Cheap but very fragile!

The cameras are not securely attached to their circuit board! I have a camera that is separated by its own ribbon cable that connects it to the board. Soldering back is not possible, the contacts are from below and too small. Another camera module was detached from its tiny chip, but was able to be reattached. These cameras are inexpensive but extremely fragile as I suspect they are badly soldered between the camera and the circuit board.

Pros
