I just bought a Logitech Quickcam Orbit...

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.webcam (More info?)

I just took this thing out of the box. And I noticed one thing, there
are no instructions on how to remove the camera from the stand. I
tried to turn the camera itself and all it did was click. I later read
somewhere don't manually rotate the camera or it could damage the
camera! I hope I didn't hurt anything. I tried giving it a light tug,
nothing. Could someone please tell me how to remove the camera from
the stand. Logitech needs to take note of this oversite. I will send
them an email. GRRRRRRR.

Pull it up straight and HARD. I'm sure you didn't hurt anything by twisting,
there is a slip deal. When I first did that I thought I was sure to break
it, but thats how it comes off to insert the stanchion. Stupid of them to
not mentionit
