Editor: <\/strong>Jim kajpust<\/a><\/p>\n

I made a viewfinder by using components from a disposable camera, CD-ROM driver and some LEGO bricks. Here is the result:<\/p>\n

\"LEGO<\/p>\n

The viewfinder body is composed by three parts:<\/p>\n

\"LEGO<\/p>\n

Here is the view of the assembled viewfinder parts. I only use Scotch tape, rather than glue, on both sides of LEGO to attach the top and bottom parts, in case I need to disassemble the viewfinder to clean or replace the lenses in the future.<\/p>\n

\"view<\/p>\n

Here are the parts for the base. The bolt and gear (dial-wheel) came from an old CD-ROM driver.<\/p>\n

\"view<\/p>\n

The clear plastic parts are cut from the clear plastic cover of a CD-ROM or DVD holder. I also use the same plastic on my Xbox VGA converter project years ago, like this:<\/p>\n

\"clear<\/p>\n

The constructed custom hot shoe base for Sony NEX 3\/5 series looks like below. I drilled a small hole on the top of LEGO, so that if the dial-wheel failed, I can use a screwdriver to attach or detach the custom hot shoe base.<\/p>\n

\"Sony<\/p>\n

Here is how it looks when attached to the NEX-5 body:<\/p>\n

\"attatch<\/p>\n

This is the front view of the LEGO viewfinder and the base part:<\/p>\n

\"front<\/p>\n

You can put any extra LEGO part above the viewfinder, if you really want to do so \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

\"Thunderbirds<\/p>\n

Of course, I don’t really put anything on top of the viewfinder.<\/p>\n
