Menon, Vice President Electronics, Flipkart shared, “Consumer traffic to the action photography category has been continuously increasing over the past few months, and we are excited to tie up with Polaroid to enhance our category portfolio. The youth segment makes up for a large chunk of Flipkart’s consumer base and we expect this segment to fuel growth for action photography. There are several adventure seekers across the country who do not have access to products like action cameras that match their lifestyle and we aim to provide a range of world class products and brands that cater to this segment.”[/quote_box_center]

Action could mean many things to many people- It could mean extreme sports, actively watching a game at a stadium, experimenting with a skateboard or a surfboard. However, one thing is common- the urge to record the moment to relive it at leisure. Even though there are several options in the action camera market to fulfill most dreams, the most obvious choice for the adventurous though not suicidal is the iconic Polaroid. While it is synonymous with “instant” the new Polaroid range of Action Cameras with thoughtful accessories, does not fail to impress.
