If you look at the link I posted, you'll see that it's a direct link to a jpeg image, and should work fine. I'm not sure what's wrong with it.
In any case, you can click the link you'll see the latest mystery object.

Stop stalling, start guessing!  :icon_rolleyes:

The link is just fine, i have no idee what that thing is, but the link is fine :)

Could be a sharing/permission/ country issue then?

And the thing..... reminds me of a surveyors level thingy

Elmojo

Nope, not a level, though it is used to adjust something....

Adjuster for sights on a firearm?

Closer, but no.
It is somewhat firearm-related, but is not part of a gun.

axexandru

Is it used to mount something on a gun? Like a laser sight?

Elmojo

Sooo close...
yes, used to mount something to a gun, could be a laser I guess, but that's not what it's really made for.
One more guess should get it.  :cheers:

Close enough!
It's an adjustable mount for an IR illuminator.
The knobs let me adjust the beam to be centered in the night vision rig at whatever range I'm currently looking.

Ok axe, it's all you now  :up:

Oooh, I think I know exactly what that is, but I'm not sure if I have anything good to post right now.
I also can't seem to recall the correct name for it.... :dunno_black:

Janx101

Yep Mojo!  .. deffo one of them!  ... umm thingummy! ... damn! :/

Elmojo

Exactly!
I know what it is, but not the proper name, since I've never used one, just seen them used.
If I find something interesting to post, I'll go ahead and guess and see if I'm right.

axexandru

Well if you can tell me what is it used for it will be good enough for me

Ok.
I think it's a tilesetter's square.

axexandru

It is a square but not for tile setting.

Elmojo

Aw man, I thought I had it!
There was a tilesetter on a job I worked on once that had a square exactly like that one. I recall the odd finish on it.
We used to joke with him about his "tin foil" square. :)
Oh well, shows what I know!

axexandru

Maybe it was a square like this one. I use it for a different job but maybe it could be use for tilesetting too
