The Negative Profile adaptors do not work with Toucams. Because of their flat body they won't recess into it.

The 'mirror up the tube' trick should solve the problem

Also, I have started a Yahoo Group for Modified Webcam imagers if you want any help with imaging with one. It's only a few days old

Thanks Ken,

I didn't know I could move the mirrors other than for collimation. I will give that a try. It certainly is more appealing than taking to it with a Hacksaw (Sorry Erick, I just bring myself to do it).

I will give the yahoo group a try.

Thanks all.
