The Orbbec Gemini 336 is a compact, high-performance stereo depth camera designed for a wide range of computing and electronics applications. Featuring an Orbbec ASIC for efficient processing and an 850nm IR-Pass filter for depth sensing, it delivers precise depth data from 0.1 to 20 meters, with an optimal range of 0.26 to 3 meters. This lightweight (3.5 oz) and dust-resistant (IP5X) camera offers 1280 x 800 depth resolution and 1920 x 1080 RGB resolution, both at 30 fps, making it suitable for robotics, 3D scanning, and gesture recognition projects that require accurate spatial awareness and robust performance.
Invest in good lenses rather than just the newest camera body. Sensor size determines low-light performance and depth of field. Available from $284.
Ongoing costs involve lenses, batteries, and storage cards. Professional cleaning of the sensor is occasionally needed.
Common Failure Modes
Mechanical shutters eventually fail after hundreds of thousands of shots. Dust on the sensor degrades image quality.

Cameras can last over a decade. The shutter mechanism is the main wear component, rated for a specific number of actuations (e.g., 100k-300k).
