The Ultimate DIY Camera Dolly

The LEGO Mini Camera Dolly. It turns out that the Bogen 3157N plate fits very well on top of a Lego 32532 6x8 Technic Brick

Wow!

All of this makes me think of my dream toy when I was a kid.

I used to shoot off Estes model rockets in my back yard. The company had one model call the Cam-Roc, I think, that included a built in movie camera that took picktures during the parachute ride down. (This might be it: http://www.poweredmodelairplanes.com/fmr/camroc.html )

Considering how many of those rockets ended up stuck in trees, I'm glad I never did buy one. But I still dream of using toys, like an RC helicopter or plane, to shoot a birds-eye view of my house.

My husband bought himself a helicopter for Christmas. It is a low end model and wouldn't carry the weight of a cell phone. Too bad, I had plans.

Yes, but when he has mastered art of flying it rather than crashing it, just think how keen he might be to upgrade to a larger model.....

That may be a very long time.

Wouldn't the camera pick up a hum from the Lego motarized car?

On the topic of helicopters, some of you may recall this post by Senior contibutor Shrimpfarmer (who, it appears, hasn't been active on Muvipix in about 11 months - pity, as he had lots of good stuff to share):
