Visit the Arducam Store
- Easy installation: Just detach the original stock IMX219 module onboard and re-attach this replacement
- Low Distortion: 70°(H) Low-Distortion (<3%) M12 Lens, minimize the image distortion and wide angle
- Wide Application: Widely used in optical instruments for space exploration, military, medical/biological/physical research, etc.
- Please note that the Raspberry Pi V2 Camera board is not included
Overview
This Arducam IMX219 low distortion lens camera module is designed mainly for Raspberry Pi V2 camera board and Nvidia Jetson Nano, replacing the default standard IMX219 camera module to get a low distortion of view (<3%). It can be used for drone, robot, action camera and 3D scanning applications.
★KERNEL CAMERA DRIVER USED
This camera relies on kernel drivers to work – one kernel version, one camera driver. Please refer to the Supported JetPack Version for Different NVIDIA Jetson Platforms to ensure compatibility.
★ SUPPORTED PLATFORM DISCLAIMER
This camera is specifically designed for the official NVIDIA® Jetson™ Developer Kit by default and does not support third-party carrier boards.
This camera does not support the standard Raspberry Pi models (like Raspberry Pi 3/3B+/4).
Application
- Drone, robot
- Action Camera
- 3D scanning applications
- Field animal camera
- Recording slow motion
- Machine vision, etc.
