It's meant to be a grip for a camera. It'll do about 30,000 rotations during its life.

"Camera" = GoPro; Hasselblad; or what

Or Fuji GX680 ?

I woud have thought a small tripod or monopod with a swivel head would be ideal and would include the correct thread to attach a camera.

5mm rod length has not been mentioned but 'rod' infers is long in relation to the diameter, as a 5mm rod is not going to take a lot of weight the camera must be small and light.

If the bracket/camera is hand turned it would have to rotate quite slowly to make any sense of the captured image (or have really high shutter speed). In any event 30k revolutions is quite a lot (might be over years though) so its sounds like it might be power driven?

Maybe the project is a upmarket prototype panoramic selfie stick?

I reckon it's a Google-like street cam for cycle routes. Helmet mounted.
