Review on Arducam 8MP Wide Angle Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2 Replacement, IMX219 Sensor with M12 Mount Lens, 175 Degrees Diagonal Field of View (FoV) by Joe Lantz

Revainrating 1 out of 5

didn't work, was always blurry and the lens was connected incorrectly

For such a cheap product, why such a high price. I was really expecting something better from this product but the unit came with damaged focus or something and wasn't even connected to the module when I received it. The autofocus never worked, everything was distorted and blurry. Tried changing cables and such. In my opinion, as someone who usually buys various electronic modules, this item costs about $3, not $30. I sent mine back with such a headache, especially trying to use it with Octoprint.

Pros
  • Wider Field of View: This camera module is equipped with a 175° (D) M12 wide angle lens that offers a much wider field of view than the standard lens on the V2. camera module.
Cons
  • Expensive insurance
