Camera Arrangements with Mounted Image Sensors

A camera assembly comprising:

• a base plate comprising:
• a first portion having an upper surface;
• and
• a second portion having an upper surface and a lower surface and defining an aperture extending therethrough, wherein the upper surface of the second portion is elevated relative to the upper surface of the first portion;
• a first image sensor module mounted on the upper surface of the first portion, the first image sensor module having a first image sensor;
• a second image sensor module mounted to the lower surface of the second portion, the second image sensor module having a second image sensor positioned to receive light through the aperture;
• a first lens module disposed above the base plate for transmitting light to the first image sensor, the first lens module having a first lens with a first optical axis;
• and
• a second lens module disposed above the base plate for transmitting light to the second image sensor, the second lens module having a second lens with a second optical axis.

A camera assembly comprising:

• a base plate comprising an upper surface and a lower surface, the base plate defining a first aperture and a second aperture extending therethrough;
• a first lens module disposed above the base plate and having a first optical axis;
• a first image sensor module mounted to the lower surface of the base plate, the first image sensor module comprising a first image sensor aligned with the first lens module along the first optical axis and positioned to receive light from the first lens module through the first aperture;
• a first actuator disposed above the base plate and configured to move the first image sensor module vertically along the first optical axis to focus light from the first lens on the first image sensor;
• a second lens module disposed above the base plate and having a second optical axis;
• a second image sensor module mounted to the lower surface of the base plate, the second image sensor module comprising a second image sensor aligned with the second lens module along the second optical axis and positioned to receive light from the second lens module through the second aperture;
• and
• a second actuator disposed above the base plate and configured to move the second image sensor module vertically along the second optical axis to focus light from the second lens on the second image sensor, wherein:
• the first actuator comprises a first magnet that is shared by the second actuator in moving the first lens module and the second lens module.
