Universal Lego Pod

My old legos are calling me all the time. They are fun but unuseful for other things than play like a child. But the other day, I watch some lego boxes in my closet, and I say... I can do something more!

 I though and though and I remembered that I need a tripod an I have sugru. What more do I need?

Let's start to make this universal Lego pod!

To do this project you need:

Materials:

• Lego pieces
• Sugru
• Camera size screw
• Magnet
• Sucker

Tools:

• Power Drill
• Scissors
• Your imagination

The heart of this project and the obvious requeriment: An adapter for the camera. For this step you need:

- A Lego Bionicle arm holder
- Sugru
- Power Drill
- A camera screw

  First  of all, drill the "+" of the top of the Lego arm holder until the screw cross it easily(don't worry if it breaks).Afterwards, take 5g of sugru and start rolling it during 30 seconds. Then, put the screw in the hole and fill it with sugru. Save the rest of the sugru for the next project.

So as to have more than a simple tripod you can find in every shop, there're needed extra parts. This must be a pod that can work in every place, so there're needed different mods for it.

  Keep on reading and get inspired.

Materials:
- Magnet
- Bionicle arm holder
- Sugru

Take a hard disk magnet or the stronger you have and stick it with a lego arm holder using sugru.

Materials:
- Sucker
- Bionicle arm holder
- Sugru

Tools:
- Scissors

Extract the unnecesary parts of the sucker. Cut the top in order to place there the head of the bionicle arm holder. Add Sugru and let it cure. For more info, follow the images.

Those are not exactly master pieces, but a important part of the project.


Materials:
- Bionicle Feet (x2)
- Bionicle Arm (x3)
- Sugru


Simply add sugru to the base of the feets and to the arms, later you are going to see how it works.

The most simplest mode to put a camera everywhere. It's small, light and usefull.

Materials:
- Bionicle Arm holder (x2)
- Bionicle Arm -grip version- (x3)
- Lego size 2 axles (x2)
- Camera Adapter


Put the two axles in the two holes of the adapter. Afterwards, add the other holders, one in each axle and looking to the opposite side. Finally, insert the grip version arms in the three holes. For more details, look the pictures bellow.

You can use this mode so as to attach your camera to a big branch, to have a higher perspective or make your instructables photos tying it to your own arm.

Materials:
- Bionicle arm holder (x2)
- Bionicle dual arm holder (x8)
- Bionicle arm (x8)
- Bionicle arm -grip version- (x2)

- Camera adapter


Make the structure we made in Mode 1 without insert the three arms. Later attach the dual arm holders in pairs using the size 2 axles (2 axles per couple). Insert two arms among the holders. In the final holes, put the grip version holders on them. For more details, look at the pictures bellow.

Everywhere you go, every travel you do you will find mirrors, crystals or plain surfaces that are hard to put a camera on it. That's going to end with our third mode, the sucker.
