The Ultimate iSight Accessory
Design
goal: To build a universal desk stand for Apple's iSight web cam, one
that is widely adjustable for height and position, that requires no odd
fittings or adapters, and just plugs into the Firewire port on the
bottom of the iSight web cam. Make it so that the styling is modern and
complementary to the look of Apple's latest desktop products. Make it
sturdy, easy to use, and durable.
If you own an Apple iSight web
cam, you know that the most frustrating aspect of this otherwise
gorgeous product is the continual challenge to figure out how to mount
it exactly where you want it. Other than the Powerbook clip, the
mounting clips provided by Apple are, at best, only marginally
acceptable solutions. And, at worst, the OEM clips will frequently
leave you with no good way to put your iSight where you need to put it.
That can be frustrating.
Welcome to the new Sight Flex adjustable iSight mounting stand, from MacMice... the end to your iSight mounting frustrations.
Clever, Cute, And Darned Handy
The
Sight Flex was inspired by the good, old-fashioned gooseneck lamp. You
know... the ones that you can just grab and twist, and adjust about any
way you want to. We had the crazy idea of putting a high quality
Firewire cable inside one of those flexible gooseneck tubes, adding a
6-pin Firewire plug to the top, and just plugging an iSight web cam
onto the top of the resulting product. Sure enough, after building one
and playing with it, it turned out to be about the handiest product
we've ever touched. So, we decided to produce it for sale.
Well Designed. Good Looking.
The
Sightflex is a high-quality flexible steel tubing stand, with the tube
itself satin chrome plated, solidly mounted to an extra heavy
hemispherical silver base, terminating at the top in a male 6-pin
Firewire connector. It is over 20-inches tall... plenty tall enough to
reach over the top of even the 23-inch Apple Cinema Display. The weight
bearing ability and 'obedience' (the way it holds its shape when bent)
have been carefully determined to nicely match supporting the Apple
iSight.
The Bottom Line
The iSight is the most well
executed web cam on the market, and, with its iChat AV software it has
quickly become a popular addition to the Mac lifestyle for many
thousands of people. The SiteFlex is our answer to the frustration of
being able to mount the camera where you want it, when you want, and in
a simple, easy to use manner.
Frankly, if you own an iSight web cam, you really need a SightFlex.
