I ordered this to use with the Pi Zero 2W. To connect it to the Zero, you’ll need this cable: [ https://robu.in/product/raspberry-pi-zero-v1-3-camera-cable/ ].
The camera’s default resolution is 2592×1944, and the quality is better than expected.
However, I had to downgrade from Bookworm to Bullseye to get legacy support for this camera.

Works like Plug and Play on RPi4 and OctoPrint. It needs lights if you plan to keep your printer in a dark room. Still way worth the price.

I am a proper buyer and using it since a week now and here is my review
What i liked :
1) Easy install
2) Best picture quality even if so tiny..!!
3) works great
What i did not liked at all :
1) Camera is so delicate, so tiny tiny tiny. One would need magnifier lenses to see it..
2) It must be handled very softly, its camera mounted on its own board is loose and it keeps sleeping which fears me a lot and i am using it like i am handling a diamond. But diamonds are strong and this one is delicate.
3) It would have been better if USB camera with wire but delicate camera with data cable like old hard discs, make it un easy to handle and wire

As usual Robu’s packaging was good, fast delivery.
About cam, yes it worked. I was expecting wide angle view but it’s ok. It’s like ur normal mobile cam. Quality of video is good. Creating around 80k mn of file on Py.
Tried it for continues 5 hours keeping on. Slightly heated after 30min but the temperature was constant.
About 20% of cpu consumed for the live video streaming.
Overall good for the basic images and only for the live e view purpose

Module was inside a anti-static cover..so that really good.
Worked really well when connected to Pi. The photo and video quality was great (for 5MP camera).
Usage on Pi was easy-pesy 🙂
