Arducam CSI to HDMI Cable Extension Module with 15pin 60mm FPC Cable for Raspberry Pi Camera V3/V1/V2/HQ (Pack of 2, 1 Set)

I got this because I bought one that didn't have the cable attached and was hard to get connected to. I later found out I had the wrong cable entirely, so this just seemed like the safer option. Works great. Much easier to connect to. Easier to use overall as well. Must buy if you need to add an HDMI port to your project as an input. Buy it if you need it.

I just received the CSI to HDMI Cable Extension Module and got it working with my new Pi 12 mp HQ Camera and the video quality is excellent. I made a mounting plate out of 1/8 inch thick polystyrene to the same size as the Pi 12 mp HQ Camera pwb (38 mm x 38 mm) and mounted it to the back of the Camera pwb with 6 mm standoffs and 2.5 mm x 10 mm hex cap screws. Before I attached the mounting plate to the Camera pwb I drilled a hole pattern that matched the camera Extension Module hole pattern and mounted the camera Extension Module to the mounting plate. Unfortunately the included CSI cable was too short to connect to the Camera CSI port so I substituted a 6 inch CSI cable which is a bit long, but works. I may purchase a 4 inch CSI cable in the future to take up some of the slack. In the future Arducam might want to include an optional mounting plate that matches the Pi 12 mp HQ Camera O&M and include 6 mm standoffs and hardware for the mounting plate. The Extension Module can then mounted to an appropriate hole pattern on the mounting plate. Update: I just bought a second CSI to HDMI Cable Extension Module and it works just as well as the first one!

Works well over all for my application. One thing I am trying to figure out is when paired with octoprint/octolapse it will not run in "usb" mode as is recommended for a pi-cam on octolapse. The pi-cam connected directly via the ribbon cable will, but these adapters wont.

This is an amazing addition to my Raspberry Pi computers. I recently bought a Pi 5 to replace a dying Pi 3 which pilots my 3 printer remotely and the video signal using a 1m ribbon was not satisfying with lots of interferences and frames lost. This set also includes the 15 to 22 pins adapter for the Raspberry Pi 5 which is a bummer as I ordered them separately as it was not stated in the product description so I have some spare ones... I connected this set to my Pi 5 with an HDMI cable and a pi camera V1.3 and the video quality is top notch. That is a super easy installation which extents quite a bit the distance between the Pi and the camera!!

One of my biggest worries for my project at first was how do I make a camera connection that's user friendly? Lucky for me that question was already answered and it led me here. It's as easy as hooking up the camera (twice). I was also wondering if the camera could be plugged and unplugged while the Pi was running and I'm happy to report that it can. If you try to take a picture with it unplugged raspistill just errors out with no further issues, plug it back in and it works! My only issue is I haven't found a case for the camera/adapter combo yet. That's not a problem with this product itself though. I've found that this product works seamlessly, without errors or quality issues, like it's not even there.

Have not been able to get these to work at all. There may be some little trick I’m not aware of but I’ve tried everything I know to try and neither one of the two works.

I hate long ribbon cables! This made it super easy to run my thinner HDMI cable around to the back of my printer and hide the cable easier than a long wide ribbon cable. If you unplug the hdmi you will need to restart the service running the camera. I thought it would be hot swap-able but once you unplug the hdmi it loses connection and doesn’t come back until restarted. This isn’t a bad thing since I don’t plan on doing that very often and efinitely not while printing.

Mine came still attached, and it was a little scary to have to break them apart. At first, I thought I was sent the wrong order, but then I noticed a scored line down the center between them. Crossed my fingers, and snapped them apart.
