Protect and Mount Your Raspberry Pi Camera with Ease

The Adafruit Raspberry Pi Camera Board Case with 1/4" Tripod Mount is a simple, practical enclosure designed to keep your Pi Camera protected while making it much easier to mount in projects, test setups, monitoring systems, and camera builds.

This case uses a minimal two-piece design with a black base and clear top, giving your camera board a clean, professional look without adding much bulk. It is made from durable polycarbonate, so it is lightweight, tough, and ready for everyday maker use.

What you can build

This camera case is great for Raspberry Pi photography projects, monitoring systems, tripod-mounted vision setups, machine vision experiments, robotics builds, streaming rigs, and time-lapse projects where the camera needs a bit more protection and a cleaner way to mount.

Starter bundles

Pair it with a Raspberry Pi Camera Board, a Raspberry Pi, and a Pi camera flex cable for a simple camera setup. A small tripod is also a great add-on if you want a ready-to-position camera station.

Recommended add-ons

Useful extras include longer camera flex cables, tripod mounts, Raspberry Pi cases, and mounting accessories for robotics or fixed-position installs.

Technical specifications

Pinout & fit notes

The camera board sits into the base and latches onto four small pegs, while the top cover snaps over it. A slim side opening allows the flex cable to exit neatly, and the back-mounted tripod nut makes the enclosure easy to attach to standard camera hardware.

Please note that some Pi Camera v2 modules may sit a little tight in the case because the v2 module is slightly thicker. If the camera presses against the case and causes blurry images, the usual fix is to remove the sticky rubber spacer between the camera module and PCB.
