gcam -- billed as a really simple way to capture video. It is and gives you instant quicktime clips, but I had some audio issues: much feedback.
Do check out the SightFlex and iFlex though if you're looking for alternative ways to position your iSight. I'm loving my new SightFlex. |

Hey MB, what about that new gizmo, the SightLight by Griffin?
Pretty cool for a small light - adds some fill, but watch if you're wearing glasses! |
 Bright enough to light my face in an unlit room. |
