Identify This! No.76

Tonight, da.daaaaa! I present to you one of the greatest! What is it? Accuracy please...
More about "Identify This"... http://365project.org/netkonnexion/number03/2011-05-11

Yestderday you saw...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ah! I think I got most of you on this one. Although some did get it right... and good on 'em guv'nor! What you saw yesterday was none other than a "Manfrotto Article 035 Super Clamp". Use it to attach all sorts of studio equipment to other sorts of studio equipment. For example a camera to an overhead bar, a light to an upright column, a second strobe to a light stand... etc, etc. A most useful piece of equipment. You can see the rest of my picture here...

A distinction here... A clamp is used to fix something to something else. A vice is used to hold something while work is carried out on it. This is not a vice as it is used to attach items of studio equipment to other items. It is not substantial enough to act as a workshop vice.

One or two of you got close enough to be right... Those were:
TheSaint - A type of mount for a camera. Net says:-->> Yes!!! A clamp mount for lights and cameras...
Kathy A - Looks like some sort of clamp. Net says:-->> In fact that is exactly what it is... for studio items.
Natacha Murphy - not too sure, but i'm going to go with a clamp. Net says:-->> Spot on...!

For those who got close and mentioned a camera & tripod mount, strictly no. This is not really a tripod mounting for a camera. Although it can be mounted on a tripod for the purposes of adding extensions etc. So a second class win goes to...

Honorable mentions to...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shanne - connector and tap for gas or air supply Net says:-->> Nope, but credible given the crop... a "Doohicky Award!" Yahawee!!.

Alison Bailey - Duhhh!! (That'sit for tonight's thought process :-D ) Net says:-->> Great effort! I can hear it ticking... LOL

Paula Brumbe - obviously it is the screw end that goes into a much more important part. Net says:-->> Well, it goes into something LOL...

Amy Spada - Almost looks like part of a tripod... ??? Net says:-->> NO! But on the right track, a "Doohicky Award!" Yahooodlms!!! LOL.

Rick Schies - Have no clue, but at first I thought of some type of ink cartridge. Net says:-->> Wow! Didn't see that one comeing, but when you look at the shape... a credible effort...a "Doohicky Award!" Yahhhhoo!

shenay - is it a sillicone gun or a vice. Net says:-->> Completely off-track, but I loved the idea of a silly-cone gun! A "Doohicky Award!" Yaghhhiiiho!!! LOL...

Howard N - I've not seen a gizmo such as this in quite some time, if ever. If I had seen one recently I do not know if I would have remembered it or maybe not. It has a number of clamping, locking and releasing capabilities so I am going to guess it is just that, some sort of very sophisticated framing, clamping doohickie to construct picture frames... or maybe NOT! Net says:-->> OOOOOOHH!!! So near and yet so far Howard!!! LOL. Nice try.

Doug O. - Device that couples a laser beam to the head of a shark. Dr. Evil told me this. Net says:-->> ROFL, loved this one Doug, Great answer - a "Doohicky Award!" Yaaaaaaaaaaabadabadooooo!!!! LOL.

Sue Wilde - Looks deceptively like a tripod mount but I'm pretty sure it isn't. Some sort of vice grip...probably from a metal tooling workshop (and it hasn't been used) or, equally likely a locking mechanism for a sliding window...does that mean I get 2 guesses? Net says:-->> So close but not really on the mark... LOL. Good effort...a "Doohicky Award!" Yahoohee!

Ohhh! A difficult one tonight, but good answers. Nice one. Thanks everyone. Take care.

This hand held device is used to abrade rough edges on Manfrotto 035 Super Clamps (should they get out of the factory prior to a final inspection...) however it might also be used to scratch the balls of your feet (one at a time). But on a serious note... judging from the hole in the upper right of your image, this is what you hang on a hook somewhere and forget you have whatever it might be!

ginger grater - ceramic with spikes

July 26th, 2011

Alison Hewitt Bailey ace

Using my famous powers of deduction - a grater for something that doesn't require a lot of grating (those spikes don't look as if they make a lot of impact). Or a soap dish. :-)
