Polaroid Mod

An analog instant with a creative-mode dial on the camera — split shot, double exposure, motion freeze, and light painting — plus a brightness dial for hands-on exposure.

Modes on the dial

Four creative modes sit on a physical dial around the lens, not behind menus. Split Shot uses the included filter to put two halves on one frame. Motion Freeze flashes at the end of the exposure. Double Exposure layers two shots. Light Painting traces long-exposure trails.

Analog build

Two-lens autofocus covers close-up and distance zones. It takes i-Type and 600 film, charges over USB-C, and runs on a rechargeable battery good for roughly fifteen packs. Graphite body, classic Polaroid stripe, about 520 grams.
