The HDMI extension worked perfectly and came with ribbon cables, screws and plastic standoffs. It took me about two minutes to remove the Raspberry PI camera and insert the extension using a 20 foot HDMI cable. I am very pleased.

Awesome!

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

I've tested it with a 5 meter long HDMI cable and it works perfectly - no problem at all. It's an awesome product!

Great product

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

The set works great, allowing flexibility in camera placement and leaving the raspberry box including the attached cables nicely hidden out of sight.

Toimii

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Toimii, mutta pitää olla laadukas hdmi piuha. Halvoilla hdmi piuhoilla ei toimi.
Itselläni toimi DELTACON ohuella HDMI-kaapelilla.

Great

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Took about a week to arrive once posted, which I can't fault as it came from France, I found it really easy to set up, though the size of the bolts and spacers coupled with the springy-ness of the ribbon cable could make it fiddly. Works brilliantly.

If anyone is interested I bought a NEET ultra-slim 3m HDMI cable (http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00J2SVFNM), which worked perfectly with the adapters (no soldering the ground needed) and is nice and slim (~4mm cable diameter)

Perfect

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

The adapters was easy to assemble and work as expected. I can see no decline in camera quality caused by the longer cable (1.5m in my test). With the flexible and longer cable between Pi an camera it's much easier to align the camera. And with two of the adapters it's possible to change between 'normal' and NoIR camera when the Pi is running.

The sender was in France, but the package was shipped from Japan. So the shipment take a little bit longer than expected.

super product

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Fantastic product, well made, no problems it just works. I used a 5 meter HDMI cable and there are no losses or strange happenings, I presume it can do a much longer cable

Nice product with fast delivery

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Product does what was promised and works well. Good work done in packaging & fast delivery. Thanks!

David | Nov. 11, 2015

Exactly what I expected. Would buy again

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Great product. My only criticism might be that the supplied ribbon cables were too short for my application, but maybe I should have checked that before I bought!!

Ovidiu | Oct. 23, 2015

I tried...

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

I tried to make my own flexible RPi camera cable. It worked but there was a lot of interference and the video quality wasn't too good. ... it didn't cross my mind to use a HDMI cable.. Then I found this and immediately ordered 2 sets (just in case). Arrived to Singapore in 9 days. Works like a charm!!!!

Love this thing

For Teensy 3* Proto Board & Arduino Shield V1.1

I've got this and the Teensy 3.1 breakout and I love them both. I keep debating whether or not I want to attach one of those mini breadboards to it or not (kinda don't want to ruin it since it'd kind of be a waste of space if I wanted to put a shield on it).

My only real gripes are that the silk-screening is a bit hard to read - though there are a boatload of pins, so I can certainly see how labeling would be problematic! I just ended up printing out a cheat sheet, though it too is a bit hard to read (darn all those options lol!)

The other is that while the double rows of pins for the teensy is an excellent idea, its a tad close to the shield area making it difficult to use the pins on the side of the board facing a shield (depends on the shield I suppose).

I'd love to see someone printing pinouts on the headers like the Uno (from Arduino themselves). Would make things so much easier.

I suppose too, it'd be nice to get a US distributor for faster shipping, though it was pretty quick anyway.

Keep up the awesome work!

Armando | July 20, 2015

The product is very good

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

I install the product on a Raspeberry Pi model B using a Pi Camera Noir (v 1.3) and an Amazon Basic HDMI cable (1m long). The components and the video quality are very good.

Great things do come in small packages

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

I bought the HDMI extension so I could play around with stop motion animation with my Raspberry Pi. I had to solder extra wire to the case as the cable I have isn't well grounded and I had trouble working out which way the ribbon goes into the slots. A detailed webpage with images would have helped a lot.

Once I had it up and running it was great. All I need to do now if try and find a lighter cable or a better way to mount the camera but that's another adventure...

Peter | June 25, 2015

Really impressed.

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

No documentation though pretty self explanatory, a quick check on the web found the documents.

