If you have issues the seller will help you resolve them. ### ⭐ Just plain old doesn't work *by on Reviewed in the United States April 13, 2024* Connected to a Raspberry Pi 3b+ and a 4b fresh install of raspberry OS bookworm.. Didn't work on either device.. double checked to make sure that the ribbon cable was correctly installed, and libcamera kept on saying *** no cameras available ***Per the product description this camera should have worked right out of the box.. Yeah, Sorry, but that a Big NO.. what a POS ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Didn’t work with Octoprint *by on Reviewed in the United States March 13, 2023* I used on my rasp with octoprint and it didn’t work well at all, the camera it self with raspbian does work great. ## Frequently Bought Together - Arducam for Raspberry Pi HQ Camera, 12.3MP IMX477 High Sensitivity CMOS Pi 5 Camera, Comes with C-CS Adapter and Tripod Mount for RPI 4 Model B/3/3B+/Zero 2W - Arducam 8-50mm C-Mount Zoom Lens for IMX477 Raspberry Pi HQ Camera, with C-CS Adapter, Industrial Telescope Lens - Arducam C-Mount Lens for 12MP IMX477 Raspberry Pi HQ Camera, 16mm Focal Length with C-CS Adapter，Manual Focus and Aperture Adjustment --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/438400965-for-raspberry-pi-hq-camera-12-3mp-imx477-high-sensitivity](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/438400965-for-raspberry-pi-hq-camera-12-3mp-imx477-high-sensitivity) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-27*
