Review on Arducam for Raspberry Pi Camera: Interchangeable CS Mount Lens for Pi 4, 3, 3B+ | 5MP OV5647 1080P by Ryan Noble

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ten minutes from opening the box to an excellent HD video

A few months ago, we standardized ArduCAM Mini without Raspberry Pi for our commercial product ImOkBox (imokbox.com). based on the Raspberry Pi. We knew firsthand that ArduCAM's products and support were of the highest quality, so we purchased a 5MP ArduCAM for Raspberry Pi to see if it would meet the needs of our project. We captured amazing quality videos and photos in about 10 minutes, having never booted a Raspberry Pi. I've heard people use the iPhone 6 to make cinema quality movies. According to our tests, ArduCAM's resolution and color quality is as good or even better than iPhone 6. Compared to phone cameras, ArduCAM's sensor optics are larger and the quality of photos and videos is amazingly clear. ArduCAM installed on Rasparian OS as a Raspberry Pi camera and the raspistill and raspivid terminal programs included with Rasparian OS worked fine. Test platform: Raspberry Pi A+, Rasparian OS, 8GB SD card, USB universal mouse, USB universal keyboard. , HDMI monitor.
