Mac webcam for tutorials

Post by Loopscious » Fri Nov 20, 2009 7:09 pm

Hi all - wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a webcam for Mac OS X that will allow me to use a screen recorder and take video of my outboard gear (like the APC) to make tutorials, etc. Yes the Mac has a built in camera, but that's facing me, not my gear... A lot of webcams mount on the computer screen which is not really something I want either... how do others do this?

Thanks!
:P

This is the classic i-sight which you can still pick up on fleabay Image

but just about any digital camera with video out or camcorder can be used via USB or FW direct to iMovie or Quicktime X or pro. Otherwise record the movie on a digital camera and upload it via iphoto.
