Review on πŸ“· Arducam Raspberry Pi Zero Camera Module, 5MP 1080P Compatible with Raspbian, MotionEye, Octopi, and More (Includes 2 Cable Variations) by Darren Anderson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great camera but not fully compatible with the official Raspberry Pi Zero W camera body

my Raspberry Pi 3 B and Zero, I have tested both ribbon cables. Everything worked fine. I love the fact that you can use two cables to swap between the camera ports for the Pi Zero and other Pis that use a wider ribbon cable. This article also included some very useful instructions on how to enable the camera feature on Raspbian. There is an extensive online community that is very helpful for you with project ideas. I will have no problem buying this product from this seller again! UPDATE: This camera works great. Good value for money. What's keeping this thing from getting 5 stars is that the four corner holes don't fit the camera mount on my official Raspberry Pi Zero W camera case (4). When I use it in these cases (I bought two of these cameras) I simply plug the camera board into the housings and gently slide the camera through the camera connector on top of the camera cover. Nevertheless, it is not properly centered, but slightly offset. Great camera but not fully compatible with the official Raspberry Pi Zero W camera body.
