Waveshare offers a range of Pi Zero-specific HATs — displays, cameras, UPS, and communication — designed for the tiny form factor.
Why Pi Zero?
At 65x30mm, Pi Zero is smaller than a credit card. Ideal for wearables, hidden cameras, and embedded systems. But standard-size HATs are too large.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pi Zero vs Zero 2 W?
Zero 2 W has quad-core (4x faster) and WiFi. Use Zero 2 W unless you need ultra-low power.
GPIO header included?
Pi Zero ships without headers. Solder them yourself or buy pre-soldered variant.
HATs compatible with regular Pi?
Electrically yes, but physically they are designed for Zero’s smaller form factor.
Power consumption?
Pi Zero: ~0.5W idle. Zero 2 W: ~1W idle. Far less than Pi 4 (~3W).
Conclusion
Pi Zero accessories from Waveshare bring full functionality to the smallest Pi for wearables and ultra-compact projects.
