Two stupid tricks going on here simultaneously.
1. Multiple exposure. First at flash synch of 1/160th, second at 13 secs in the darkened room.
2. Second exposure lit by LED torch, after the candle is snuffed out.

SMC 28mm f3.5 with the #1 extension tube. Shot through a short piece of copper pipe held between the lens and the candle.
Thought it looked like a cat's eye :).

In 2015 I retired from the "Marine Division" of the corporation that started the Agawa Canyon freight then Tourist run. (Algoma Central Railroad/Corporation) The Marine Division also had in it's fleet among it's workhorses, a ship called the Agawa Canyon. I served as Chief Engineer on the "Canyon" or sometime "Agony Canyon", as it was referred by it's crew, as it plied the Great Lakes carrying millions of tons of bulk cargos from 1970 till it's retirement in 2010.
It also looks odd to not have the "Bear" in the round Algoma Central Railroad logo on the front of the Locomotive

I hope it works. However, if it has a bad head, those legs may be able to take a different head. With the Leica unit the lens can be used alone directly into a tripod socket if you don’t need any angle adjustments. Or the legs can take any head with a 1/4” socket.

The legs on that unit look similar to the design of the famous Leica table top tripod. I own one of the Leica units and can attest that while sturdy the leg design is annoying. The way it packs takes more room than necessary and the legs don’t work well unless the surface is reasonably flat. The upper portion of the Leica is fantastic and looks beefier than that tripod. So my input is that I’d expect the legs are sturdy and will handle a high load if the head will.

The more plus signs I see in a title or description, the less I trust it. Plus, it sounds like a generic cheap tripod that someone is slapping various brand labels on it (another red flag) to overinflate the selling price. I wouldn't pay more than $10 for something like that, and only use it with lightweight items.

I've got three of these - mine are all branded Polaroid with an insert where this one has "Pentax," and came via ebay.
They are quite sturdy and will easily hold up a K3/K1 as long as you don't put too big a lens on it (mostly too long - which will cause it to fall over!).
I have tended to use them, though, mostly as remote flash holders when product shooting.
I have also strapped one to my polar tracking mount so I could get an additional camera to "go along for the ride."
