Great  pictures!

Agreed, it is a bit of a mystery:

- Not sure what  the camera is focused on ... would appear not to be the 
model
- Based  upon the other cameras, the bottom turret port does not appear to 
be the  active one.
- Presume the lens  with a sunshade is the widest one.  Wonder if that is 
the active  port?
- The cable is beefy, perhaps coax; at least one connector  appears to be 
UHF.
- The device appears to be attached to or hanging off  of the lens.
- Lots of slack in the cable would permit the turret to  rotate.
- One of the tally lights is missing its red lens.
- Perhaps  not a microphone as turret rotation noise would be significant.

With  no room for a floor director on the platform, might it be a speaker 
so the  director can pass on directions?

Else, I like the thought that it  could be a remote light meter sensor.  
However, if pedestal and gain  can be set back at the rack, why?

Why couldn't it be a motorized iris, controlled remotely?   Would come in 
handy outdoors; gets my  vote.

Regards,
Steve

This has been an interesting thread, Thanks very for posting the pictures.

The Gizmo on the lens is hard to identify, the lens is Not a zoon and the

attachment of the device at the front of the lens is wrong for any kind of

iris or focus drive.

Looking carefully at the best resolution pics from Bob the cable does not

enter the camera? It seems to loop through one of the rear feet on the

camera base and head off down and else ware. 

It's a bit of a mystery, it could be a microphone or maybe a sensor for a

remote lightmeter, don't forget this is an experimental prototype camera and

the picture is a posed one rather than a real production use.
