raspi5では、認識しなかった。レビュー評価もあまりよくなかったので心配してたのですがたぶん不良品だと思います。カメラを固定するネジが短くてナットが付けられないので瞬間接着剤で固定しました。カメラのコネクタの反対側に入れるスペーサも入っていませんでした。

I've installed this camera when I upgraded the RPi installed in my Prusa MK3S printer to a Zero 2W. The little mount works great and was easy to assemble. The RPi image I used (Linux Kernel 6.1.21-v7+), the camera worked out of the box with OctoPi. The Zero has a smaller connector, so the second cable was exactly what I needed and it happened to be a perfect length for my need.Couldn't be happier.

Assembly was simple. Ran into some minor issues at first, but support for this product is great. Communication was perfect. They monitored setup closely to help me succeed.

Video quality better than official raspberry pi cam. I put ribbon on wrong, great tech support helped me fix that.

I got this camera, installed it, and it didn’t work. Then I contacted their customer service, and I got a response within a few hours (night time my time, but that’s just the time difference). They made sure I got the camera installed correctly including the software modification that were required, and they let me try a few more things. Then we determined that the camera must be defective, and they sent me a new one. Every time I got an answer from them, it was sent first thing in the morning their time. When the new camera arrived, I plugged it in, and the image quality is superb. The little stand it comes with is simple, but it does the job. Happy customer :-)

Did not work on Pi 4B. Difficult to build the case. followed specific youtube instructions exactly, still could get it to work. Case was a major pain to build.

Bought this to use with a Raspberry Pi A+ on Octoprint. Worked fine without any configuration. Camera quality is Okish as you'd expect but if you are looking for a cheap camera that works with a 3D printer this fits the bill.

I did some research on RPi cameras before purchase. However, the literature is a bit "fuzzy". The V1 cameras are no longer supported by Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye. [Update: kinda sorta.] (I tried some hacks, but nothing worked.) Raspberry is moving to a new, "better" (which translates to "buy new") camera API, and the V1 cameras didn't make the cut. (The old raspi-still and raspi-video commands do NOT work with Bullseye.)UPDATE: This V1 camera is now supported in Bullseye using a "Legacy Mode" configured through raspi-config. Still no raspi-still or raspi-video commands like in Buster. But if your moving forward (to Bullseye) and not stuck in time (with Buster and raspi-still/raspi-video), you're better off with a V2 camera. However, if your applications has not been updated, you may want/need a V1 camera. (For example, MotionEye works with this camera in Bullseye with "Legacy Mode", but it inexplicable stops working after a day. Using Raspbian based on 32bit Buster, MotionEye works "better" with this camera.)The directions for attaching the ribbon cable are not helpful: a generic sketch with nothing to make clear which side goes toward the pins inside the connector (and the directions are especially lacking for a RPi Zero). The directions are, and I quote, "make sure the cable is the right way round." Needless to say, it wasn't, took me hours, and complicated determining that the camera was no longer supported (prior to the Legacy Mode update).The acrylic case would be so much more useful if it had tripod threads to mount it. Indeed, any holes to mount it would be a benefit. If mounting holes lined up with the holes on a RPi Zero, that would really be a benefit. As is, it might be possible to mount it to a RPi Zero, but the holes would be right next to the sides of this case and probably damage its integrity.I have excellent dexterity (though failing vision), and I found the screws for the case exceedingly difficult. Tweezers can help hold the nuts while tightening.

I bought this more for the stand than the 5MP camera, as it's hard to find a Raspberry Pi camera module with a stand that allows you to angle the camera. At first I was nervous about purchasing a product without many reviews, but the customer service is fantastic, I emailed on where to find the manual, and the Freenove customer support sent a link to their github repository. Afterwards, I was able to set up the camera stand and camera with no issues. It comes with two ribbon cables, one for the standard Raspberry Pi and one for the Raspberry Pi Zero.The quality of the plastic stand is quite good for the price, and the camera image quality is decent.

I wanted an inexpensive camera and mount to play around with. This is an excellent basic option which even has a friction azimuth tilt. Loses 1 star for a seemingly incomplete assembly manual on github.
