Arducam 64MP Hawkeye Ultra High-Resolution Autofocus Camera Module for Raspberry Pi, Compatible with Raspberry Pi 5/4B/3B+/3B/2B/A+/Zero/W/Zero WH

I don't know about why there are so many reviews about having problems getting this camera to work with Raspberry Pi's. I bought this as I want to use it to do some satellite observation imaging/data collection. I'm using a Raspberry Pi 4B, went with a headless install, using Bookworm, mp64 Hawkeye camera. After the camera arrived, I went to Arducam's website and read the Hawkeye Quick start Guide, the hardware connection guide, and the software installation guide. After I felt like I knew what to do and used Raspberry Pi Imager to burn Bookworm OS to a 32GB microsd card, I logged into my Pi on my network and did OS updates to make sure I had the latest versions of everything. After that, I connected the camera cable, installed various packages as instructed in the Arducam guide, and ran test still image and test video commands. Up and running with the camera in about 15 mins - ezpz! I still have to do the autofocus stuff and then build/add the pan/tilt accessory, but I'm living proof that this works with Pi's without a lot of headaches. Good job on the documentation Arducam!

Not working as yet. 1 day in. The latest Raspian OS (trixie) was too far ahead of the compatible drivers, I downgraded to Raspian (bookworm) kernel 6.12.47 but seems on deeper inspection the available drivers are for 6.12.25 kernel. Poorly supported product.

Camera does what it needs too, and their support team was quick and efficient at solving the issue

A monster to set up, but after 10 hours of trying to get it to work, nice picture.

Pienso que fue un buen producto

I have tried so many guides (including theirs) to get this to work on a raspberry pi 5. It just wont work. Nothing I do or follow will allow me to access this on my pi5. I purchased two of these modules an neither will do anything. So bummed. Waste of so much of my time and money.

todo bien

I spent a couple of days learning how to interface with this thing to get the highest quality out of it. It's a fairly new product, so there are a few kinks that need to be taken care of. It's definitely not a plug-and-play type of camera. You need to install a few drivers and install certain libraries to call it from the code. For anyone stuck in trying to make it work, I highly recommend reading the documentation throughly and joining the ArduCam forum to get help. The quality you can get out of it is definitely better than the raspberry pi cameras though.

Product not working

Muy buena camara, sobre todo en la resolucion de las fotos, aunque tuve algun problema para hacerla funcionar con la Raspberry 3, pero eso fue por los parametros de configuracion y no por la camara.
