How about a Lego Camera Case for the iPhone? It’s complete with tripod mount and a detachable ringlight! http://www.nacionale.com.

Here’s a 35mm film transport rig that was made to put thousands of color swatches in front of a high-end colorimeter, to characterize film stocks and processing pipelines for some major film production labs. It’s a top-loading rig — reels drop in and are retained by Lego arches. It has a source reel on the right, take-up reel on the left, a closed-loop slack-control system, a feedback-stabilized laboratory light source, Photo Research PR-650 (x-Rite i1 as a budget setup), etc. We had to make a handful of custom parts on a laser cutter, and I designed and fabricated a special optointerrupter brick for the project.

The mechanism is pretty complex, and the loading is quite high. The baseplate is glued to a piece of MDF because the overall mechanism was torquing so much from the forces involved. The reel torques are transmitted into the hubs with 2×2 rounds. Lots of triangulation. I’ll come clean: there’s glue here and there…there had to be, so that customers were never burdened with debugging the Lego structure.
A fun project….an approachable and affordable piece of high-end lab equipment. No, I don’t think it’d be easy to get it running at 24fps (especially not with Lego motors), but I’d love to try.
