As seen very briefly in the movie Weekend at Bernie's II (1993), what is the yellow box like thing this lady is carrying? Camera? Maybe, but what make or model?

Could it be a slightly weird handbag? There seems to be another yellow thing just to the left, maybe a shoulder strap?

Good eye, but she's moving fast in the frame of the video, so that's just an artifact of my shody screenshot.

Well, that's what I originally thought, maybe it's the other half of what should be a pair of the things she's hold slung over her shoulder. She's literally only on screen for a second or two, so I only ever saw the one big yellow thing in front.

So weird! Hope you can find out what it is :-)

EDIT - oh wait, you did!
