Electronic Slider!!
A Dolly?
Looks like a sound system so you can hear music while taking pictures…
maybe you work on an electric followfocus?
is it an automatic pan-tool? Hmm…
Gyro stabilisation? ^^ Curious to see how effective a DIY version could be!
I’m guessing it’s a motorised panning rig.
A bomb
I think its for your za za slider, dolly..
Maybe an adaption of this?

Just kidding,..
Let us know!
I would say it looks like an electronic turntable of sorts. Mount the camera to it then you can electronically spin the camera.
