Yeah, pretty sure that's just a copy paste error. It's in the Pentax flash section, and at the top it says 'For Pentax'.

Polaroid Dua Flash The Polaroid Digital Dua Flash PL160 provides the perfect combination of light sources for today’s digital cameras including DSLR, SD camcorders, or HD camcorders with still picture capabilities. The flash features a camera-synchronized power head that automatically adjusts light’s beam spread to match the focal length of the camera lens. The head can be adjusted left to any angle between zero and 180 degrees, or to the right to any angle between zero and 90 degrees.

I was just about to post about these to ask if they're PTTL, having seen two models on Amazon. They don't state that they are, but they state that they're compatible in auto modes, which suggests they are. Each of the two Pentax models has a review, and these also seem to indicate that they work in auto mode.
These seem to be lower models than the two on SRS (which I didn't know about).

'Auto' mode is quite a different thing from TTL or PTTL. The SRS listing states they are TTL which means they will only be compatible with Pentax DSLRs up to the *istDS.
Auto means that the flash will measure its own exposure and you set the aperture according to the ISO in use. Nothing at all wrong with that.

I bought one, they are pTTL, and but had to return it as it has not got a slave mode as the 160 model states
K5iis and a couple of lenses.

Anyone got any thoughts on the new Polaroid flashes that've appeared in SRS?

Seems like they might be a bit on the basic side feature wise, can't really find much info about them yet.
Has anyone seen one in the flesh? Any idea how effective the LEDs are?
