The Original Series Tricorder: Brand New sealed in box
highly accurate prop replica of the Enterprise’s classic portable computer
The 23rd century Tricorder developed by Wah Chang was standard issue on Starfleet vessels. A portable computer used to take environmental measurements, record data and display information was a vital piece of equipment aboard an exploratory ship such as the Enterprise.
This Tricorder is not a toy; it is a working display-grade replica developed to give its owner the maximum level of enjoyment. The Tricorder has been designed using extremely accurate 3D scans of one of the last remaining hero props from the 1960s Original Series television show. Dedicated attention to detail, and the use of authentic materials, textures and finishes, have resulted in a fully-functioning, display-grade product that is highly faithful to the original prop.
With its authentic sound effects, real-world sensing, removable computer function discs, an archive of over 200 Captain’s Logs, and the ability to record your own personal logs, the Tricorder provides plenty of opportunity for in-universe interaction and fun.

Product history:First conceived as a product in 2016 when we started serious discussions with CBS about the possibility of developing a replica Tricorder. However, it would take another three years until the stars fully aligned and we met with Greg Jein in Burbank to scan his screen-used hero prop so that we could properly kick off the development in 2019. After some initial study, the development was announced in 2020. Despite the havoc created by Covid, the initial development work progressed quickly, and by March 2021 we began a series of newsletters with the idea that we were closing in on production by the end of that year. Subsequent unforeseen issues with the development caused multiple delays including redesigning of the electronics and the manufacture of new tooling for some key components. Finally, in 2024 we closed down the last of the development issues and moved to preproduction and then right at the end of the year in the last few days of December we started ordering the components necessary for full production. Full manufacturing finally started after Chinese New Year in mid March 2025.
Accuracy and attention to the smallest detail, has been our guide all through this epic journey
e have taken great care to make sure that this Tricorder is as accurate as possible. We were fortunate to gain access to the one of the last known Tricorder hero props and spend some quality time with it, studying and 3D scanning it under the watchful eye of master prop maker and owner, Greg Jein. We used a Hexagon Metrology system comprising a ROMER Absolute Arm with an RS3 laser scanning head. The arm is balanced to enable the operator to move the laser scanner smoothly around the subject, and contains seven precision encoders to keep track of the exact position of the scanning head. You can learn more about our experience scanning the Tricorder in our Blog post No. 2,here.
