I mean I have the Fifine with the non-tripod stand (linked above) and mic sock and use it already besides my notebook slightly angled towards my mouth out of the frame. I keep gain knob down and when I am lazy, I just set Zoom's auto audio gain adjust which makes for an even output signal even when you move slightly.

On conference calls my headphones are usually plugged into the audio-out of the back of the mic so I can monitor my audio (and Linux can also output the system sound to that channel).

Pulsecaster is a very good tip, thanks!
