Voast adds screen-free camcorder rentals for weddings

Voast has launched a new screen-free camcorder rental that lets wedding guests capture candid footage without phones or playback. The cameras can be booked alone or alongside the company’s Interview Booth, with all clips and guest-book videos delivered in a single gallery after the event.

Why it matters: - Voast is expanding beyond its Interview Booth with a lower-cost rental option that captures weddings from guests’ point of view. - The new camcorders are designed to give couples more candid footage from the full event weekend without relying on phones. - The launch gives couples a way to combine guest-recorded video with Voast’s interview-style keepsake in one workflow.

What happened: - Voast launched the Voast Camcorder, a screen-free video camera guests can use at weddings and events. - The Seattle company says the camcorder is its first rental product beyond the flagship Interview Booth. - The cameras are available as an add-on to a booth rental or as stand-alone rentals in sets of two, four or six. - Voast produced the camcorder in collaboration with Camp Snap. - Hannah Fuchigami, Voast’s marketing director, said the new product is meant to let guests record the event “through their eyes.”

The details: - The camcorder has no screen, so footage cannot be played back or deleted during the event. - Guests turn the camera on with a dial and record by holding a trigger. - Each press creates a separate clip. - Each camera includes a 64 GB memory card that holds up to eight hours of footage. - Each camera also includes a custom Voast filter with a film-style look. - The Interview Booth prompts guests on screen with questions and records answers without an attendant. - Voast says the camcorders are meant to capture getting ready, the ceremony and the dance floor. - After the event, customers ship the equipment back and receive a single online gallery with booth interviews and camcorder clips. - Voast’s optional Story Edit and Pro Edit services now combine booth footage and camcorder clips into one edited video.

Between the lines: - The launch reflects growing interest in wedding footage that feels less staged and less dependent on phones. - A wedding industry influencer quoted in The Knot’s Gen Z wedding trends coverage said a couple had asked for “the full day to be captured and edited on camcorder.” - The new rental line also opens a lower entry price for Voast customers. - Camcorder sets of two start at $300 on their own, or $250 when added to an Interview Booth rental. - Voast said its previous lowest-priced rental started at about $1,000.

What’s next: - Booth add-ons can be booked online at checkout. - Stand-alone rentals are reserved by form request or by emailing hello@voast.co. - More information is available at Voast’s camcorder page.

The bottom line: - Voast is betting couples want more guest-shot video, less phone dependence and a cheaper way to package wedding memories into one finished gallery.
