Lately, I have been trying to find a better way of anchoring a camera. I have already tried a tripod and sticky tack. I find that sticky tack works best. Yet, I still get shaky cam! Any other suggestions?
You've tried a tripod but to no avail?? Wow. Anyway... how about... does your cam have a Remote Control? (what cam is it?)
Or maybe use remote capture program like Monkeyjam?
Have you ever thought of making a LEGO cradle for it? What camera are you using?

^Haha, whoops.
Sean has a really helpful tutorial for making a LEGO cradle for Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000's. I can't seem to find it at the moment, though.

Mines thinner. It's a Casio Exilim and its thicker than a quickcam. It's a digital camera. Any ideas?
Are you capturing your images through a capture program on your computer?
Or are you actually pressing the button on your camera each time to capture your frames?
(The basic question that everyone forgets to ask in these threads)

Can we see pictures of your camera?
I found a picture of his camera by googling the name of it. Hooray for google!
I say the best way to go is to build a LEGO cradle for it.

Yeah, just build a LEGO box for it. That's what LOTL did in his THACumentary.
Ok. Yeah I press the button on the top. But I just found a webcam with a cord so I should be ok. Also, I'm saving up to buy a Quickcam model. Thanks. So, what kind of Quickcam would you guys recommend.

Quickcam Pro 9000, no questions asked. 
Ok!Not to sound rude but, any other suggestions?
The 9000 is the best. All the pros use it. Like bodville. And me!
Ok! Looks like I'm getting a 9000! How much does it cost?
I use it, NXTManiac, KG (occasionally), and a few others do too.
How much does it cost?

Yeah, I got mine from Dell computers for about $90 but you can get it off eBay for as low as $60 or $70.
You mean a Quickcam 9000? Another question: Is it easy to anchor? Also a picture is worth a thousand words! 
*wink* *wink*
Sorry couldn't be bothered taking a pic. But yes, anchoring a QP9K is pretty easy.
I bought my Pro 9000 on Amazon, for $75 USD.
