The field of view it captures something similar to what a lens on a DSLR sees makes it easy to position without a screen and be assured that get something in frame but bad for pictures of people as it distorts facial features in an unflattering way.

sure I could get better at using the Clips camera with practice getting a better idea of its field of view finding the best angles and positions for it and so on but not convinced that the effort involved would be rewarded with great results.
