Handiest Stand For Your iSight Web Cam.
Ever wish you could easily place your iSight web cam anyplace you wanted?... even in front of the screen, if you choose? SightFlex twists and bends to let you do any of that, and more!
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 SightFlex 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.
