Taylor Swift has had many chic accessories over the years, but her recent accessories as of late is an unexpected one.
Swifties know that the “Blank Space” singer has always been into photography, capturing meaningful moments on retro-inspired tech. While she’s best known for her use of the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV, the musician has added a new retro model into her rotation, as seen during her appearance in the stands at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Dec. 14 game. The musician captured moments in the stands and on the field with Camp Snaps’ CS-8 Digital Video Camera, a retro-inspired model currently retailing for $199.
The model was made in limited quantities and can be shipped to Swifties immediately after purchase, so it’ll arrive just in time to open under the Christmas tree. To ensure your CS-8 arrives in time for the holidays, we recommend ordering ASAP. Camp Snap’s tech has sold out numerous times, thanks in part to Swift, so if you want the camera, you’d better get your hands on it now.
The digital video camera is inspired by the Super 8 camera — just reimagined for today. The camera is rechargeable, features no playback screen and no instant previews. When you film on a CS-8, you can choose your aspect ratio controlled with the crank of a dial, capturing cinematic scenes at a music festival or classic home-movie moments. Users can also scroll through vintage-inspired filters to change up the scene, giving your videos an old-timey feel with black-and-white or a textured look with the analog setting.
A built-in microphone captures crisp and clear audio, ideal for concertgoers, while a built-in stand stabilizes your hand, letting you capture steady footage every time. When you press the trigger, it records a new video file, which is excellent for capturing moments in short bursts. There’s also a wrist strap that helps keep the camera tethered to you at all times. The digital camera comes with a 4GB memory card, which holds around 30 minutes of footage. It does, however, work with an up to 128GB SD card, which will record up to 16 hours of video.
The only downside is there’s no screen to play back footage. You can’t watch or delete clips until you transfer them to your device. The point is to keep the user present in the moment, filming what comes naturally and capturing moments that mean something.
