Unknown accessories by Soligor - please help!

[Summitarix]

Hello everyone,
I need some help with identifying 2 accessory items that came with a Graflex camera in its case but doenst seem to belong to the Graflex.
First there is a handgrip with an unknown accessory shoe and a trigger button. Second there is a kind of a bar with an adjustable shoe (same as on the grip) that can be mounted to the handgrip. Both items are marked "Soligor".
Does anyone know the original use of the items?
Thanks for any hints!
Regards from Germany, Uwe

I don't know if these two are supposed to mate with each other, but the one of the left looks like a handle, with a trigger for a shutter release cord, and a red button that might have to do with flash (?). The one of the right looks like the mount for a camera, probably part of a potato masher flash. The part in the middle looks like a tripod mount that is part of a quick release for a tripod. Those aren't usually interchangeable between tripod manufacturers.

If I am wrong or have left something out, I am sure someone will jump in and clarify.

It's a bracket for a Medium Format Camera.

The red button is for a shutter release cord (looks missing) that is screwed into the camera, the white button is to release the handle or perhaps allow it to rotate.

The bracket has a quick release mount in the middle to allow you to remove the camera from the bracket rather than unscrewing the 1/4x20.

Very handy thing for a 'Blad or TLR (of your choice). I had one from Vivitar that was not as fancy I modified for my 645 as I used it as an SLR, reattached the handle at about 45 degrees. Worked really well, when the camera did.

Will not work with a Graflex, she is a bit too large.

Hope this helps.
