DropCam Capsule Camera

Features
Read full description

DropCam is an art camera built around a tactile pull gesture, live viewfinder, and instant-print animation. The top capsule becomes your shooting entry: pull down to reveal the lens, tap the shutter, and your framed photo slides from the top slot before settling into a gallery grid. Key features: - Pull down from the top capsule to reveal a live camera viewfinder - A viewfinder that blends cleanly into the top edge - Retro instant-photo frames with a tactile print animation - Artistic film, darkroom, and gallery-inspired filters - Long-press the shutter to record short videos - Save to the system photo library or share prints and videos directly - Studio Pass unlocks more art filters, paper themes, clean exports, and a fuller creative workflow with a one-time purchase DropCam does not require an account and does not connect to external servers. Camera, photo library, and sharing permissions are used only when you capture, save, or share your own work.
