“Used these to replace analogue digital cameras on two microscope used in a museum. The image quality is excellent, and the resolution allows us to use low cost widescreen monitors for the display, even though we lose some pixels in the process. Quick tip - to fill the monitor screen, try this:
picam2.start_preview(Preview.DRM)
picam2.stop_preview()
picam2.start_preview(Preview.DRM, width=picam2._preview.crtc.mode.hdisplay, height=picam2._preview.crtc.mode.vdisplay)”
“I have used this camera module with my raspberry pi 5, for a small telescope project.
I still need work with programming hut the packages available for the camera modules are really helpful and support is plenty for trouble shooting.
Though I do wish a longer sized cable came with the camera itself but its not thay big of a deal for most projects. Im not too sure if the length was stated on the description though, so please check before you buy it without the proper ribbon cable in terms of length as well as the right adapter.”
“Easy to use, works well would be nice to have some sort of instructions on how to use out of the box as it required a little bit of understanding on how it worked on the Pi5, but other than that its great.”
“Was not sure how this RPI hq camera would perform with the 6mm lens for meteor detection.
Having a 63 degree view of the night sky compared to another meteor camera giving 120 degrees,i was very surprised with the results in the morning.
It was better than i expected.
Could see more stars and even more meteors,a couple of fireballs which were so fast .
The timelapse video had to be slowed to see these .
Overall totally surprised how these RPI hq camera and this lens performed very well.
Highly recommended .”
