Custom Handheld Pi Zero HQ Camera

This project stands out in the realm of DIY camera technology. At its core, the camera integrates a Raspberry Pi Zero (with a preference for the Pi Zero 2) and the High-Quality (HQ) Camera module, coupled with a compact 1.5" Waveshare OLED display. Its unique features include live preview, zoom-crop panning for manual focus assistance, file viewing capabilities, and an integrated 10-axis IMU for potential horizon level overlay applications. This creation is less about competing with high-end cameras like the Sony Alpha series and more about providing a platform for custom software development and experimentation in camera design. The estimated cost of the camera, considering major components and a 35mm lens, stands around $185.00 The GitHub page: https://github.com/jdc-cunningham/pi-zero-hq-cam https://hackaday.io/project/194024-custom-handheld-pi-zero-hq-camera

Custom Handheld Pi Zero HQ Camera

This camera uses a Pi Zero (2 preferred) with the HQ camera and a 1.5" OLED display. It has common camera features such as live preview, zoom-crop panning for manual focus assist and file view. It also has a 10-axis IMU (GY-91) inside just because it was the same form factor as a 6050 the intent is for horizon level overlay.
