This bundle includes an Arducam stereo camera HAT, two 8MP IMX219 camera module, and ribbon cables to connect them.
The stereo camera HAT allows you to use two Raspberry Pi cameras simultaneously on a single CSI-2 slot.
The stereo camera board frees you of any soldering in setting up your stereo vision with two Raspberry Pi camera module V2.
This Arducam 8MP Synchronized Stereo Camera Bundle Kit is capable of running two 8MP IMX219 Camera Modules simultaneously through a single MIPI CSI-2 camera slot connection on Raspberry Pi. It consists of two 8MP IMX219 camera module and an Arducam stereo camera HAT. The stereo camera HAT is enabled by ArduChip to disguise the dual-camera connection as a single camera to be accepted by the RPi. You can use this bundle to build your stereo camera system for depth-related vision applications or upgrade your IMX219 stereo setup.

Preface Standard Raspberry Pi, like the Pi 4, only offers a single CSI camera connector, but people would love multiple cameras for 3D applications. Arducam has figured out a way to connect the sync two cameras at the same time in 2019, and the following blog tells you all about it. A year later in […]
Introduction This Arducam 8MP Synchronized Stereo Camera Bundle Kit is capable of running two 8MP IMX219 Camera Modules simultaneously through a single MIPI CSI-2 camera slot connection on Raspberry Pi. The stereo camera HAT is enabled by ArduChip to disguise the dual-camera connection as a single camera to be accepted by the single-board computers. You […]
Because the B0298R kit includes multiple components, any hardware or software problems will simply make it doesn’t work, and the troubleshooting process will be a bit complicated. Please refer to the following steps for a step-by-step diagnosis. 1.Check driver and camera enable First, check whether the driver is correct and whether the camera is enabled,Please refer to the Check […]
Raspberry Pi board is not included in the package.
NOTE 2:
The IMX219 cameras in this kit is a special version and cannot be used on Raspberry Pi or Jetson directly. Its connection to the Camarray HAT is required.
NOTE 3:
8MP IMX219 Synchronized Stereo Camera Bundle Kit supports official driver and Arducam MIPI Camera driver, the difference between the two drivers is as follows:
①The official driver has good image effect, but does not support full spelling. The official driver supports official commands (raspistill and raspivid), can use the official ISP, has AWB, AE and other functions, the image effect is better. However, it does not support full spelling, it is compressed half spelling (to ensure the same resolution after compositing, the resolution of each camera is compressed in the horizontal direction by half, but the field of view remains the same).
②Arducam MIPI Camera driver supports full spell, but no ISP, the image is poorer. Arducam MIPI Camera driver supports full spelling, and the resolution in the horizontal direction is doubled after compositing, so the official ISP cannot be used. Because there is no AWB, AE and other image processing functions, the image effect is poor (the default image will glow green).
NOTE 4:
Oscillator sharing requires extra cables, soldering skill needed or please use Arducam bundle kit
NOTE 5:
The Camarray HAT is not sold alone for the following reasons:
Most of the cameras on the market are not designed for synched stereo uses. We’ve modified our camera modules specifically for the Camarry HAT. Your own V1, V2 or HQ camera modules won’t directly work with it.
The Camarray HAT requires different firmware for different Image sensors that are not natively working with your embedded systems. Your own IMX219 camera modules won’t directly work with it, and they are not easily interchangeable.
Customization is required if you have extra requirements as the following:
You need the camera module to run on other Video Modes and Frame Rates.
You need to trigger the camera with an External Hardware trigger.
