ZEISS Infrared Camera-Secacam 3

The 24-year custom-designed project for Zeiss took about a year from project initiation to mass production. It has now been sold on its official website and Amazon, and the current sales volume is stable;

The difficulty 1 of the project lies in the fact that the screen is designed on a rotatable flip cover. At the beginning of the design, several proofs are made to verify the feasibility of folding the screen cable, so as to ensure that the cable can retract back into the internal space after the flip cover is closed. In order to ensure its stability, a traction spring and a telescopic cavity design are added to the main board to realize more than 5000 opening and closing life;

Difficulty 2: It is necessary to adapt the back clip bracket on the back of the product, and it is necessary to be compatible with the cameras and accessories of this series. Later, through the positive and negative shapes and sticking points, a bracket back clip with adjustable angle was designed;

Difficulty 3: Need to be compatible with a variety of battery types to use, you need to consider the design of a variety of battery compartment and circuit connection wiring, and finally through the smallest volume, designed three battery compartment, respectively, AA battery, 18650 battery and lithium battery;

ZEISS Infrared Camera

This customized project for ZEISS, developed in 2024, took approximately one year from concept to mass production. The product is now available on ZEISS's official website and Amazon, with consistently stable sales performance.

Key Design Challenges & Solutions:

1.Rotating Flip-Screen Mechanism
The display is integrated into a rotating flip cover. Extensive prototyping validated the flexible PCB's folding reliability, ensuring the ribbon cable retracts seamlessly when closed.
A tension spring and telescoping cavity mechanism were embedded in the mainboard, achieving over 5,000 open/close cycles without failure.

2.Universal Back-Mount Compatibility
The rear clip mount was engineered to support ZEISS's camera ecosystem and accessories.
An adjustable-angle design was realized through interlocking positive/negative forms and snap-fit structures, ensuring secure attachment.

3.Multi-Battery System Integration
Three compact battery compartments were developed to accommodate AA, 18650, and lithium batteries while optimizing internal space.
Customized circuitry routing maintains efficient power delivery across all configurations.
