The IMX477 Raspberry Pi Camera offers higher sensitivity than the existing camera module v2, with a pixel size of 1.55µm × 1.55µm, twice the pixel area of the IMX219 on the camera module V2, which improves low-light performance. Note: This is an IMX477 camera designed by Arducam, please use the libcamera stack. You need to modify the config.txt file and add configuration lines according to the camera type before use. For Raspberry Pi Bookworm users running on Pi 5 , please do the following sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt #Find the line: camera_auto_detect=1, update it to:camera_auto_detect=0 #Find the line: [all], add the following item under it:dtoverlay=imx477 #Save and reboot. If you want to enable the camera kit on the cam0 port of Pi5, please replace the dtoverlay=imx477 with dtoverlay=imx477,cam0 For Raspberry Pi Bookworm/Bullseye users running on Pi 4 ， Pi 0 ~ 3 , and Bullseye OS on Pi0-Pi3 please check the manual that comes with the parcel for further information. Note : After configuration, reboot the device is a necessary step. This camera model supports Tripod Mount (not included in the package), so you can take photos more conveniently. No matter where you want to shoot, the tripod mount can help you mount the camera more securely and more stable. Search B0897QD6C2 for the Tripod and M12 lens for HQ camera. The Raspberry Pi high-quality camera is designed to accept CS-mount lenses, and with the included adapter, it can also support C-mount lenses. A tripod adapter with 1/4" mounting holes is included in the package and is compatible with any tripod with standard 1/4"-20 mounting screws. SPECS Review: I had issues but the seller contacted me and helped me resolve the problem. - When I got this HiQ camera it would not work though I tried it with several different pi boards. I gave up and gave it a bad review. Fast forward, the seller contacted me and showed me the error of my ways, gave me the magic settings you have to make in a config file. After that the camera connected and works fine. If you buy this, be aware that it is not plug and play like a regular picam. You must change settings. If you have issues the seller will help you resolve them. Review: Just plain old doesn't work - Connected to a Raspberry Pi 3b+ and a 4b fresh install of raspberry OS bookworm..
