Pretty sure I got this component nailed:

 

This appears to be a “Pyramid” compact tripod. There are a bunch of ’em on ebay in the United Kingdom, largely for reasonable prices; but international shipping is anything but reasonable these days. Fortunately I found a vaguely reasonably priced tripod in the US that, while not called out as a “Pyramid,” appears to be exactly the same thing:

Features to note, common to the prop and to the “Pyramid”:

1) black shafts

2) silver caps on either end

3) Black elliptical rubber “feet”

4) Rounded ends on bottom caps with knurling

5) Slightly enlarged diameters at the tops of the upper caps

The prop tripod seems to be either missing the top camera-platform, or it’s folded down out of view.

Once again, I’d *swear* that somewhere along the line I saw a photo of the prop with the camera removed and set up on the tripod. Anybody have any pointers to that…
