The PiShop UniPiCase Zero - Camera is a compact case designed for the Pi Zero. Its domed lid supports mounting of Official Raspberry Pi Cameras, with a slot for camera cables beneath the case. All ports remain accessible, while silicone feet and wall-mount options add stability. A clear, low-profile design makes it ideal for camera projects with the Pi Zero board with no header.
⚠️ Compatibility Notes
Camera: Not compatible with Raspberry Pi Camera V3. The opening can be enlarged by 1–2 mm with a drill if needed.
Board: Not compatible with Raspberry Pi Zero with a soldered header. See the full UniPiCase ZW collection for all compatible options.
This one is one of many possible variations of this case. The UniPiCase ZW is incredibly configurable and can fit almost any project. There are;
- Regular, camera, and tall lids available
- Alternate face-plates that close off the HDMI/USB ports
- Customized face-plates that provide access to add-on boards such as audio or I/O Zero HATs
- Custom lid branding opportunities available for volume orders
Camera Version Features
- This Camera version accommodates the Pi Zero series, with all ports accessible. It also houses the Official Raspberry Pi Cameras, beautifully integrated in the domed lid.
- A wide base provides stability for the case when heavy HDMI cables are attached.
- The entire case assembles without tools, but requires a small screwdriver or pen to remove it, securing the contents.
- The lid can be removed for inspection without disconnecting any cables from the Pi or powering it down.
- Ports for the Pi Zero/Zero W are labeled on the base to avoid confusion between the USB and PWR ports.
- A camera cable slot on the underside of the case allows external cameras to be connected.
- Low-profile silicon feet are included to hold the case in place on hard surfaces.
- The case can be wall-mounted using two pre-marked invisible mounting holes at each end.
For use with the Raspberry Pi Zero board, one small element must be trimmed from the case. Please see the assembly instructions for full details.

Not compatible with camera module V1
When I read the notices that said this case was not compatible with the V3 cameras, I assumed that it would fit both the V1 and V2 modules. Unfortunately, it appears the footprint of the V1 is different enough from the V2 that it does not fit. The camera hole and pegs on the case do not align with the lens camera and holes on the camera's board; attempting to install puts pressure on the side of the camera lens, causing the ribbon on the sensor/lens to pop off of its connection on top of the camera board.
