Power Pack - External Power Source for Folding Cameras - Black

As more interesting i-Type film is introduced at a cheaper price point, SX-70 and 600 film users are often left out. The Power Pack is an external power source fueled by 4x AAA batteries that allows you to shoot I-Type film in folding Polaroid SX-70 and SLR 680 cameras. The Power Pack also features a standard 1/4" tripod mount and an optional strap lug for attaching your own camera strap. 

If you plan to use i-Type film in an SX-70 calibrated camera, you will need to install the provided ND filter onto the top of the i-Type film pack. If you are using i-Type film in an SLR 680 or 690, or a camera that has been calibrated to shoot 600 film, the ND filter should not be used.

Everything required to install the Power Pack, including:

• The Power Pack
• An optional attachment for adding strap lugs
• A plug that must be installed if you choose not to install the strap lugs
• A screwdriver with both 1mm square and Torx 4 bits
• 4x screws
• 4x AAA batteries
• 2x ND filters
