Arducam CSI to USB UVC Camera Adapter Board for Raspberry Pi HQ Camera, 12.3MP IMX477 Camera Board

Purchased to put together a camera for my microscope. works well, easy to connect to the lens and it does what i need it too. The picture quality is good but a little washed out but after some adjusting in post it's pretty good.

This adapter board is very useful for the purpose it was made for. It adapts CSI sensor modules to USB 2. But my problems with it mainly come from some characteristics that feel like an oversight. You can do 720p @ 100 fps, but that's all for 720p. You can't run it at lower frame rate, let's say 720p @ 30 fps. Running high frame rate is not always good because it gives the sensor less time per frame to capture the light, and as a result, the higher the frame rate is, the darker the image gets. There are some settings to change the exposure time, but they are best left at auto, because manual adjustment still isn't perfect, and ends up with choppy frame rate. Many applications default to 720p when using a webcam, and always end up with dark image as a result. This might be possible to fix with a firmware update, should Arducam supply one. Other than, it would be nice to see a USB 3 version of this product that does YUV uncompressed video. UPDATE: there is a newer version of the camera firmware available on Arducam forums that fixes this fps issue. After the update, I change my review to 5 stars.

Funciona de forma correcta en Windows, en Linux necesita drivers especiales pero fuera de eso funciona correctamente

Works well, thanks.

Das Konzept und die Idee sind super!!! Aber: mehr als eine UVC Webcam wird aus der Raspberry HQ Kamera damit leider nicht... Keine Belichtungszeit über 0,5s, kein Raw-Format, dafür aber extremes Bildrauschen durch die Komprimierung. Naja sie bemühten sich
