But don't want more drippings going into the casing. Iso of an over the counter cleaner y'all use

What kinda of sticky? Does it stick when you try to turn/reposition it, or is it sticky on the lens?

Get some 90%+ Isopropyl Alcohol at the drug store. It's cheap, like... $3/pint

Gets rid of sticky and dries wicked fast.

this would be perfect if it's the lens or outside of the camera. It evaporates very quick but don't let it get inside the camera because alcohol is very conductive and can short out circuits.

if it's "sticky" when you're trying to reposition, i'd try a lubricant. what type of lubricant would depend on the material the joint is made of.

You shouldn't clean anything while the power is on. Isopropyl is safe to use and is the recommended cleaner.
