It seems that the "Power Ranger" is no longer available. Anyway, I'm a fervent follower of KISS methodology so... Why not, instead of mocking with the camera hardware, you do it with the cartridge instead? For example: create a reusable battery "addon" (maybe adhesive) for i-Type film packs using button batteries (which are flat)? Think of this as the ND filter for SX-70: you won't lose/risk anything in the camera by adding it...

Hi Jerry! Nice video! I was wondering; I thought about using 4 AA batteries to do sort of the same thing 'cause I saw a few people do it that way but you are using just one battery. Can you maybe tell us what amount of voltage/ampere/watt it needs? Thanks!

Just tried it out, works great !! Took over 3 hours to charge from 75 to 100 percent, but got it installed and working no problems. Thanks again for the card tip and video. Cheers !!

Hi Jerry--very informative video. I have a MiNT670S, and I'm interested in the Power Ranger. I'm at my wits end. There are two models for the Power Ranger. One is for SX70 cams, and the second, higher power and more expensive one for the Sonar series cams. I've gotten info from both directions: The lower power version works fine with the 670S, but Rezivot suggests the more powerful version. I don't want to fry the Time Machine, so I hesitate to order the version Rezivot suggests, but they did mention something about overload protection getting wiggy with the lower power version. Which version did you use in this video, with both the Mint and a Sonar? I'm really confused; any help would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work!--Steve

In this video it is the "lower power" version as that is all they had at the time. I do have the newer *680" higher power one now as well... But only use it on my 690 and 680. The lower power one will work fine on you 670S.

@@JerryMilton Thank you, Jerry. Rezivot suggested I buy the higher powered one "as there is a shutoff issue". The Mint 670 is an SX-70, non SONAR, and without the flash; I assumed that was the more appropriate one. "PolaroidJay" on Instagram has used the lower-powered version without any issues, and was surprised that Rezivot would suggest the higher powered version. I thank you sincerely for your input and experience. Be well; namaste.--Steve Burns

Just got one and installing it now on my SLR 680 as I watch your video. It’s charging up actually and I’ve already made the holes in the leather and waiting to mount it. I agree about the clip/bracket retainer inside the camera. I’m afraid to remove it because of damage that might happen from a screwdriver slip or snap and I don’t want to alter the camera too much. Great tip using a card to help insert the film by the way, I’ll definitely do it that way. I’ll comment back letting you know how it all went and works when it’s done charging. Great video, thanks !!!!

The credit card routine works like a charm ...plus I always have one w/ me on the field. I have the 680 rezivot model as well ... Works brilliantly as expected. I only wish it had a self power down/ wake up for when I leave it on by accident.

@@JerryMilton Hey Jerry, I think I accidentally bought the SX70 version. I have a SLR 680 is there a difference that you know of? Thanks
