  1. It is a moterized verison of the prize!
    (OR a novelty oversized pinball bump!)
    Seriously, I have NO idea…


  2. Never saw the resemblance but you are right, it does look like you could mount camera on the top. 🙂


  3. hehe, just bought the prize for 1$, ps> the legs are extendable and it can hold even slr 🙂


  4. I think I know what it is, and what it could be used for (just an educated guess), but I have no idea how to find the manufacturer or model number.


  5. Based on the number of entries this has got to be one of the hardest contests yet!!!


  6. Let me guess: No entries? 🙂


  7. That is definately not a 1/4 – 20 thread for a camera….

    I am absolutely sure I know what it is. 😉

    I have never seen this specific item before.

    I have seen some people using a similar item as a cigarette holder!

    This will hold four.


  8. Hi VintagePC,

    There are some but not as many as any of the recent ones.


  9. Since the contest is over please let us know what it was – I’m still stumped…


  10. I was going to guess that it was a Turbo Prop Balancer for model RC airplanes; we’ll see if I was correct after the answer is posted.


  11. Winner announced. Check out the number of entries! This one has been the hardest one by far. 🙂
