Review on Sumolink Mount Holder: Premium Aluminum Alloy for Raspberry πŸ“· Pi HQ Camera Module V1 V2, with Free Installation Tools by Justin Castro

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Camera grounding issue prevents download

A few notes. 1) The photos in the listing showing the sun orientation of the cable are not correct. This camera does not work at boot because it is reversed. 2) I bought this mount and I love its design. I agree with the advice on screw options in another review, but my main issue is that the pi doesn't turn on when I use brass stands and metal screws when mounting the camera on both the bracket and the rpi3. After serious troubleshooting efforts, I found that the camera was causing a ground and preventing the power from turning on. I replaced the supplied screws with smaller headed M2 screws but no change. I remove the camera from the mount where it turns on. 3) I tried this with two RPi cameras of different models and the result was the same both times. I also tried two different Sun ribbon cables and no change. I have since ordered M2 nylon screws, although this seems to conflict with the purpose of the screw pads on the camera board. I would appreciate feedback from sellers, but I hope my review will help others.
