I understand the question or believe I do. You are asking if anyone still uses a speed light that fits onto the side of a camera and had the general appearance of a potato masher. I have never owned one of that type but do remember er them in common usage decades ago. I don't know if anyone makes them any more.

Paul don't they make electric hand mixers in a mirrorless model nowadays? Asking for a friend.

I obviously misunderstood. Such a speedlight must be before my time since I've probably never seen one.

I still have one but it cannot be used on newer cameras because of the high trigger voltage.
It's a Metz 45 CT-1. You could take pictures from almost a block away back in the day.

My wife still uses a hand masher. Favorite dish is shepards pie - mashed potato, corn and ground hamburger then heated in the oven.
.... and topped with cheese before it goes in the oven?

Still have a couple and if I were setting up a permanent set up I may think about trying them again

I still have one made by Starblitz and use it when I need a flash on my RB67 ProS - perfect for a MF film camera. Mine actually has two heads, one which can be tilted and a small one which points straight ahead - if I remember correctly, you can use either or both.

That is, does anyone! I started to ask the question differently, but after posting, noticed my question turned into gutter language! Sorry.

I still have one but it is a double A battery hog and the only cameras I'd use it are my Rolleicord III and my Pentax 6x7. So it sits on a shelf, a monument to the past. But it WAS a hell of a flash unit in its day.

I knew exactly what you were talking about. I used to want one but used old 283s instead back in the day.

10# battery pack (black on the bottom, blue on top) sounds like Graflex. My boss had one when I was in my 20s. It looked like an ugly metal pocketbook.
I still have my Honeywell Strobonar 65D, with a 510-volt battery pack. I can't get the #497 battery pack any more, but it still flashes with the AC Adapter. The recycle time was 1 second with a fresh battery.
