Camp Snap is tapping into the blind box and bag charm craze with the launch of the CS-8 Micro, the tiniest version yet of its viral CS-8 camcorder, with each camera sold in a blind box that keeps its color a surprise until unboxing.

After launching its CS-8 camcorder last year, Camp Snap introduced the CS-8 Mini — which is less than half the size of the original — earlier this month.

Now, Camp Snap is launching its smallest version of the camcorder yet: the CS-8 Micro. The brand has turned its viral CS-8 camcorder into a fully functional, collectible bag charm that records video and audio. The miniature camera will retail for $39.99.

There are six colors to collect.

Each camera comes in a mystery blind box, meaning its color remains unknown until it is unboxed. There are six possible colors to collect: four core shades (Hot Pink, Lilac, Lime and Orange), a rare Classic Black edition and an ultra-rare Glow in the Dark version.

Despite its small size, the 1.5-ounce camera includes several features designed to replicate the experience of using a traditional camcorder. Measuring just 3 inches wide, it records video and audio and is designed to capture everyday moments as short, vintage-style movies.

The camera also features five built-in film-style filters that recreate the appearance of 1990s home videos and classic 8mm film. An LCD screen allows users to frame their shots, but the camera does not offer instant playback. This design encourages users to record footage without immediately reviewing what they have captured.

The CS-8 Micro combines the look of vintage home video cameras with the growing popularity of collectible accessories. Designed to attach to bags, keys, backpacks or zippers, it functions as both a wearable accessory and a working camcorder.

Each CS-8 Micro comes with a pre-installed 4GB microSD memory card, a USB-C cable and a ball chain for attaching the camera to a bag or other accessory.

The CS-8 Micro launches November 16 for $39.99. It will be available through CampSnap.com, as well as at Target and Urban Outfitters, in time for the holiday shopping season.
