The Lomography ActionSampler (1999) is a 35mm toy camera fitted with four separate fixed-focus plastic lenses arranged in a 2×2 grid. When the shutter is pressed, the four lenses fire sequentially at approximately 0.1-second intervals, capturing four consecutive images — each occupying a quarter of the standard 35mm frame (approximately 18×12mm each). The resulting image on film is a grid of four moments, spanning roughly 0.4 seconds of elapsed time.

The ActionSampler was introduced by Lomography Society International in 1999 as one of the company's early purpose-built Lomographic cameras beyond the original LC-A. The camera was developed to capture motion sequentially in a format accessible to any photographer — without the expense of a high-speed motor drive or strobe setup.
Lomography positioned the ActionSampler as a fun action and sports camera, and it was widely adopted in skateboarding, dance, and party photography communities during the 2000s. A variant — the ActionSampler Flash — was later introduced with a built-in flash for indoor sequential use.
The camera remains in Lomography's catalog as of 2026, sold in multiple color variants.
The ActionSampler is an accessible, affordable alternative to stroboscopic or high-speed photography for capturing motion sequences. It requires no technical knowledge and no accessories — load film, take it outside, shoot anything moving. The resulting quad-grid images have a distinctive graphic quality that has appeared in gallery work, music videos, and advertising as a visual signature of Lomographic motion capture.
Four fixed plastic lenses arranged in a 2×2 grid; none interchangeable. The ActionSampler Flash variant adds a built-in flash triggered in sync with each lens firing. Accessories: Lomography strap and soft case; no filter threads.
