The Camera Beard is an unlockable Miscellaneous item for the Spy. It appears as a film camera, cleverly hidden within a bushy, black, fake beard.
The item description was written by Codo for the Hat Describing Contest and was slightly edited by Valve.

Previous changes
- Moved the item to the Misc loadout slot so it can be equipped with a hat.

- Changed the Camera Beard to be treated as a hat in crafting, allowing it to be used as an ingredient in the "Rebuild Headgear" crafting recipe.
- This misc item was made paintable.
Trivia
- This item is a tongue-in-cheek reference to real-world Spy micro-cameras, which are disguised as innocuous articles of clothing such as shirt buttons or wristwatches.
- Initially, the Camera Beard was rejected by the Spy for being too ridiculous in the Sniper vs. Spy Update Day 4, and he chose the Cloak and Dagger and Dead Ringer instead.
- The Mann Co. Store prices the Camera Beard at about 60% of the price listed in the Dapper Rogue Catalogue.
- Before Camera Beards were included in the "Rebuild Headgear" crafting recipe, players could craft three of them into a scrap metal.
- Right after Camera Beards were changed into a Misc. Item, they were still dropping at a high rate.
