PlexiCam Mag2 vs. iContact Camera

PlexiCam Mag2 vs. iContact Camera

Choose your camera. Keep your mount.

Integrated eye-contact webcams solve the right problem the wrong way: they weld the camera to the mount and dictate where it sits. When camera technology changes — and it changes every year — the whole unit retires. The PlexiCam Mag2 takes the opposite approach: a display-safe magnetic mount that puts the USB-C webcam you choose anywhere on your screen you want it — and holds the next camera too.

Trusted by executives, sales teams, and founders who live on video.

What happens when camera tech changes

Webcams keep getting better — 4K, 60fps, AI gimbal tracking, better low-light sensors. The question isn't whether you'll want a better camera someday. It's whether your eye-contact setup survives the upgrade.

We agree on the problem

Eye contact matters. Your camera shouldn't be disposable to get it.

Integrated eye-contact cameras get the core insight right — the camera belongs at eye level, over the conversation. Where we part ways is control. An arm-mounted unit decides the camera's position for you: a fixed drop from the top bezel, wherever the clip sits. And camera technology moves fast — sharper sensors, AI framing, gimbal tracking, better low light. An integrated unit freezes you at the year you bought it, in the spot its arm allows. A modular mount treats the camera as what it really is — the part you'll want to upgrade and position freely — and the mount as what it should be: infrastructure you buy once.

Want it complete out of the box?

Mag2 Plus pairs the mount with the OBSBOT Meet SE — a compact Full HD webcam with AI auto framing. Start with a great camera today, and when you're ready for 4K or gimbal tracking, upgrade the camera and keep the mount.

Outfitting a team?

Standardize the mount, not the camera. Every seat gets the same eye-level presence, while each person keeps the webcam that fits their role — and IT never re-buys mounts when cameras refresh. Volume pricing on multipacks for teams of 5 or more.

Modular vs. integrated, answered

Why not just buy an all-in-one eye-contact webcam?

Because the camera is the part that ages. All-in-one units solve today's eye contact with today's sensor — and lock the two together. With a modular mount, eye contact is permanent and the camera is replaceable, so your setup improves every time webcams do.

Can I put the camera exactly where I want it?

Yes — that's the point of a magnetic mount. Arm-based eye-contact cameras hang from the top bezel at a fixed drop, so the camera's height is set by the hardware and its horizontal range is limited to sliding along the top edge. The Mag2 attaches anywhere on your screen: high or low, left, right, or center. If your meeting window lives on the right half of an ultrawide, your camera can too. Eye contact means the camera sits over the eyes you're looking at — not where an arm happens to reach.

Which webcams work with the Mag2 mount?

Webcams with a rear USB-C port, including the Logitech Brio 4K and MX Brio, Insta360 Link series, OBSBOT Meet and Tiny series, Lumina 4K, Opal C1, and Razer Kiyo Pro. That includes 4K/60fps options and AI gimbal-tracking cameras that no integrated eye-contact unit currently matches.

Does one Mag2 really cover every screen?

The Mag2 attaches magnetically to roughly 95% of modern monitors, flat or curved, and comes with a backplate for non-magnetic screens and laptops. One mount moves with you between the desktop and the road — no need to match a model to each screen size.

What about a built-in microphone?

Most quality USB-C webcams include capable mics, and many professionals prefer a dedicated mic anyway. Modularity applies here too: pick the audio that fits how you sound, rather than accepting whatever is soldered in.

Eye contact is forever. Cameras aren't. Buy accordingly.
