This is an Action Sampler Camera, a simple and basic fun camera with 4 lenses that
takes 4 photos, 12x18mm, on one 24x36mm frame. This one is different from the Lomo ActionSampler and its predecessor, the Action Tracker. It has a viewer like an ordinary plastic camera.
Its
main features are:

1/100, 4 pictures in 1 s via a rotating disk with one hole, which passes successively before all 4 lenses Size 100x67x35, Weight 114 gr.

Using
the Action Sampler is easy. A cycle takes one second which gives
different pictures from a moving subject. Don't move too quick, as
1/100s shutter speed may give blurred pictures unless you want them so.
As there is only one shutter speed, you
have to choose your film depending on the weather conditions. On bright
days ISO 200 is fine, on dull days ISO 400 is better. Modern film is
quite flexible, so you will have usable results. Inside or at night
photos are not possible. It's a toy or fun camera,
all plastic, but it's well made.
This version seems to be a newer version of the original Action Tracker. It is still sold with different stylings and brandings. The technical parts inside still seem to be the same. The addition of a viewer seems a good idea to me.
