Be gentle while changing the lens and holders or you might damage the thread, but it’s easily fixable with a new m12 holder ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B013JTY8WY | | Brand | Arducam | | Built In Media | Camera Body, USB Cable | | Color | M12 Lens Camera for Raspberry Pi | | Compatible Devices | Raspberry Pi | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (212) 4.4 out of 5 stars | | Effective Still Resolution | 5 MP | | Exposure Control Type | Manual | | File Format | JPEG | | Focus Type | Auto Focus, Manual Focus RCA | | Lens | Fisheye | | Manufacturer | Arducam | | Manufacturer Part Number | B0031 | | Maximum Aperture | 30 f | | Maximum Focal Length | 36 Millimeters | | Minimum Aperture | 0.03 Millimeters | | Minimum Focal Length | 4 Millimeters | | Model Name | B0031 | | Model Number | B0031 | | Real Angle Of View | 56 Degrees | | Screen Size | 2 Inches | | Shooting Modes | Time Lapse | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Upc | 714119484438 | | Video Capture Format | MP4 | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Arducam - **Compatible Mountings:** M12(S Mount) - **Lens Type:** Fisheye - **Maximum Focal Length:** 36 Millimeters ## Images ![5MP OV5647 Camera Module with M12 Lens for Raspberry Pi, 1080p Video, 5MP Photos, Interchangeable Lens, Compatible with Pi A/B/B+/2/3/3B+ - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oe5oMQQeL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the sensor size of this board?** A: It is about 1/4 inch. **Q: Will this work to capture star light at night? I am trying to build an All Sky camera to view the stars.** A: I had previously answered this from the standpoint of trying to achieve good framerates while still managing to capture stars, and had reported that of course this is pretty much impossible. These particular cameras do not force high amplification, so unlike the ELP 1080P FHD01 USB cameras, you can't get high framerate motion in low light at the cost of high noise. With these OV5647 Arducam boards, you have to drive the framerate very low, costing you pretty much all sense of motion in the scene (except for where streaks are considered acceptable) but you can in fact collect fairly decent starlight. I only figured this out in the last day so that's why I didn't mention it before. It's not like using a good DSLR because the gain is low on these, but.... if you pass THIS to the camera, you can do some pretty interesting things for astro applications:raspistill -q 100 -w 2592 -h 1891 -ISO 3200 -ss 5000000 -ex sports -t 10000 -o longexp.jpg-q drives the image quality to 100%-w and -h specify the capture resolution.2592 x 1944 maxes this camera out, important for pinpoints like stars. I used 1891 for the height to push it to wider aspect but still avoiding the zoom in effect that happens at wider angle aspects. Try 1920x1080 to see what I mean.-ISO 3200 tells it to push the gain on the camera all the way. This is a bit past the specs of the cam to make sure it milks everything it can get.-ss specifies framerate in microseconds. I played with this value A LOT under dark sky tests and found that 5,000,000 microseconds was pretty much the max limit.-ex sports sets the capture to "sports mode", which is suprisingly important. It pushes performance out of the camera like none of the other modes can.-t 10000 forces the camera to time out and take the picture after ten seconds. I found that I could eliminate this and do fine. Increasing it does nothing for me.-o of course specifies the output filenameUsing this you'll get some noise but quite a lot of stars in capture, and since it's quite long, it's good for meteor trails as long as they are reasonably bright. The NOIR version of the cam really helps with that since it picks up on very hot objects especially well. **Q: a direct replacement to the Pi v2 camera? (dimensions are different, but the Jetson Nano requires the v2 sensor, yet I want telephoto)** A: We can meet your needs but that is not for sale on Amazon and please contact Arducam sales representative at info@arducam.com **Q: Is the included lens wider angle than the camera with no lens? Does anyone know the field of view?** A: Horizontal Field of view: 84 degrees Vertical Field of view: 63 degrees Diagonal Field of view: 105 degrees Without the lens it is just a sensor, so you won't have a focused image. The camera module is useless without a lens. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best Camera for your Raspberry Pi *by on Reviewed in the United States 20 January 2016* By replacing the fixed lens of the original Raspberry Pi camera with the common M12 lens mount system this upgraded camera gives you a wide array of inexpensive glass lens options for shooting with your Pi. The lens focuses by threading into the board mount and this allows for extremely close up macro photography. This camera worked right out of the box with both a Pi model B and a Pi 2 model B however it will not fit into cases designed for the original Raspberry Pi camera as the board is larger. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great results for the price *by on Reviewed in Canada 24 March 2021* I had the picam before and accidentally scratched the lens when trying to adjust the focal length. I decided to take a chance on this one because of the adjustable lens. This works just as well as the raspberry pi cam for my needs - close-up on small film frames. This worked with my Raspberry Pi 4 instantly, no issues, no firmware upgrades. Plug and play. The footprint of the circuit board is a bit bulky, but it's not an issue for my needs. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect quality for the price *by on Reviewed in Canada 9 February 2020* Perfect quality for the price, easy to use and good quality ## Frequently Bought Together - Arducam Lens Board OV5647 Sensor for Raspberry Pi Camera, Adjustable and Interchangeable Lens M12 Module, Focus and Angle Enhancement for Raspberry Pi 5/4/3/3 B+ - Arducam for Raspberry Pi Camera Ribbon Flex Extension Cable Set (7Pcs), 5.9” 7.87” 11.8” 19.69” 39.37” for Raspberry Pi, 2.87” 5.91” for Pi Zero - Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 2019 Quad Core 64 Bit WiFi Bluetooth (4GB) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co/products/269958151-5mp-ov5647-camera-module-with-m12-lens-for-raspberry-pi](https://www.desertcart.co/products/269958151-5mp-ov5647-camera-module-with-m12-lens-for-raspberry-pi) --- *Product available on Desertcart Colombia* *Store origin: CO* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
