White gaff tape, so I can mark my own distances which I find are different than stock. Works for me well.

There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!
Yeah, the distance markings were a challenge. We could have pad printed them, but then they could rub off.
I find that a white china marker is helpful to keep track of a handful of distances. When you recalibrate, you can easily rub the mark off.
My closest focal distance is 1 meter after calibration using SA 90mm f8 lens.

After practice, I found the Travalwide could bear:
Polaroid 405, 545i,Fuji PA-145, "23"(or 66, 67) 4x5 Graphic, ...
Could not bear:
4x5 Grafmatic,Polaroid 550, Fuji PA-45, Horseman 612, Toyo 67(69)/45,...
All because of the position of the Travalwide still spring~
Ben might not see too many different 4x5 holders before. However, it should hold 4x5 Grafmatic at least as a Quick-shoot camera.
I believe it's very easy to make an adjustment to fit other holders onto the 1st generation mold.

Instead of making the distance scale numbers raised, they should have been recessed--it would have been easy to fill them with white paint. Since I prefer a scale in feet, I'm going to make a printable template in illustrator and use white markings on a black background.
