Product Description

The Raspberry Pi Camera Module (Standard Version) is a high-performance, lightweight imaging solution designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi ecosystem. Powered by the 5MP OV5647 sensor, this module captures stunning high-definition video and high-resolution stills. It connects directly to the dedicated CSI port on your Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 using a short, flexible ribbon cable, ensuring a low-latency, high-bandwidth data path to the processor. This module is the industry standard for computer vision projects, time-lapse photography, and security monitoring setups across robotics labs and DIY workshops.

Detailed Key Features

  • High-Definition Imaging: Delivers crisp 5MP still images and supports multiple video recording modes, including smooth 1080p at 30 frames per second.

  • Direct CSI Interface: Plugs directly into the S5 connector on the Raspberry Pi board, utilizing the dedicated hardware bus for minimal CPU overhead.


  • Ultra-Compact Footprint: Measuring approximately 25mm x 24mm x 9mm, it is easily integrated into small drone frames, custom enclosures, and compact surveillance housings.

  • Native Support: Fully compatible with the official libcamera and legacy raspistill/raspivid software libraries, allowing for rapid deployment and easy coding.

  • Versatile Mounting: Features four integrated screw holes on the PCB for secure mounting to brackets or tripods.

All Technical Details

  • Focal Length: Standard 3.6mm lens providing a ~65-degree field of view (Horizontal).

  • Communication Protocol: I2C for control and MIPI CSI for high-speed data.

  • Operating Temperature: Optimized for -30°C to 70°C, suitable for outdoor weather stations.

  • Weight: Extremely light at ~3 grams (excluding cable).

  • Cable Included: Ships with a standard 15cm flex ribbon cable for Pi 3/4.

Prototyping & Engineering Tips (Robogears Exclusive)

  • Connector Orientation: When inserting the flex cable into the Raspberry Pi's CSI port, ensure the blue tab faces the Ethernet/USB ports on the Pi 3/4. Incorrect orientation is the #1 cause of "camera not detected" errors.

  • Static Awareness: The CMOS sensor is highly sensitive to static discharge. Always handle the module by the edges of the PCB and avoid touching the golden components or the lens directly.

  • Manual Focus: Although marketed as fixed focus, you can gently turn the lens (using a specialized tool or precision tweezers) to adjust the focus for macro photography or distant landscapes.

  • Zero Compatibility: If you plan to use this on a Raspberry Pi Zero, you will need a specialized "Zero Camera Cable" as the CSI port on the Zero is smaller than the one on the Pi 3/4.

Package Includes

  • 1 x 5MP OV5647 Camera Module

  • 1 x 15cm Flex Ribbon Cable (Standard Pi Interface)
