Standard tripod mount for iSight?

Does Apple, or any other company for that matter, make a mount for the iSight that works with the standard threads of a camera tripod? Since my flat panel monitor isn't magnetic and is too wide for the laptop mount, I'm stuck with one usable mount. Why no mount for one of the standard mini tripods? That seems like it would be a no-brainer or am I missing some obvious reason Apple wouldn't want to allow users to utilize a tripod? I'm perplexed.

Thanks. Exactly what I was looking for — spendy for a piece of plastic, but if that will work I'll order it. Apple surprises me however. For a company renowned for imaginative thinking, you'd think this piece would be part of the regular mounting set, given the fact everyone and their dog — including my schnauzer — has a tripod of some sort. Oh well, I guess, by their lack of providing an OBVIOUSLY useful piece of hardware they're doing their part in supporting the aftermarket accessory business — at a price ($24.95 for a piece of plastic!). I do LOVE my new iSight though! I'd WHOLEHEARTEDLY recommend it to anyone! I guess if this is all I have to complain about it's not so bad. But if anyone from Apple is listening, add a tripod mount with your future cams. Think Different.
