Kodak might be bringing back Super 8 from the dead with its hybrid video camera, but sometimes you just want it to look like you’re shooting with a retro camera while not actually capturing the moments on film.
It’s times like these when you need Redrock Micro’s Retroflex S rig, a camera add-on designed to add stability and features to your camera while turning it into a retro-esque machine.
While the Retroflex S has been around for some time, Redrock Micro announced that it is now available for Sony’s A7-series mirrorless full-frame cameras. You can now stylize any one of Sony’s A7 II, A7S II, and A7R II cameras with the retro camera rig.
In addition to acting as a cage and platform for your camera, the Retroflex S also includes a handgrip with a built-in start/stop button for easy recording. For composing and reviewing footage, Redrock Micro includes an optical loupe and eyepiece, which should help block out any unwanted light, even when shooting in the middle of the day.
On the bottom of the cage, you’ll find an Arca-Swiss-compatible plate for easy transferring between the handgrip and tripods.
Below is a video review of the Retroflex S from Sony Artisan Michael Britt:
Sure, the device is a bit of a novelty, but its form is followed closely by function, making it a great tool for cinematographers who want to have a little fun while getting work done.
You can order the Retroflex S for $545 on Redrock Micro’s online store.
Fujifilm just gave its most popular instant camera a serious digital upgrade. The Instax Mini Evo 2 now comes with a touchscreen, larger sensor, and a video feature that captures four seconds before each photo. It is set to arrive by the end of November for $289.95.

Full-frame cameras tend to be chunky beasts, but Sigma wants to prove that big imaging doesn't need a big body. Enter the Sigma FP2, the successor to its tiny, boxy fp mirrorless camera. It keeps the same modular design but packs in some serious upgrades, including a 24.5-megapixel partially stacked full-frame sensor, improved autofocus, 6K video recording, and 70GB of built-in storage. Sigma calls it the world's smallest full-frame camera, and while it might be tiny, the same cannot be said for its price tag.
Sigma FP2 brings faster shooting and 6K video
A phone thermal camera is one of those tools you don’t think you need until the first time it saves you from an expensive problem, and the Thermal Master P3 just got easier to try. For Halloween, it’s discounted with the code THERMCAM10, a 10% cut that works out to $107 off the total. It’s also fresh off a win at the 2026 Tom’s Guide AI Awards for best phone thermal camera, which is the kind of third-party nod that separates a serious tool from the cheap clip-on sensors that flood this category.
