Sorry, the abbreviation for the state of Oklahoma in the US. We're kinda rednecks down here. Well at least some of us are. ;-)

So "Well, I'm from OK, so tape is an obvious choice." is an insider joke, tell me what it is about
Back to topic: I like your ideas. But you are fishing in the dark and that is my fault. So I am going to create some light:
The camera is rotating and is taking photos to be combined in a time-lapse-movie. After that I take it from the retainer to connect it to my pc or to take some photos freehand. Then I want to put it in again.
When the photos are taken there is rapid movement being applied to the camera.
I thought about using a clamp, see picture, but I haven't managed to find out a suitable material yet. The problems arise because of the force being applied to the edges of the material(at the sharp angles of the clamp). I would have to subtly bend it over and over again which will sooner or later weaken the material to a critical degree.

Well, people in the Southern US states have a reputation of "repairing" (rigging) things with tape and wire, instead of really repairing them. :-)
Sounds like a cool project that you are working on. Will the camera rotate completly around? If so, how many rotations?

A little friendly chat is never a bad idea. After all it was me who asked for a description, remember?
Re "Cool idea": Well I don't know what you mean, maybe because I am not the youngest. Please explain.
I just added the ldr and unfortunately the +5V->LDR->IO-Pin-idea does not work. The voltage levels are not within the specified High/Low-Levels of the PIC. I found that Light means 1kOhms and None means from 8-16kOhms.
So I added a resistor of 4.7kOhms:
+5V->LDR->IO-Pin->4.7kOhms->Mass. Now there are voltage levels of about 3.2 and 2.3 Volts, which is still not within the specification.
Now I am planning to use the integrated Comparator but I do not know how, yet. What are the fuses?
On a 16f628 I guess it is CMCON=%11001010 for the PIN on RA2 but what about VREF. How to activate that in the high range?

and when it fails . . . hence the term " it went haywire" . . . Look at how much tape gets used in NASCAR . . . BFH Big Friendly Hammer . . . CMCON = 7 turn off comparators, look at pp 68 of the data sheet try vrcon = 0 shuts vrcon downDuct Tape and <font color=red>Bailing Wire.</font color>
