GoPros (and other action cameras) are great, but they’re usually not that open to tinkering. If you’d like to build and mess around with your own, DIYer Connor Yamada shows you how to build an action camera with a Raspberry Pi.


There are a few key parts to this project, including the Pi, the camera board, battery, SD card, a few switches, and a 3D printed case. From there, Yamada builds on a software set to do the recording then send those videos over to a computer when they’re done. It’s a bit of work to get up and running, but a solid end project nonetheless. Head over to Yamada’s site for the full guide.
