Excope DT1|The World's Lightest Super Telephoto Camera

Excope DT1 from BEAVERLAB claims the title of world's lightest super-telephoto camera. The idea came from a birding shoot: could pro-level telephoto optics meet smartphone portability? After a year of R&D, DT1 delivers 200x zoom, a 400mm focal length and 48 megapixels — telescope-grade reach for ordinary users, moon shots included. The lens is built in aerospace-grade aluminum for durability, and Wi-Fi with a free app handles shooting, editing and sharing in one place. Launched in April 2024, it raised about $1,259,347 against a $20,000 goal — roughly 6,297% funding from 4,891 backers.
