FPP #490 Electronic Flash Holder (for 400 Series Folding Polaroid Land Cameras)*
Item Description
A Film Photography Store exclusive item engineered in our very workshop! Your days of using expensive, old-fashioned flash cubes are over when you purchase the FPP Cold Shoe Electronic Flash Holder.
The Polaroid 490 mount will fit perfectly atop your 400 series folding Polaroid Land “pack” camera and has a “cold shoe” for any electronic flash that has a PC cord. The PC cord from the flash fits into the PC socket of your camera.
* The FPP #490 Flash Holder will fit in Polaroid Land Camera model #’s 420, 430, 440, 450, Countdown 70 and Countdown 90.
We at FPP have done ample testing and have found that the electronic flash works best at 4 – 5 feet from your subject. Longer distances will require you to adjust the exposure to “lighten” with experimentation. Also note that Polaroid Corporation never intended electronic flashes to be used with their pack cameras so use of electronic flash with your Polaroid camera is at your own risk. Although we have never had a problem using electronic flash with a Polaroid Land Camera, FPP is not responsible for damage to your camera when using your electronic flash.
FPP thanks you for your consideration in the hope that you will have many hours of vintage photo fun with our Flash Bracket!
