam. One feature I really like about this webcam is at the base of the clamp. Here, you’ll find a camera screw mount for mounting the webcam to a camera tripod or arm.
Camera Usability
The clamp on the base of the webcam is extremely versatile and can be used on any monitor or laptop screen. The camera can also be tilted with varying angles to get that perfect position during Zoom calls or streaming session.
Tripod Mounting
The Gamdias IRIS M1 webcam features a camera screw mount for tripods and camera arms. This is perfect for multi-angle and over-head recording, especially for unboxing videos. The ring lights allow extra illumination so that the product can the lighting you need during the unbxoing.

I especially like the unique camera screw mount on the base of the clamp, which allows me to mount the webcam on to a tripod or camera arm. This is perfect for any multi-angle and over-head recording, especially for unboxing videos.
