Touch and Goes via webcam...

I had used my iPhone 4S to video some take-offs and landings last weekend with less than satisfactory results. The shutter speed of the camera and the propeller speed caused weird effects on the video, plus the mount I used would vibrate pretty violently at certian RPMs so the video was worthless.  So being the geek pilot I am, I wondered what would happen if I just used a webcam attached to my laptop computer to video the flying.  The problem with that is I don't have a good way to mount the webcam... or do I?

This is what you can do with a webcam and about twenty feet of clear packing tape...
