Review on πŸ“· Arducam Multi Camera Adapter Module V2.2: Utilize Multiple 5MP or 8MP Cameras on Raspberry Pi 4 B, 3B+, Pi 3, Pi 2, Model A/B/B+ by Deron Gilliam

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I recommend that you are familiar with the Raspberry Pi, Linux and Python to do a lot with it.

I use it for a multi-chamber rover. One is an Arducam 5MP motorized focus camera, the other is a 5MP fixed camera and I'm not sure yet what the rest will be. I've only tested it with two cameras and it works fine. But here are a few caveats: (although I wasn't a programmer I bought it) First for some reason we had to start with the first camera in port D and not A as you might suspect. This might just be our implementation, but as far as I know we made very few changes to the example code. Second, the cable that came with it didn't work. Although it looks identical to the official Rpi camera cable, the Rpi cable worked. I was just thinking of replacing the cables because someone left a review mentioning the same thing. Otherwise we would have blamed the board and/or the software.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
