Raspberry Pi Zero W used for interchangeable lens cameras

Nowadays, passion and a bit of technical skills are enough to create really interesting projects. The wide diffusion of Single Board Computers such as Raspberry Pi and the great availability of compatible components allows anyone to build objects tailored to their needs, even having fun.

Both use a Pi Camera V1 module to capture images and have integrated screens to see the subject in real time before taking the picture, while the supported lenses are M2 type. As far as the power supply is concerned, an 18,650 LiPo battery is used.

Today, we also talked about the new version of the Cooler Master Pi 40 case for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. Find more information in our dedicated article.
