LEGO Stop Animation Video Camera: for Minifig Films
October 5th, 2010
One of the geeky things I’d like to see before I die is a LEGO electronics set that can easily be assembled and taken apart to become different devices. One minute it’s an mp3 player, the next it’s a projector. But since our technology is obviously not quite there yet, this LEGO video camera will have to suffice for now.
The camera is equipped with a macro lens, a 1.5″ LCD screen, an SD card slot and a cute LEGO tripod. To help kids shoot stop animation videos, a program called LEGO Stop Animation Studio Software is bundled with the camera.
You can order the LEGO video camera at ThinkGeek for $80 (USD). It also comes with two minifigs, so you’ll have something to shoot right from the get go.

Don’t forget the awesome feature of having software NOT compatible with Windows Vista or 7! The camera maker’s website even states its XP or it’s just a brick.
