Anker PowerConf C300 features

Anker PowerConf C300 offers better low-light performance and has a wide-angle lens that offers three field of view choices — 78-degrees for close-ups, 90-degrees for a mid-view, or 115-degrees for the widest field of view. The wider framing will help the user during presentations on a whiteboard or a when you need to fit more than one person on the call. It also offers smart framing that helps keep an individual or group members centered on screen, though it will only reframe a subject's deliberate movements, so they can take a sip of water off camera, without shifting focus.

The webcam supports dual stereo microphones for better audio clarity and has a privacy shutter as well. It also has a flexible mounting clip for easy setup.
