When Taylor Swift showed up to watch her fiancé, Travis Kelce, and the Chiefs take on the Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium on December 14, a lot of people were focused on her red-and-gold ombré Ulla Johnson coat. Me personally? I had my eyes on her retro-inspired video camera. What was she using, you ask? That would be the Camp Snap CS-8 Digital Video Camera, which is a digital, screen-free version of the iconic Kodak Super 8 film camera.
And while those cameras can cost up to four figures (not even including the cost of the expensive film and processing fees), you can score Taylor’s CS-8 for a mere $199.
With the Camp Snap 8 (aka CS-8), you can record unlimited video footage with multiple different vintage-inspired filters. You can zoom in and out on the camera, record audio with the built-in microphone, check on battery levels, and even have it film in 9:16 (for TikTok or Reels), 16:9 (for a cinematic, widescreen look), 1:1, or 4:3.
The included SD card can hold about 30 minutes of footage, but you can also swap it out with one that has up to 128 gigabytes for up to 16 hours of video. And since there’s no film involved, all you need to do is plug it into your computer or phone using a USB-C cord to upload all of your footage!
So...where can ya get yourself a CS-8? Camp Snap has been releasing them in small batches that keep selling out, but according to the website, the limited production run is officially finished, which means if you want to get one, you’ll wanna do so quick.
Order directly from Camp Snap to get in time for Christmas (because this cutie makes the perfect gift, IMO) or from Huckberry (though unfortunately, ordering from Huckberry means you won’t receive until after the holidays).
