The Voigt Junior is a folding camera for 2¼" square images on 120 film. It has a molded plastic body with metal top and bottom plates. The film advance knob is on the top plate with a second extra knob to match. Lugs for carry straps are absent, but a single ring is provided on the completely removable back. The camera features a fixed focus 75mm f4.5 meniscus lens in a simple Instant and Bulb shutter.

Like the higher-spec Voigt camera, the Junior seems to be based on the body molds for the Vokar B folder, from Vokar Corporation of Michigan; but it was sold by Camera Specialty Corporation of New York (owned by exiled Wirgin brother Max). The relationship between the two companies is unclear. The "Meniscar" lens brand also appears on the Wirgin Junior.
