Most Raspberry Pi based cameras we have seen so far can take either photo, video or both. But Nick Brewer’s Raspberry Pi Zero camera is little different. It’s a fully customizable 3D printed camera using the Raspberry Pi camera with the capability to take short animated GIFs. The camera runs off a 2500mAH LiPO battery using Adafruit’s PowerBoost 500 charger board. The hardware is controlled with a bunch of softwares including PiCamera, GraphicsMagick, and GifCam. The 3D-printed case for the camera is neat and recalls the days of the disposable cameras.
