This thing is a cover for a Mount for my Raspberry Pi Camera, to be slipped over the mount from the top.

The mount comes with a tripod, and is compatible with Raspberry Pi Cameras V2 and V3. It is only about 4€ in Germany, and can be found by google searching for:
"Mount für Raspberry Pi Kameras, 1/4" Stativgewinde, inkl. Mini Stativ"

Note that the tripod is not made as solid as those for real cameras, but on the other hand Raspberry Pi Cameras are rather lightweight.
So it is good enough for my Raspberry Pi Camera, having a view on my 3D printer while working.

If necessary, the mount can be attached to any other camera tripod with its 1/4" thread.
