One $35 Super 8 film cartridge can only shoot roughly two and a half minutes of 24fps footage. Although it’s trying hard to be a traditional film camera, it can’t bear to be without some of today’s must-have features:
- a four-inch LCD viewfinder
- a microSD card for recording audio
- a Micro HDMI output for connecting an external monitor.
Charging is via Micro USB.
