The smallest version of Camp Snap’s retro digital camcorder fits on your keychain
Last week, Camp Snap launched a miniaturized version of its screen-free CS-8 video camera that was half the size of the original with a smaller grip designed to be easier for kids to hold.

Camp Snap has introduced a micro-sized version of its retro digital camcorder, the CS-8 Micro, which can fit on a keychain. This latest addition is even smaller than the previous CS-8 Mini, measuring just three inches in length and weighing a mere 1.5 ounces. The CS-8 Micro is available for $39.99 on Camp Snap's website and Urban Outfitters, and comes in a sealed mystery box with colors such as hot pink, lilac, lime, and orange being more readily available, while black and glow-in-the-dark versions are rarer.
Despite its diminutive size, the CS-8 Micro retains several key features of its predecessors. It still offers an 8x digital zoom and five built-in filters, including vintage effects to emulate the look of 8mm film. However, unlike its larger counterparts, the Micro features a small LCD screen used solely as a viewfinder, as it does not allow for video watching, editing, or deletion directly on the device.
Instead, users must transfer their captured videos to a phone or computer using a USB-C cable or remove the included 4GB microSD card for playback using a card reader. The Micro's battery life is estimated to last around 30 to 45 minutes on a full charge, and it can store approximately 45 to 60 minutes of video on its 4GB microSD card.
