Looks like decent equipment in use - metal chassis of course.

...Astronauts have used hand-held cameras to photograph the Earth for more than 30 years, beginning with the Mercury missions in the early 1960s. Crewmembers on NASA missions have taken nearly 400,000 photographs with Hasselblad, Linhof, Rolleiflex, and Nikon hand-held cameras. About 85 percent of these photographs are Earth-looking views. The rest show satellite deployments, extra-vehicular activities, and astronaut activities in the cabin...

Amazing pictures but makes you laugh looking at the first one, looks like something heath robinson put together, rather than a multimillion or billion dollar spacecraft/satellite/thingy, still it doesn't need to look good just be functional i suppose

Also great find pip
