Hi There:

I am really close to getting an iSight but i do NOT want to stick on to the back of my FP iMac!😡

Has anyone had success mounting it on the iMac using the laptop mount? Is this possible? Many thanks in advance!😛
 
it is possible, but you need a piece of cardboard or something to make the lip thick enough for the laptop connector to hold on to.
 
Thanks!

So, it is possible with a little ingenuity. Good! Maybe I can use cut-to-shape plexi glass pieces and attach them to the iSight holder. I just hate the idea of smearing epoxy (or whatever the adhesive is) to the back of my iMac). Thanks Again.🙂
 
The adhesive is not permeant... it is a very strong gel that never leaves a mess behind... but is a huge pain to remove
 
do keep in mind that the adhesive is provided because of the risk of the camera falling off and breaking-- so by using a jimmy-rigged laptop mount, it's in danger of doing just that. if it were me, and i'm a nazi about stuff stuck to Macs, i'd just glue it... as was said, the glue is non-permanant, so if you ever decide to take it off, you're OK.

i should not say gel... it is a rubberish plastic... like the stuff they use to put inserts in magazines
 
Thanks!

I will probably go with the clips mentioned... although I trust you guys that the adhesive is removable without mess, I still prefer the clear plastic solution methinks... 🙂
