Raspberry Pi Camera IMX477 - 12.3MP with C/CS Adapter

Raspberry Pi Boards are awesome tools that are as versatile as they are powerful, bringing a diverse level of functionality that can perform well for all kinds of different tasks and applications. This is what makes them so great for video and image capturing, as they can not only utilise Camera Modules to view the world, but they can also perform a whole lot of post-processing and other tasks with that imagery for even more advanced and complex projects than simple image or video recording, and that’s why they’re often used for basic AI Vision and machine learning applications. This is why we always jump at the opportunity to expand our range of Raspberry Pi Compatible Cameras, such as this awesome Raspberry Pi IMX477 Camera, which offers an impressive 12.3MP quality, but has also been equipped with a cool C/CS Adapter for C-Mount and CS-Mount Lenses, allowing you to integrate zoom and telephoto image capturing into projects for even more potential project possibilities.

Of course, from first glance it's easy to see that while this camera does offer great quality compared to most hobbyist cameras, the C/CS adapter is the key feature that differentiates it from other Camera Modules that we stock. However, this comes at the cost of requiring a C- or CS-Mount lens to operate properly. Fortunately though, we stock three different lenses, so that you can enjoy your camera in whatever way you please, catering to whatever level of zoom or telephoto you need, with the option to swap out lenses as you see fit - with this little camera module also supporting a large variety of other lenses that you can find online and at specialised stores due to the standardised fitting. These features, along with a good price range that accommodates hobbyists like us, makes it a solid choice if you’re looking for a camera for your Raspberry Pi projects, and with optional lenses to switch and swap between, you can expect to get a lot more use out of this than many other standard cameras.If you’re looking for a cool lens to attach to the included adapter for this IMX477 Camera Module, be sure to check out our C/CS-Mount Lens Range to find options for both telephoto and zoom, as well as possibly more to come in the future.

Please Note: This camera module requires a C- or CS-Mount Lense to operate properly, so if you’re looking for a cool lens to attach to the included adapter for this IMX477 Camera Module, be sure to check out our C/CS-Mount Lens Range to find options for both telephoto and zoom, as well as possibly more to come in the future.
