You can make an LCD viewfinder quite easily out of legos, a toy magnifying glass, and a pill bottle.
Cut the top off the pill bottle, glue in the magnifying glass lens, this is you eye piece. Then build a lego rectangle for the body, the size spends on you LCD and distance you magnifying glass needs to focus.
I attach it with a 3 rubberband chain attached to the built in flash, and tripod plate

I'd love to save cash, but I just don't have the motivation to whittle myself some 15mm rods and make a follow focus.

not for the kind of people who slap something with duct tape together and call it a day, nor those who don't have the tools or money, but the first 3 instructables from this guy are fantastic, and his videos are eye candy. i'm seriously considering his dolly and crane, once i get a good amount more money.

Chill your balls man. I completely understand someone making a DIY slider, dolly, glidecam, ect. But I think building a viewfinder out of felt and fucking legos is ridiculous. Its literally $25 for a viewfinder off of amazon right now. Not to mention you would look like the biggest fucking retard going up to the hill with a viewfinder made out of toys.

just my 2 cents
