10 versatile building blocks-pt1

[Bamboopictures]

If you are into Lego, you will enjoy hours of fun transforming these odds-ends-into cages, rigs, and thingamagics

1. Hondo Barely Baseplate
Just a rod clamp with triood thread at the top – and bottom too! For something as useful as this, surprisingly very few companies make them.

2. Cheese rods
Sold as a pair, but even just one rod will hold 2 or 3 accessories.
Unlike regular rods, the threaded part is flatten, making these cheeserods compatible with both rod clamps as well as flat brackets/plates.


3.15mm rod connector (last pic at the bottom)
Connects two cheese rods end to end!

4, 360 degree rod clamp:
versatile direction changer for building rod structures

5. Flash bracket kit:
This is a deluxe builder set! Complete with coldshoes, knobs, ball heads and even L-brackets
