✖ Via NASA Headquarters: “Neil floats in the tunnel connecting the LM And CM, using the TV to document Buzz doing a LM inspection” (photo from Magazine no 36, frame 5385; photo ID: AS11-36-5385.
“Magazine 36 was used during translunar coast and in lunar orbit.”
“”What you’re seeing here is an extra TV monitor attached to the cam with the ever-present gray tape. Early crews had no such monitor or other means of image control and complained about their inability to easily/properly point the camera inside the cramped quarters of their spacecraft, so this was what they were granted. The camera is the Westinghouse color model, essentially the same model that suffered the burnout on A12, only that this one is IVA-black while the A12 camera was EVA-white. Also note that the camera is actually held upside-down (that is, we’re seeing its top side), to capture the CM interior in proper alignment for the TV audience.”
