ble for smaller, more lightweight cameras to be developed. In
turn, smaller, more shallow lenses made it possible for light to
hit the camera’s sensor in a more perpendicular direction. A
direct light path increases the depth of field, which reduces the
risk of out-of-focus photos. This also produces images with
brighter corners and better overall off-center resolution. Basi-
cally, with a four thirds camera, you can achieve high-quality
photos with a relatively small camera payload.
For our demo build, we suggest using either the Mobius action
sports camera, or the 808 keychain camera.
