Tripod

[hiden counter sniper]

The Tripod is an awesome thing I'd love to have for a brick arms light machine guns, sometimes m1919.Its also a thing I'd like to see in brick arms!

[Tac]

I foresee lots of uses for photography related MOCs. I've been toying around with ideas for my minigun and new browning, but none of them looked right. It would be great of Will made one.

[bee815]

I really need one (Or 257) of these. And I agree with Tac, there would be many uses for a tripod other than guns. (Landing gear, microphone holder, side table legs) and those were just things I thought up on the spot.

[GreenLead]

I'd prefer seeing a shallower tripod for support weapons like the M1919, etc:



Also, perhaps a peg hole to accept a monopod / pintle mount?

I agree. A photo stand would be cool, but this would have many more uses.

[hiden counter sniper]

It does look nice and it will look better than the mono pod on the m1919. I was thinking a tripod with a half of a universal clip at the top for other things also the m1919. Maybe the combat Light Machine Gun and the m1919's box clip in it with a tripod could be on an air plain (all that together is a m60). i was gust suggesting that.

Oh yeah, tripod- the third of the pod series. Just kidding. Anyway, yes, I would love a tripod.

I love this idea and would use them quite exstensively. But do miniguns use tripods?

[GreenLead]

But do miniguns use tripods?

Apparently yes, although limited to PR events rather than actual combat.

Still, with BrickArms, how one uses these toy accessories is only limited by one's imagination :)

[The Big Red Brick]

This would be an awesome product! Will should make an M2 Browning to go with it.

[KalSkirata]

Yes, a tripod would be really nice.
But instead of half a U-Clip, I would suggest an inverted pipe, so you can stick the Browning holder in it.
As an alternative, you could stick in a monopod and put on your LMG, or mod a small lenght of pipe and attach the Minigun.

But instead of the Browning and above seen Minigun tripod, I would rather prefer an upright standing one with three legs that are the same lenght.

You would have more uses that way, and you can take it also as a standalone turret like in Halo, the first Splinter Cell game, MW2 sentry gun, TF2 sentry gun, and many more.

You already have the monopod, the bipod, so why not a tripod?

I think that is made, this accessory should be a plug kind of thing, you know so that it can fit both the monopod and the M1919's under-thingy (what's it called again?)

Analogous to the peg hole I mentioned in a prior post ;)

the M1919's under-thingy (what's it called again?)

Pintle mount.

[jebberb]

As tripods go, I would love to see the M3, the tripod which is typically used with the M240b LMG, with a hole that could acconadate a pintle mount, monopod, etc. that would also come with a connector joint that joins two rods so that ist could be used ina a standing position as well.

[the longest day]

It would be cool if there was a Brickarms tripod!

[Colby&Max]

I would really like to see a brickarms tripod! However, there is one big issue; Equal leg tripod, or shallow tripod? Or both? I'm honestly not sure, but I would like to see a shallow tripod!

[The Syndicate]

I would prefer the shallow tripod myself. It would be a great addition for the M1919.

[DutchBricks]

I'd also prefer a tripod for a weapon instead of one for a camera. It's more what BrickArms does.
I'd love to see it going in production. I'm sure is has plenty of uses but that depends of the design.

[bushninja]

I'd think equal-leg, as in Japanese WWII MG mounts. One question- How to mold it? If anyone knows, or thinks they know, I'd like to figure this one out.

[meiguizi]

I'd prefer seeing a shallower tripod for support weapons like the M1919, etc:

I had been thinking a simple-ish way to address this would to be to simple mold a front leg that was compatible with the existing bipod. the proportions are close enough, that a longer monopod-like piece with a foot at one end and a clip to mount a weapon to (not sure whether horizontally or vertically would be more useful) on the other would be a great way to tackle this.

[Ashton6460]

I really need some of these for my machine guns! I would certainly buy a few.

[Rootbeerking202]

A tripod would be a great idea. There are over hundreds of possibilities for this. Sounds like a great idea! I would use it a lot for ground units, or even some peice of artillary.

[xmrsmoothx]

I'd like the shallow tripod with a peg hole mount. There are dozens of uses for this sort of accessory.

Yes! That way, we can still attach it to the front of weapons! But still, the taller one would be great for a camera. TLC already has a Camera.

[h77IM]

For a camera stand, I used to use this.

But I think a low tripod is a good idea, so we don't need clumsy brick built stands for our MG's

That, and it kind of violates the criteria for the tripod. ;)

[Duckcammando]

I would personally prefer the shallower tripod, as it seems more useful to me.

[Syruss]

The shallower tripod would probably be more useful. The idea of using a tall tripod to mount a gun seems silly to me. I imagine that my fig would still need cover, rather than foolishly standing there behind the tripod, and in that case, I imagine he'd use the wall or sandbags or whatever I build him to steady his weapon. A more shallow tripod would be good for one of my figs if they were prone or seated. In my opinion, at least.

Its a Quadpod! This would be so useful! I totally need this!

wat do you guy's think of this?

[brixon]

I totally agree on this! Not only could this be used for anti-aircraft machine-guns, but you could make some awesome Flak 88's with a tripod. Maybe even actual flak guns, like the Bofors or Flakvierling 38.

[MinifigGuy]

I was thinking, and BrickArms has a monopod and bipod, but what about tripods? I've seen a technique using a monopod and bipod connected, but having a separate tripod accessory would make things better.

This looks pretty neat, eh :)

[enigma badger]

I would really like to see a tripod for the M1919. I don't know if its ever been suggested, but would be awesome.
