Overview
Time to enjoy a smooth upgrade for your IMX219 to the 12MP IMX477 camera, or relieve the stress from the bulky Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera Module! This Arducam 12MP IMX477 camera module for Raspberry Pi has the same camera board size and mounting holes as the Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2, so no major hardware modifications are needed to ditch your 8MP IMX219 and embrace Arducam. Space- and weight- constrained IMX477 applications, such as drones, also benefits from this camera, because it keeps the same imager performance and same control commands as the official Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera, while offering a much smaller size and lighter weight, as well as interchangeable M12 lenses.
