    I have a several broken flip video cameras that I got off of eBay.
I fixed a few (swapped broken LCD screen, formated the HD, reset
the unit, etc), but I have several that need connections in the USB
arm soldered back to a tiny motherboard. (As you might imagine,
the USB arms get a bit of abuse).

   My question is this:

Which soldering iron do you recommend for such a delicate job?

   The iron I currently have is a cheap $20 model from Radio Shack.
