Overview
After introducing new color options for its screen-free CS-8 video camera, Camp Snap announced a miniature version that is less than half the size of the original. The new CS-8 Mini carries forward the retro design inspired by vintage Super 8mm film cameras, featuring a smaller grip designed for younger hands and a step down in resolution. While the original can capture 4K videos, the Mini is limited to 2.7K.
Camp Snap Made a Smaller Kid-Friendly Version of Its Retro Digital Camcorder
The Camp Snap CS-8 Mini is less than half the size of the original making it easier for kids to hold.
The CS-8 Mini is launching in blue, green, pink, and orange color options.
Pricing and Availability
The CS-8 Mini is available now through Camp Snap’s online store and Target for $149.99 in bright blue, orange, pink, and green color options. There is no screen, no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity, and no app to download. The Mini captures video to an included 4GB microSD card using a trigger-style recording button that creates a new clip every time it is pressed. Videos are downloaded to other devices either using a card reader or a direct connection with a USB-C cable.
Features and Filters
The Mini is designed to be easy and accessible for kids, but still includes a decent number of recording options borrowed from the larger version. There are four aspect ratios to choose from including 16:9 widescreen, 9:16 vertical, 1:1 square for easier sharing, and 4:3 emulating a retro home movie aesthetic. There is also up to 8x digital zoom available plus five film-style filters. In addition to a standard mode there are two vintage looks, an analog option that goes heavy on film grain and flickering, and black and white.
