Polaroid Pro Redhat

The Polaroid Pro Redhat Superheadz is a camera from Polaroid. It is based on the Polaroid One600 Pro in terms of functions and other features.

The edition was made for the Superheadz brand. The body of the camera is in two colors, silver and black. Next to the lens there is a small illustration of a figure with a red cap. The imprint “Superheadz Special Editon Red Hat One 600” can also be found on the camera body.

The Polaroid Pro Redhat impresses with its ease of use. Many adjustment options common to other types of cameras have been eliminated. The ease of use results in a low barrier to entry and thus a wide range of uses.

If you are planning a wedding or a party, the camera is a good choice for taking pictures. But it’s also a lot of fun to use on vacation.

The lens is a 100 mm fixed focal length. It cannot be interchanged. There is also no way to adjust the aperture. The model does not have a zoom function. To zoom, you have to get closer to the subject. To avoid blurry pictures, the distance to the subject must not be less than 60 cm.

Of course, the camera must not be without an integrated flash. The flash fires automatically and can be used up to a distance of 3 meters from the subject. Especially when the lighting conditions are not optimal, one is often grateful for the flash. If you want, you can use the red-eye prevention mode.

The camera can be triggered via the built-in self-timer. The lead time is twelve seconds. In this mode, it makes sense to mount the camera on a tripod. There is a corresponding thread on the bottom for this.

The camera’s display shows the number of remaining pictures, among other things. A light/dark slider gives the possibility to influence the exposure. There are no other options for the user.

Films for the Polaroid Pro Redhat

Of course, instant film is also needed for the camera. The original film stock is no longer manufactured. But there is a new edition under the same name from a new company.

There is a suitable color film and a black and white film for the camera. For color photos, the Polaroid Color Film for 600* is the right choice. Those who prefer to take monochrome pictures can use the Polaroid B&W Film for 600*. They are very popular among a large number of photographers.

One box of a film contains eight photos. In any case, the photosensitive material should not come into contact with light. The film material should be stored and dried in the dark.

According to the specifications of the film format, one picture measures 10.8 x 8.8 cm. An area of 7.7 x 7.7 cm is provided for the actual image. The remaining area is filled by a white surface. Editions with colored frames are also offered.

Is there any compatibility of the Instax films? No, Fuji’s films are not compatible with the Polaroid camera.

Batteries

Do you need batteries for the Polaroid Pro Redhat? With this type of camera, you will find the battery in the cassette along with the unexposed images. It contains enough power for all unexposed images in the film cassette. Even if the flash is used. So every time you change the film, you also change the battery. This is the only battery needed for the camera.

The film cassette with the battery should not be disposed of in household waste. The battery should be recycled accordingly.

Similar models

If you can’t find a camera, you can resort to alternatives. The first alternative is the Polaroid Pro. It is similar in terms of functionality and the same film material is exposed.

One may also want cameras from other manufacturers as an alternative. Two non-Polaroid instant cameras are the LomoInstant Wide* and Instax Mini 11*. Suitable film stock is still produced for both cameras.
