Use a tripod? I have my QCP9K mounted to a tripod, it's great for camera movements.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Sorry to bump, this is the last updated thread I could find about camera rigs in general (not wanting to create a new thread). My dad ordered me a new device that can help a lot (note: don't order things if you don't know where it comes from. It seems that this came directly from China and took [i]forever[/i] to ship)
Because the Webcam Pro 9000 (or all other webcams) do not have optical zoom, the only option is digital. This can greatly decrease from the quality. In my rig, I have a clamp on camera mount (from grandparent's basement, my dad's when he was a kid), and the zoom piece that was ordered. A few modifications to the webcam, and a nut was taped onto the end, so it could be mounted to a camera mount.
Here, it's completely zoomed out.

Zoomed in.

And here demonstrates the ability to have various angles, using the webcam's function to maneuver into different positions.

It's quite sturdier than it looks in these photos.
With this rig, I now have an easier way to attempt a vertigo dolly zoom (which still involves the digital zoom though). It's also quite easier to pan in multiple directions, plus a 'shaky camera' effect.]]></content>

Quality is about as high as a webcam will get it (which isn't very high...), but it's not too bad for filming. Of course nobody else seems to have it, so I had to make my own case for it (which might have included some sticky tack for extra support :shifty: ), but it's not too bad of a webcam.]]></content>
