When the CampSnap craze first kicked off, we built something simple — a screen-free digital camera that captured the magic of living in the moment. What we didn’t expect was just how many people would fall in love with the retro feel and modern convenience of it.
We get it — film is beautiful. And while we know we can’t truly replicate it, what mattered to us (and apparently, a whole lot of you) wasn’t just the aesthetic — it was the experience.
There’s something lost in the age of unlimited do-overs.
You take 50 photos just to post one… delete the rest.
But some of the best memories aren’t the perfectly framed, perfectly posed moments.
They’re the blurry ones. The pinky-in-the-frame ones.
Eyes half-closed, mid-laugh, caught-in-the-action shots.
That’s real life.
So… what if we brought that same magic to video?
We were digging through the attic and found my dad’s old Super 8 camera. It was heavy, clunky, and absolutely beautiful. It made us wonder:
What if we made a digital version of that?
Enter: The CS8 — a retro-inspired camcorder built for intentional memories.
It’s got the feel of something vintage, with the ease of something modern.
Why You’ll Love the CS8:
🎞️ Video Ratios on the Fly
Switch between 1:1, 9:16, 4:3, or 16:9 — no apps, no editing, just toggle and roll.
🎨 Swappable Filters
Shoot with color presets that give your videos the vibe you’re going for. Think of it like film rolls… but with options.
🎬 Trigger-Style Recording
Hold down the trigger to record. Let go when you’re done. It’s the perfect tool for capturing candid reels, concert clips, or spontaneous b-roll of your life.
👁️ Live Viewfinder Screen
Yes — there’s a small screen inside the viewfinder, but it’s only there to show you a live view of what you’re recording.
No playback. No menus. No distractions.
It’s Big. It’s Bold. It’s a Memory Maker.
The CS8 isn’t built for your pocket — it’s built to be carried.
It turns heads at concerts. It gets smiles at recitals. It starts conversations when you’re out with friends.
Because when you bring it with you, you’re saying:
“I’m here to remember this.”
