FAQ:
What is the CS-8 Mini and how does it work?
The CS-8 Mini is a retro-inspired digital video camera, like a modern take on the Super 8. You hold the trigger to record, can’t see your videos until you get home, and it comes with 5 filters and 4 aspect ratios to capture real-life moments with a nostalgic vibe.

Nope — video only. No photo mode.
How long can I record?
The included 4GB card holds around 30 minutes of footage. Works with up to 128GG SD card which will be up to 16 hours of video
Do filters apply after recording?
Filters are baked in while filming. You can edit the videos in post, if you would like!
Can I watch videos on the camera?
Nope — and that’s the point. There’s no screen or playback, so you’re not overthinking shots. Just shoot and stay in the moment.
How does recording work?
Each time you pull and release the trigger, it saves a new video clip. One press = one file saved as a MP4 File

Plug it into your device with the included USB-C cable. It shows up like a flash drive, and you can drag and drop your clips.

Yep. It comes ready to go with a pre-installed memory card and a USB-C cable for charging and transferring videos.
What do the different aspect ratios mean?
The CS-8 Mini lets you choose from four aspect ratios depending on how you want to frame your shots:
-
9:16 – Perfect for vertical video like Instagram Reels or TikToks. Great for capturing moments on the go, full-frame.
-
1:1 – A square format that works well for Instagram posts or a retro, photo booth-style vibe.
-
4:3 – A classic format used in old-school TVs and camcorders. Great for a nostalgic look.
