eBay Link: KARLO scope mount. Similar to Hebard?

I stumbled across this spotting scope bracket while searching around eBay. Has anyone ever seen or used a KARLO swing up scope mount? Obvious similarities (and differences) to the Hebard mount not withstanding, this one is cheap, and the seller has several available.

This is not my listing, I don't know the seller, and I have no stake in this item.

Can't go wrong for $5.00. Just for curiosity's sake.

Older scope mount for spotting scopes without threaded tripod mounting feature.

 Right? It's a cheap experiment, if nothing else.

I ordered one. Should be a simple modification to use a 1/4"-20 scope mount instead of the hose clamp arrangement. I'm hoping that the bracket and pivot are reasonable.

Since most places are out of stock on the Hebard mount I figured others might be interested in seeing this.

There were 3 available when I found the listing. I bought 2. Later, the listing said 5 available, so the seller may have edited the listing. If other people purchased these, they might wonder why the sudden interest. They may also have raised the price from $5 to $10 plus shipping.
