Camera project for Raspberry Pi 2/3 + HQ Camera + MHS35-TFT
Made an enclosure to host the HQ Raspberry Pi Camera as a standalone battery-powered DSLM that I'm calling piDSLM. Check out the links below for instructions on how to recreate the project!
The design includes a few modular camera grips for users. Feel free to make your own designs and reach out to me so I can include them!

For the codebase, I built the piDSLM codebase off of a forked a copy of fellow DIYer Martin Manders MerlinPi project. The piDSLM codebase is still in its infancy but it allows the user to take photos/videos, and view them in a gallery. It also allows users to bulk upload the footage to Dropbox. To begin ssh into the Raspberry Pi and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/NickEngmann/pidslm.git
cd pidslm
You're then going to retrieve a Dropbox Access token to enable to Dropbox footage upload feature. To do this go ahead and go to the Application Developer page on Dropbox. Create an application and click the Generate Access Token button to generate your access token.
Then replace the dummy access token in Dropbox_upload.py with your new access token.
# OAuth2 access token. TODO: login etc.
TOKEN = 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'
Finally, run the INSTALL.sh script using the following command
sudo ./INSTALL.sh
