Sorry for the delay but the gizmo quiz will be up within 30 minutes.

I'm on pacific time and sick (thanks to my virulent wife) so I slept in a bit late today.

Instead of a new HINT, let's recap all the best clues so far which might help seeing them together:

# it has something to do with seeing, visual

# something sits on it/attaches to it

# find it in a specialty store for professionals or hobbyists

# what's attached to it MAY have an LCD or TV like screen

# it's not a punch, but some people that use it might get punched

# smaller than a basket ball

# you hold what it attaches to

# it moves

huh? um... NO!

Read the recap of clues, you may be PUNCHED, but you aren't boxing.

Think more RED CARPET.

Never said it was a tripod, but it can be used with one :)

Nope...

You were so close.

I'm surprised only 2 of you are guessing, unless everyone else figured it out already.

Pretty much, could be on the tripod or hand held....

But what specifically is it called?

There's a name for this thing, it's all over the net.

Sorry, but I sanded the part number and brand off the front with a photo editor :)

Being new to the quiz and 1st time hosting - is there a time limit?

If nobody gets it specifically, do I show them what it is at the end of the day or do we just let it run until we have a winner?

Never played it before. It looks like their's just us two so I'd post the answer now. 90 posts no answers. People aren't going to guess it easily

________________

If you don't give the answer:

________

1. Would the object be hard to guess because it doesn't follow standard English rules:

ie gnome.

2. Is it a brand name:

ie Sony

Not usually...

Until someone is a winner, or you pass it off to someone, or you postpone it for a while...

it's not a funny name or a brand name, it's actually an everyday easy to spell word from a company that uses that name as part of their name too :)
