Born in the Past. Built for the Present
We didn’t set out to build just another camera. We built a time machine — disguised as a camcorder. RetroVizion™ was born from a deep love for that grainy, golden, imperfect beauty of 90s home videos — the kind your family filmed on bulky VHS cams, long before everything became overproduced and over-polished.
In a world obsessed with 4K clarity and algorithm-friendly perfection, we chose to go the other way. We wanted warmth. Character. Realness. A camera that captures the vibe — not just the pixels.
So we reimagined the vintage camcorder for a new generation of creators, storytellers, and nostalgia lovers.
The result? A palm-sized digital cam with VHS aesthetics, lo-fi audio, NightVision, and USB-C convenience — made to go from your pocket to your story in seconds.

For years, Guillermo — a Tokyo-based filmmaker, photographer, and die-hard fan of analog storytelling — dreamed of bringing back the gritty, emotional charm of 90s home videos.
He scoured eBay, flea markets, secondhand tech shops — anything to find a working vintage camcorder that could deliver those washed-out colors, soft focus, and VHS-style warmth. But reality hit hard.
“What if I built my own retro camera — with modern tech inside, but vintage soul on the outside?”
