Raspberry Pi Macro Camera

With the need to make a Raspberry Pi user friendly, along with a 12MP for use as a macro camera for focus stacking, I developed a corresponding modular housing. An integrated 3.5" jack socket allows direct connection to the Stackmaster controller.

A Raspberry Pi 4 of the latest generation and the 12MP HQ camera developed specifically for the Raspi, allows through the use of the Python framework an induvidual adaptation to the most diverse needs. Thus it is possible to store photos locally on the SD card used as well as on a network drive. With the possibility to connect the Raspi to the network via WiFi as well as directly via Ethernet cable, it is possible to access files on the Raspi, save files to the network and control them via remote desktop access.

On the side is the access to the SD memory card and the 3.5mm jack socket. Both C-mount and CS-mount lenses can be screwed onto the HQ camera.

All inputs and outputs of the Raspi, as well as the USB-C socket for the power supply are located underneath the case.

A self-developed ARCA Swiss clamp, brings the camera system to the correct height of the Photogrammetry device.
