I think it's too easy.

I think John Cleese tried selling their larger cousin in a cinema once upon a time. And it's not a plane or Superman!

It's not an Albatross or a Gannet on a stick but I think you had the rough idea! We were having a breakfast in a cafe in Brighton and was joined by this chap.

[Nod]

Bugger! I was trying to infer that I knew what it was without incurring the penalty of having to find something to shoot!!!

Try this for size...

[Tigger.ufo]

Binocular eyepiece?

 

[Nod]

Not a duck!

 

[sirch]

Unmentionable part of a female R2 unit?

 

[MikeM]

Telescope eyepiece?

 

[Nod]

No part of any robot, mechanoid, android or telescope/bin/monocular. It is photography related...

 

[NikonKev]

A joiny thingy.
Best i can come up with considering you've posted the whole object

A joiny thingy.

Was thinking same, like pushfit hoselock fitting or plumbing compression twisty piece

 

[Sharky]

Tripod / monopod knuckle?

 

[brownin]

Just realise you said photography related, *facepalm*

 

[Sharky]

Maybe a lens adaptor ring?

 

[Nod]

Need quite a bit more than "a joiny thing"! It's made by a specific manufacturer but fits at least one other product from a different manufacturer and does the same job as it's intended to do. Confuzzled much? I am!

 

[NikonKev]

Ok Nod moving on from a "Thingy Joiner"
Is it used to attach a Camera to a Telescope ?

 

[Nod]

No.

 

[JennyGW]

Lens filter holder?

 

[Nod]

'Nuther no.

 

[JennyGW]

part of a ceiling light fitting.

 

[Nod]

Not lighting related.

 

[NikonKev]

Eyepiece adaptor

 

[Nod]

That's definitely close enough! It's the little ring that goes between a Nikon DR-3 and the camera's eyepiece.

[NikonKev]

Wow first one i've guessed correctly !!

Ok try this one.

 

[JennyGW]

Wow first one i've guessed correctly !!

Well done, Kev! I've never seen one of those Nikon's before!

 

[NikonKev]

Well done, Kev! I've never seen one of those Nikon's before!

Thanks, it was more luck than judgement

 

[Nod]

Originally made for old film bodies but also fits some DSLRs (including my D700) and the X-Pro1 Fuji. Handy for low level work when you get older!!!

 

[The Weaver]

NikonKev suggest you put another one up, since the filename of the photo is "Quadcopter 20Controller_zps0rgbfnyq.jpg"!. Unless of course, it is a clever ruse to throw us of the scent!

Love it I did exactly that but didn't expect that someone would actually try and pull the image info......

So Cat's outa the bag...It's nothing to do with flying machines.

 

[JennyGW]

hahah .. nice one Kev

 

[JennyGW]

I think we need a clue

 

[NikonKev]

You can have an illuminating clue no problem.
Its made by Nikon.

 

[Nod]

Hinge area of a speedlight.

 

[NikonKev]

Nope.

 

[Nod]

Light meter?

 

[Mark twiglet]

Nikon macro speed light ring?

 

[NikonKev]

Nikon macro speed light ring?

We have a winner.
Nikon R1C1 attachment ring and the corner of a SB-R200.





Over to you Mark

 

[JennyGW]

I think we're due a Canon question
