Disney wouldn't be what it is today if it weren’t for this legendary camera – and I built it out of Lego

The Lego Disney Walt Disney Tribute Camera. A hand operates the hand crank on the 1920s film camera, with the multi-plane camera side build next to it .

I had great fun putting together the Lego Disney Walt Disney Tribute Camera (43230). Not only is it an interesting build, but it’ll make a fab addition to my camera shelf alongside my retro Nikon FM and Nikon D800. But this fine Lego representation of a 1920s film camera isn’t necessarily the star of the show for camera nerds.

You see, you get a neat additional side build, which most people may assume is little more than a stand in the shape of a clapperboard to display the five Disney Minifigures. I myself had no idea what it was, but upon reading through the instruction booklet I realized that it wasn't just an extremely interesting camera relic, but arguably the most important camera in Disney's illustrious history.
