Yep Losmandy rings work great as others have found out.
But I use an alternative. It is a design that Bert invented and is absolutely brilliant. He posted about it in here about 2 years ago and no-one took his idea seriously. Last camp those who saw it said it is fantastic, but I don't think any of them have adopted the idea yet.
Phil (acropolite) checked it out at my house and said he will take the idea home.
It is a magnetised holder for the Toucam which allows the camera to move around! Simple!
