ArducamLens Board OV5647 Sensor for Raspberry Pi Camera, Adjustable and Interchangeable Lens M12 Module, Focus and Angle Enhancement for Raspberry Pi 5/4/3/3 B+

This certainly wasn’t made to produce broadcast videos or take studio quality photos, however it was made to replace several “strip” cams for Raspberry Pi and other SBC products because of their low quality images and it does that like a trooper. I have only modestly experimented with it up until now trying it first in my Raspberry Pi 400 keyboard because it was so easy to test. I then connected it to my CrowPi2 because that’s really what it’s made for and ran it through some drills. I’m very interested in additive manufacturing and design and print many dodads to combine with RPi, Arduino and other controllers including legos. So I replaced existing cameras with this one and ran it through the paces. It performed flawlessly and with superior images. My real purpose for buying one more camera was to add it to my new Creality Ender-3 S1 Pro that arrived last week (don’t know why, but I was one of the first in the USA to receive one) and I thought I’d make several videos demonstrating the new capabilities. It’s work terrific and I will be buy two or three more. I highly recommend it.

This camera is a great option for an Rpi, I really like the interchangeable lenses since I'm using this in more of a close up situation and it allows me to control what gets into the frame of the video. I picked up 3 additional lenses for about $12 making the complete system very affordable.One thing to keep in mind, if you buy this board you won't be able to use most of the standard Rpi camera cases. This is slightly different size to allow them to adapt for the larger lenses.

The camera worked great once I realized that the included documentation showed the cable connection backwards. As seen in the photo the blue protective band is facing in the direction of the camera lens. That doesn't work. The blue band should face away from the lens as is shown correctly in other online documents..

Llevo unos minutos conectarla y hacerla funcionar. Sin duda es muy buena opción para ampliar las posibilidades de configuración de una Rapsberry Pi 4B. Instrucciones muy claras.

I have this on an old rpi 3 b+ taking motion capture and stills (pictures) every minute, outside my house and I like it a lot with the motioneyeOS installed, recorded on a Network share that another ras pi running my NAS. It makes for some pretty good time-lapse! Honestly pretty good quality for the price.

It works. At first I spent hours trying to get it to work. I checked the cables and internet blogs. Changed my rasp pi OS a few times. Took a break. Came back the next day and it worked upon start up and has ever since.

Installed in a 3D printed mount/case for my printer enclosure, quite easy if you’re used to this style of ribbon cable. In not, be careful not to snap the ribbon retainer when opening it.Included ribbon was fairly short so I had to order a 1m cable for my purpose. Something to keep in mind.The image quality is, ok. I had to keep using lens tissues to clean off the lens because it looks like a picture from a cellphone camera that the user didn’t both to clean off before taking a photograph. No matter how much I tweaked the focus, it still wasn’t great.If you want something to hook up to a RaspberryPi to monitor your prints with Octoprint, it works. If I were to do it over, I’d have just bought a Logitech webcam instead

I have sampled a number of Pi cams for a project to keep an eye on my dog when I'm not home. This module works as expected with raspistill and raspivid. I've tested it with a Pi 3B+ and Pi Zero W. Worked great. I especially like being able to swap out the lens. These 12mm lenses are better for my application than the larger CS lenses. As other reviewers have noted, be gentle changing the lens. If you do mess up the threads, you can replace the mount with one that comes with many of the 12mm lenses. I see this as a pick a lens once and leave it setup rather than changing the lens over and over.I have not found a case that works with these. I'm using scotch tape across the top and bottom to tape it to the Pi case, and that would be fine for my own hacked up camera system. But I'm getting started with 3D printing to make cases for the Pi/cam units.

I had the picam before and accidentally scratched the lens when trying to adjust the focal length. I decided to take a chance on this one because of the adjustable lens. This works just as well as the raspberry pi cam for my needs - close-up on small film frames. This worked with my Raspberry Pi 4 instantly, no issues, no firmware upgrades. Plug and play. The footprint of the circuit board is a bit bulky, but it's not an issue for my needs.

Works in applications for video surveillence and machine learning software (CV2) and tensorflow lite. Used diy software for person detection and position.

Bought this for my octoprint set up with my 3D printer. I was surprised by how big the lense was on it but it works quite well. Using with a raspberry pi 4 and no issues yet. Small package and comes with a lense cover for protection from dust and scratches. Good buy and good value!

Perfect quality for the price, easy to use and good quality

This camera works well on a Raspberry Pi 3 with no issues.It will not work on a Jetson Nano B01.Quote from Arducam Website Forum:"B0031 currently does not support Jetson Nano. If you want to use OV5647 on Jetson Nano, you need to use it with Jetvariety adapter board, but Jetvariety adapter board is not sold separately."
