Hi everybody. I have recently been demonstrating Video Labs Flex Cam
Desktop Video Camera at my workshops. This is a little desk top
camera on an 18 inch goose neck. It is absolutely great. It will
focus down to very close. I can fill a screen with my little finger
nail. It has an S-Video output so it just plugs into a TV. Lets the
students really see what you are doing. There are adapters to hook
it up to your computer too. There is even a built in microphone.
Works very well in low light. There are some on Ebay right now. New
ones are $500+. A great tool for the class room. Bill
