SX-70 on a tripod

[Fintan]

Can anyone suggest a way to mount an SX-70 on a tripod?

You mean without the SX-70 tripod accessory? I've tried before but its kinda hard without those things.

Duct tape?

I can't remember if the original SX-70 has a tripod socket but the Sonar version does. I had both of these and I don't remember if I ever use the original one on a tripod. I did use the Sonar version on a tripod and in fact I dropped and broke it when trying to mount it on a tripod in total darkness. I was brand new, I just got home from the store where I bought it. Lukily the store gave me a new one.

There is a tripod accessory bracket, Polaroid part #111, which clips on to the sides of the body and is wedge shaped so that the camera is level when the tripod head is. B&H has a used one in stock for $10.

1/4 20 screw and a lot of super glue, this is what I did with my holga before they started making them with mounts.

Thanks for the posts, I didnt realise there was an official holder. Not sure whether to do a diy job or buy the holder. But B&H shipping comes to a massive $35 for their holder, thanks for the tip but wouldnt pay that.

Thanks again,

Thanks,

FWIW, I saw an SX-70 and tripod adapter in an auction site listing this morning.

Apparently, another company is selling an SX-70 film.

www.sx70blend.com

I've never used it.

For SX70 and other polaroid film plus accesories such as an ND filter to let you use 600 film in your SX70 also try www.unsaleable.com

I have no affiliation with this company

Years after the original post I know (!), but for anyone else looking for a tripod head that fits the SX-70, the tiny Manfrotto 484RC2 mini ballhead with q/r plate works well.
