The Hawkeye Pocket Instamatic was a plastic camera which used the 110 cartridge film and was produced from 1973 to 1979. It had a sliding film advance button on the bottom of the camera which was cycled using the operator's thumb. There was a socket on the top of the camera for MagiCubes. The camera measures 4 1/2" wide x 1" tall x 2 1/8" deep. Weight was 3 and 1/2 ounces.
