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.

My internal defribulator/pacemaker is about the size of a matchbox. It consists of a pulse generator which has a battery and a tiny computer circuit, & 1 or more wires known as pacing leads, which attach to the heart. I can feel the device under the skin on my upper left chest.

That's exactly why we stopped tossing out all the little odd bits and pieces we've found around the house, the yard, and in the cars. We are now proud owners/guardians of a draw full of those "things". What we need is a draw of the things that match. Still NOT gonna throw the bits and pieces out, though!


Yup, I save the bits and bobs and my wife throws the whole drawer away !

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.


Maybe for a view camera monorail?
What's the inside dimensions?

These goofy guesses are getting ridiculous. Only a couple of people have attempted to actually identify this.

Yes, it is certainly a useful design to mount a shotgun mic on a video camera or a dSLR/MILC video accessories cage. But not knowing the size, it’s hard to say.

I have a similar doodad on my old Canon GL2.

Well, you started this. Hang onto your hat! You'll get no respect in this topic.

My best guess is that it's Whistle spadingus.

Possibly a Rettysnitch adapter.

I'm telling you. It's from "Moshe's Precision Soycumcisions".
