The gooseneck thingie ends in a USB plug, so you can plug it in directly, there's also a weighted base that comes with a USB cable, and a usb port on the top for the camera. Here's a good picture: <http://tinyurl.com/aecrjw> The camera is plugged into the base here. (the usb cable, which is about 2.5-3' long is the dark blob in the box there.) They exaggerate greatly, no way are these cameras truly 1.3 megapixels. I was playing with mine and at that resolution (1280x1024) there were horrible, horrible jaggies in the image. But the focus was sharp at 640x480and 800x600, and their 5cm to infinity focus range seems right, which will make them great for playing with stop-action animation. You'll need iChatUSBCam to use them with iChat. It had quite good low-lighting response, and a decent framerate. It was worth the $14 + S&H I paid at Woot. You can get 'em at K-mart for $19, about the same price I got after S&H. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
