Users that are working with the Quickcam Pro 9000, has anyone noticed a slight angle when a filming a shot? Because I have this problem and its really annoying me. If you've had this problem and fixed it, please tell

Can you be more descriptive? I'm having a vary hard time trying to imagine what you're (not) describing.
Perhaps include an image showing what the issue is?
Have you checked your camera holding rig to see if that is the issue?
I've had that problem with my rig before (using a C910) so that may be it.
Try rebuilding it or redesigning it, that should help.
Is the camera sitting on bare studs in the rig, or on a tiled surface? How tight is it being held? Any wiggle room?
Any one of those could be the issue. Assuming of course that your problem is what I think it is.
If it's a teeny-tiny tilt that is hard to see, and nothing else works, you can hide it by picking less "straight-on" angles. Folks probably won't notice it as much then, if they notice it at all.
I've redesigned my rig so many times and it doesn't seem to work. I think the camera itself is weighing one end down a slight.
Could you show us a picture of your rig?
I think i've got kinda the same problem, but it doesn't really matter a lot to me.
If i'm right, just moving it around might fix it.
Yeah, I think it's a very slight problem with the 9000, it sometimes gets this weird angle since it's ever so slightly tilted to one side. It's kind of hard to work around, though, I haven't really been able to do anything to fix it, tilting the camera sometimes makes it worse.
In my opinion it really isn't that bad of a problem that detracts from what I do, I just live with it. Like Pritchard said, just use angles besides "straight-on," and nobody's going to notice save yourself.
Maybe prop the mount up on one side somehow so that it is level?
Alternately, continue your career under the guise of being a Dutch filmmaker.
