In short

The pocket-sized device measures about three inches in length and retails for $39.99 in blind-box packaging featuring assorted standard and rare colors. While the video resolution drops to 720p compared to older 4K or 2.7K models, it compensates with an 8x digital zoom and five specialized filters that simulate 8mm analog grain. Battery life is rated for up to 45 minutes of active recording on a single charge. Customers can transfer their captured footage using either a direct USB-C connection or the bundled 4GB microSD card.

It’s around three inches long and weighs just 1.5 ounces so you can hang it from your keys and, like its larger predecessors, it can capture video using one of five built-in filters.
