The best way to find out what it is for, is to throw it away. In three days, you will not only find out what it is for, but you will have to go out and buy one just like it, or the expensive thing it goes on won't work at all! (Just my experience, probably no one else's...)

To be serious for a moment, I'm willing to stick my neck out and say categorically it's a Dingsbums (manufacturer undetermined).

Looks like a bifurcated trunnion, NOT. Don't know but it looks like it could be some sort of clamp used to join two poles together. Might fit around the ends of two poles lengthwise, then secured in place with set screws. Or maybe it's the world's ugliest pinky ring.


I think same.

Except one needs to have grooves made on the pinky so that the ring does not slip off.

PS. Were there set screws in the bottom of the bag? (two, at least)

The inner diameter looks like being about 3/4 inch, barring the lack of scale.

And this was the responders very first post! I look forward to more insightful comments from AliciaMW32. It was the best guess so far.

Any respectable ham radio operator knows this is a modification of the dreaded Wouff-Hong.

I found this in an old photo bag and I don't know what it is. It looks like a clamp for a light or tripod. It has a screw that opens the clamp/round part. It has rubber grippers inside of the round part. No writing on it at all...no identification. Thanks for your help.


It's a clamp that goes around a lens where the focus ring is so that you can change focus while doing video in LiveView modes.

Or it's a clamp for a lens that you can attach a lens foot to.

Any Navy Veterans out there should recognize that as a Shoreline Extender.

I think it might be a piston slapback spring clamp.

While the responses you’ve received are funny, except for one biting comment, they don’t offer much in the way of assistance. At least part of the problem is the shots you provide. Help us by imparting a sense of scale. Looking at your photos, we have no idea how large or how small the item is. When I had a pacemaker put in, I took a photo of one and used a penny to tell viewers the size.

People know how large a penny is, so as my photo shows they had a good sense (;-) of the device’s size.

Secondly, get some more light on your subject. Your images are too dark, and the viewer can’t ge a good idea what you’re showing.

I hope this helps. I’m curious myself.
