The Velbon LB-2 is a super weird thing that I have never seen before. Basically, it's a configurable flash bracket: each arm has two joints, and each joint has a rotating attachment block with a cold shoe, a 1/4" bolt, and a 3/4" inner thread with a 1/4" bushing. It is very strange, but it sure looks like it might come in handy for... something, even though it never doesn't look like a panicking robot. Attaches to a 1/4" or 3/8" thread, and provides a 1/4" thread for camera attachment.
