Anyone know a good link to a cradle for a Pro 9000. I already tried spidersock's but it was hard to put it at angles. or if you have a picture I would love to see it. Thanks. 
I use my own version of this: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=415757
It's awesome!
I'm only aware of Spidersock's cradle 
what kind of angles are you trying to achieve anyways?
just in ways where I can sort of spin the camera on the cradle without it being shaky if you know what I mean. I don't mean to be picky. 
I use the normal QCP cradle and when I want to do angled shots I just attatch a small plate to the bottom and tape it down, never seems to shake - just use LOTS of tape 
Thanks guys

My cradle is the thing in the bottom center.
The underside is a big plate, which allows it to be attached to rigs. An I-shaped piece sits on that, with C-shaped holders that go over the webcam. The white brick on the right of it is to hold the webcam in place. The rig I usually put it on is a panning rig, which is a 1x1 round piece attached to the baseplate with plates around it to balance the cradle.

Thanks this should help
I modified Spidersock's cradle to be more stable, and added some attachments as well, so I can pan.
What part of my cradle design make it hard to put at angles? The idea behind it is that it's easy to attach it to hinges, turntables, whatever is required to get a cool shot.
I just didnt know how to get those kind of angles without using tac to stick it down. but it is stable in the videos overall. Love your videos though. 
I actually use Sean's cradle attached to bodville's crane.
