As with other models dubbed "minicam" this is a model for half-frame 127 format—in other words, images approximately 3×4 cm, achieved by advancing each number on the film's backing paper to a first, then a second red window on the back. The Trusite Minicam is a simple affair with a fixed focus 50mm meniscus lens and an instant/time shutter. The body is cast metal. A version with Girl Scout branding is also known.
Trusite Minicam (4x4)
McKeown also shows a boxy Trusite model giving square images on 127 film, calling it "very uncommon."[1]
