Homemade iSight tripod mount

You have to love those resourceful Mac users. Poster c0nsumer over at the Livejournal Mac OS X community has created a photo-based tutorial describing exactly how he made his "iSight capsule," an adapter that allows an iSight to be mounted on a standard 1/4" tripod camera mount. To make one yourself, you'll need one 5 meter 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire (IEEE1394a) cable, one length of 3/4" PVC pipe, two domed PVC pipe end caps, a 1/4-20 tee nut...and a free afternoon. Afterwords you'll have a very nice looking and quite functional accessory for you iSight camera. Pretty cool.
