After experiencing great success with a UVC G2 camera zoom lens extender, available at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3983425, I decided to create a version for the UVC G3 camera. I utilized the same 9-22mm vari-focal lens as in the previous project, which features twist-to-zoom and twist-to-focus rings and operates similarly to a DSLR camera lens.

To address this, I designed an extender ring that protects the interior of the camera by covering the lens but replacing the visor. This model can be adapted to fit other lenses as well. You will lose access to the IR Emitters with this setup, but they appear to be invisible at the zoomed distance anyway. I chose not to remove the IR emitter ring in this design because it houses the microphone. To ensure proper alignment, I had to replace the large set screw on the focus part of the lens with a shorter one, so it wouldn't interfere with the IR LEDs. The lens extender is secured via pressure fit and pushes onto the camera. It holds securely, and I'm extremely satisfied with the results of this setup. To give it a sleek look, I spray-painted it black, and it turned out quite sharp!
