Can Webcams Be Mounted on Tripods?

8 replies
I need a webcam that can be mounted on a
tripod. Do you happen to know of one?

Also, is it pretty easy to turn a regular
camcorder into a live webcam?

    James the only one I know of is the Microsoft lifecam. It has a tripod threaded mount on it.

    For what it's worth I built a tripod adapter for my Logitech HD Pro C910 Webcam and it works great. Both as a webcam and as a video camera for head-shots (and the stereo microphones help out a lot too).

    So if you're willing to be a bit creative it can certainly be done.

    I have some none name brand webcam that I got a long time ago that has a tripod hole. The only webcam I know of that has a tripod mount is some made by Microsoft.

      Yes, it looks like Logitech has the C615 and the C525 -- both come tripod ready.

      That said, does anyone happen to know if regular camcorders can easily be used as webcams?

        generally speaking no.

        Their hardware isn't really designed to feed streams live through a usb cable onto a computer.

        Though some geek community somehwere possibly has hacks and mods for some camcorders that can do that.

        But google is your friend.
