The sound, while a little muffled, was clear, and it did a good job filtering out background noise. The autofocus system kept the HD image sharp and focused on the person talking. When we tested video calling with the Logitech C920 Pro HD Webcam clipped to the laptop, it performed admirably.

We tested the Logitech C920 Pro HD Webcam by mounting it on top of a Macbook Pro and on an HD TV, using Skype for video calls and Photobooth for stills and recorded video. Lifewire / James Huenink Performance: Strong video and audio with some autofocus problems The camera does have decent vertical rotation range, approximately 30 degrees forward and 15 degrees back. The Logitech C920 Pro HD Webcam doesn’t rotate left or right, a strange omission given how many cheaper competing models do.

There’s a nonslip foot on the bottom next to a standard tripod mount. This flexible foot design is superior to most webcams, because it makes the C920 extremely stable when it’s mounted on a screen. It can fold to 90 degrees so it can rest snugly on the back of the screen. At the front side of the bottom, where the bottom edge would touch the back of a screen, there's a flexible foot. The inside of the base has two pieces, one on top and one on the bottom connected by a hinge, and each is lined with a non-slip material.

There’s a front edge that hangs down from the front of the camera which slides over the front of a monitor. The base unfolds to clip the Logitech C920 Pro HD Webcam to the top of a laptop, a monitor, or an HD TV. Close to twice the price of some of its competitors, but you get what you pay for-higher quality video and audio.
