Review on ๐Ÿ“ท 5MP 1080p OV5647 Mini Camera Module, with 6 Inch 15 Pin Ribbon Cable, Compatible with Raspberry Pi Model A B B+, Pi 2/3/4 by Justin Ellingson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Extremely simple and decent image quality

I've had a few Raspberry Pis before but never pulled the trigger on the camera module as I didn't really need it. Now I'm running 2 instances of Octoprint and it's nice to be able to remotely track prints individually. The cameras and cable were well packaged and gave the impression of high quality workmanship (like every single component) and were very easy to use. Plug it in (in the correct slot and orientation of course) and then toggle the setting in the Raspberry Pi settings to turn on the camera and that's it. For the price it was absolutely worth it.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
