This thing appears to fit a hot shoe but when mounted on a camera the center contact does not always fit the center contact on all cameras, the shoe is too long. There is a lens in the open end that screws in and out for focus perhaps, but does not unscrew completely. behind the lens is what appears to be a jumbo LED. I cannot find any way to open it except for unscrewing the shoe base which reveals a single wire from the center pin into the device.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acedigital Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 <p>Looks like a viewfinder for a camera that maybe doesnt have one?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel_jansen Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 <p>Good guess considering that you can't see that the other end is closed. Found this in the shop where I work and nobody seemed to know where it came from or what it was. Today I found in the same vicinity, a quality control inspection certificate for a "DI illuminator" manufactured by Zenit. So it is probably an infrared light for cheapo night-vision. Can anyone think of a good use for this? super long range tv remote?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
