Use your iSight Camera better...

Yes you can use it as a make shift camcorder my just staring into it, or by positioning it appropriately, but you can also use it as a makeshift video recorder/stand - great for close up demos - no stand/tripod needed:

What's that? Oh, but it's upside down, you say? In QuickTime you can flip it, and trim it, like so:
