A modular camera designed for easy repair, upgrades and customization
Designed by Jamie Sach
Electronic waste is a growing problem, and cameras are frequently discarded prematurely due to their complex internal designs, which make repairs difficult and intimidating for users. Existing cameras include circuit boards and ribbon cables that are not built to withstand repeated repairs. This often leads to damage during repair attempts, and the complexity of disassembling these devices can deter users from trying to fix them.
The ReFrame modular camera revolutionizes device longevity and adaptability by offering a unique design where users can easily swap out screw-in-place modules for repair, upgrades, or customization. This user-friendly approach ensures that modules fit only one correct way, eliminating errors and intimidation often associated with technological repairs. A future-proof design, ReFrame enables anyone to perform maintenance effortlessly and repeatedly, ensuring the camera not only meets current needs but also adapts to future advancements, thereby significantly extending its useful life.
