Here you will find a comparison of the different Sony blocks.

If you need a ruggedized version of the Sony blocks capable to withstand impacts and vibrations, here you have the HarshCam.

HarshCam consists of an internal modification of the corresponding Sony block to make it withstand shocks and vibrations without losing zoom or focus.
It is ideal for defense and security applications and complies with MIL-STD-810 regulations.
