Chief 14" Video Conferencing Camera Shelf - For Mobile Cart - Black
Elevate your video conferencing experience with the Chief 14" Video Conferencing Camera Shelf designed for mobile carts. This versatile shelf, compatible with the PAC716 system, gives you flexible mounting options for your camera to ensure perfect framing in any room layout. Whether you need the camera above the display for a wide, eye-level perspective or below the display for a tighter, more discreet setup, this shelf makes it easy to adapt to changing collaboration needs. The black, powder-coated finish blends seamlessly with most carts and conference spaces, while the robust construction provides dependable support during long meetings, high-impact presentations, or rapid room reconfigurations. Built to work with Chief’s P-series 14 x 14" and M-Series 200 x 200 mm Q-Latch systems for above-display installations—and with the 14 x 14" system for below-display configurations—the shelf is a practical, future-proof upgrade for any mobile conferencing environment.
- Flexible mounting options with Q-Latch compatibility: The PAC716 shelf supports above-display configurations using both the 14 x 14" P-series and the 200 x 200 mm M-Series Q-Latch systems, as well as below-display configurations using the 14 x 14" system. This versatility lets you choose the best camera position for your room, audience, and lighting conditions without swapping hardware. It’s ideal for conference rooms, huddle spaces, training rooms, and temporary setups on mobile carts. The Q-Latch compatibility means quick, tool-free camera attachment and secure retention, so your camera stays exactly where you need it during active sessions.
- Designed for Chief mobile carts and reliability you can trust: Built to integrate with the Chief PAC716 ecosystem, this shelf provides a stable, purpose-built mounting surface that complements Chief’s reliability and engineering standards. Its rugged construction is intended to withstand the demands of frequent reconfigurations and transportation, keeping cameras properly oriented as carts move between rooms or teams. With a finish that matches most modern office equipment, it preserves a professional look while delivering long-term performance.
- Secure, adjustable camera positioning for optimal framing: The shelf offers precise alignment options so you can position your camera exactly where you want it, whether above or below the display. The combination of multiple Q-Latch interfaces and the 14x14" / 200x200 mm compatibility ensures a snug fit and predictable tilt angles, enabling quick framing adjustments for different speakers, audiences, or room setups. This reduces setup time and helps ensure consistent video quality across meetings.
- Efficient cable management and clean aesthetics: A key benefit of the shelf is its ability to help you organize cables neatly, keeping them out of sight and away from foot traffic or cart wheels. By consolidating mounting points and minimizing exposed wires, the shelf contributes to a tidy conference area, reduces tripping hazards, and helps maintain a professional appearance in shared spaces. The black finish not only looks sleek but also minimizes visible wear from daily use.
- Simple upgrade path for current and future conferencing tools: Because the shelf supports both P-series and M-Series Q-Latch systems for above-display mounting—and a standard 14" pattern for below-display mounting—it is adaptable to a wide range of cameras and future Chief configurations. This flexibility means you can upgrade to higher-quality conference cameras or reconfigure layouts without replacing the entire mounting solution. It’s a smart, cost-effective way to future-proof a mobile cart setup in busy workplaces and education environments.

how to install Chief 14" Video Conferencing Camera Shelf - For Mobile Cart - Black
- Plan your orientation: Decide whether you will mount the camera above the display or below it. Above-display mounting uses the 14x14" P-series or 200x200 mm M-Series Q-Latch interfaces, while below-display mounting uses the 14x14" system. This choice will guide which hardware and mounting points you use.
- Prepare the mounting surface: Confirm that your Chief mobile cart has the corresponding Q-Latch mounting points and that the surface is clean and accessible. If needed, remove any obstructions near the display to allow for camera placement and cable routing.
- Attach the shelf to the cart: Use the appropriate Q-Latch hardware matched to your chosen configuration. Secure the shelf firmly to the cart’s frame or mounting rails, ensuring that you have a level installation. Tighten mounting screws or latches as specified by Chief’s installation guidelines to avoid wobble during movement.
- Attach the camera to the shelf: Mount your camera to the shelf using the corresponding 14x14" or 200x200 mm interface. Verify that the camera is seated properly and that the latch mechanism engages fully so the camera remains in place.
- Adjust positioning and test: With the camera attached, adjust tilt, pan, and rotation to achieve optimal framing for your typical participants. Run a quick test with a colleague or by performing a simulated video call to confirm lighting, background, and framing. Route all cables along the cart’s cable management channels to keep them tidy and secure.
- Finalize setup: Once positioning is validated, perform a final check for stability as the cart moves. If you anticipate frequent reconfigurations, consider labeling cables and keeping spare hardware in a dedicated kit to speed future changes.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Chief 14" Camera Shelf compatible with all Chief carts? The shelf is designed for Chief mobile carts and works with the PAC716 system. Compatibility depends on the cart’s mounting patterns and available Q-Latch interfaces. Always verify your cart model and Q-Latch pattern against Chief’s official compatibility guides before purchasing.
- What cameras can I mount using this shelf? The shelf supports standard video conferencing cameras that fit the 14 x 14" (P-series) or 200 x 200 mm (M-Series) Q-Latch patterns for above-display mounting and the 14 x 14" pattern for below-display mounting.

Check product documentation or the retailer’s listing to confirm which mounting hardware is included and which must be purchased separately.
