Amazing

This is a great movie camera. Its fun, its unique, and draws attention. The retro movie camera is a great idea and still uses modern tech.

This is a great camera
on October 5, 2025
Posted by: Ethan M.
This is a great camera overall- I’m having fun with it! A few suggestions for a possible version 2:
- Threaded lens mount for diopters, lens hood and lens cap.
- Mini jack for an external mic (the built in one pics up too much noise from hands on the camera and is not great)
- more weight added in the handle to provide balance and make it feel more substantial
- Separate frame rate from the filters- so combining them the way you want is possible. One control for frame rate (single frame, 18fps, 24fps, 30fps) and one for the filters.
- An option for the trigger to lock, so that I can get myself on camera.
I know these suggestions don’t match the mission statement of the camera- but I feel the potential is there for a “pro” model that could attract another customer base for you.
Great job overall!
(Also- I am a professional stopmotion animator who got my start using super8. If you ever do decide to add a single frame option I’d love to test it and make some animation you can show)

Just used my CS-8 at a wedding. Everyone asked about it and wanted one for themselves. Of course I passed on website. Great camera. Looking forward to future products.

I love the simplicity of this camera. It brings back happy memories of my old super 8 camera. It keeps you in the moment. The fun of watching the video back is something to look forwards to when you get home.
It's more spontaneous, it's not complicated cated and I love it.

Great product! I’ve already been using it, and it’s a lot of fun. Audio recording isn’t the best, but it’s a small thing compared to all the aspect ratio options, filters available, and expandable memory for hours and hours of shooting before needing to dump the data.

A fun camera to play
on October 2, 2025

A fun camera to play with; while it feels just like a old super 8, the image is much sharoer and more colorful. The onlyhting I miss is the clicking of a super 8 motor while I shoot with it!
