The camera is an unused item found in the Team Fortress 2 files. It may have been created for use in the Source Filmmaker, or for a prototype Spectator class capable of recording movies of a match in realtime[1] without needing to record demo files. It appears to have been finished, as the model is highly detailed.
Trivia
A comparison of the logos.
- The camera is a lightly rebranded model of the Template:W, introduced in 1995. This would put it well outside the 1960s aesthetic of Team Fortress 2.
