Hi guys I need some quick help , I have two Parallax Servos full rotation what I want to do is make a very simple device to turn left and right and up and down let me explain I have a webcam its shaped like a round ball I want to be able to use the two Parallax Servos
and in a quick and dirty way mechanically configure them so the will let the camera turn left right up and down I am talking hot glue gun here and whatever is the simplest way I know I am over thinking this can someone show me a picture of how you would do it
I can glue the webcam to the bottom servo for left and right but can anyone figure out a simple way to tip it up and down >>> Thanks guys

    Some kind of L bracket mounted to the up/down servo and on that you cut-out to mount the left/right servo and then mount the camera to the left/right servo.

    Also continous rotation servos are not what you want to use as you can't control the position well with them. Get regular servos.
