Versatile Camera Enclosure

This is a club preview and will be generally released when it is more ready.

…and on that note, this page will be updated “soon” with more information.

If you are using a Radxa Zero 3W and following the Pi guide, note the camera cable is inserted in the opposite orientation than the Pi, check the Radxa documentation for this until some is provided here later. Also the Pi Camera 3/3 Wide are not directly supported on the Radxa Zero 3W.

The versatile camera enclosure is intended to support at least a couple of different small SBCs to provide a nice enclosure for camera projects. It is possible to angle the camera up and down by hand and there are two mount points on the back for different mounting solutions.

A colour 3D preview with optional AR on supported devices is available here.

This build includes the following electronic parts:

Note parts in the heatsink kit for the Pi Zero 2 W are used for mounting the SBC to the model.

The camera cable specified above may or may not be included in the camera kits. Please check the correct cable is included.

The Noctua fan may optionally be used on the Pi Zero 2 W, however it should be fine with only the heatsink. The Radxa 3W MCU runs hot under load and the fan is necessary.

The operating systems for each device have overlays to support specific cameras. The following ones are supported both by the model and the operating system:

This build uses the following hardware:

Ruthex or CNC kitchen inserts are correctly sized.