It'll definitely help with future projects, if i can find some longer screws then it can be used with this product that i already have the camera mounted in. at the moment the ribbon is loose.

Great product and perfect support!

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

I order two sets and they arrive really fast within two weeks her in Austria (Europe) .

But then none of them are working because I used HDMI cables which are not working with this adapters, but the support was perfect, the response in time and I also get an second delivery to be sure that the adapters are working within one week!

After I bought an other HDMI cable the adapters work now perfectly and I am happy with this product and supplier!

Roy | June 5, 2015

Outstanding value

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Although there was a delay in shipping (out of stock from high demand no doubt), when it did ship it arrived very quickly. This product works exactly as advertised and an outstanding value. I'm amazed at the price and the VERY reasonable shipping charges especially given it comes from Japan to the US. Most US companies would have charged $15 alone for shipping within the US. Great job Petit Studio!

Michael | May 28, 2015

Fantastic product, great value, shipped promptly.

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

I ordered this item as soon as I saw it on the Raspberry Pi Foundation blog. The prices both for the kit and the shipping from Japan are excellent and it arrived in a few working days. I didn't assemble it until my 3D printer arrived but the first thing I printed was the camera case. I have now assembled it and it just works! I am using a €2, 2m cable from a Eurostore with no problem. This is a fantastic product and everyone with a Pi camera could do with one.

update re hdmi extention

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Raspberry pi now have been checking out the board and Les Pounder now has one ..

Much more freedom how and where to place the Pi camera

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

This is one of the best ideas I have seen in the Pi and Pi-camera connections. The original flat cable is sturdy and short and not easy to hide: with this set you can use any normal HDMI cable. I bought a 4mm thick cable (50 cm long) and it works great. (see picture). The camera housing I have made of a piece of plastic cable conduit and the combination is now in use as a dashcam and works great.
The next project is to also incorporate a PIR sensor. Than a surveillance camera set is born to be used in my mobilhome.
The Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension set is already prepared for that: it has a couple of spare connections that can be used for that purpose.
Great set!!

Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension I showed this off To the Preston Raspberry Jam #Rjam
By the end of the night I had at least 6 plus people asking where to purchase and Ideas to use this cable.

Its an easy kit to extend the use of the camera on a Raspberry Pi , One of the Writers for Linux Format is about to purchase one so maybe a full review in uk magazine very shortly.
attaching camera to adaptor is very easy and then connecting hdmi is very easy ;-)

I would suggest that the raspberry pi end is attached to a case or the potential to "rip" the connection out by accident is possible .

Documentation is lacking - I would advise people NOT to plug and unplug the camera whilst the pi is on as this might cause damage only plug unplug whilst pi is turned off.

I did try to upload a photo - it failed so here is the link of me doing the demo

Response from Petit Studio | April 16, 2015

Hi Dave,

thank you very much for this review and the demo you made. I hope people are finding good use for this extension.
For plugging and unplugging cameras, the constraints are exactly the same as with the standard ribbon cable. I have not been able to find any relevant documentation for this but your advice make sense to stay on the safe side. However I can comment from my experience, that to operate a Pi camera it must be pugged at boot time and should still be plugged for a clean shutdown. In between you can plug and unplug cameras without problem as long as they are not filming; this is what I do when I test every kit.

Thanks again.

Great quality, fast shipping, maybe more documentation?

For Teensy 3* Proto Board & Arduino Shield V1.1

I just received my kits and board. I ordered 4 kits and one assembled board with a Teensy 3.1. That way I could see and test a sample that was pre-assembled, in case for any reason my soldering skills weren't perfect. At least I'd have a tested working unit. I also wasn't sure how many of my Teensy's I would actually need to solder on the bottom pins/headers, so I can use the kits either with or without the bottom pins.

As someone else said, the quality of the boards is very nice, reminiscent of the Adafruit Perma-Proto boards, which in my mind set the quality standard. Nice solder mask, gold plated through holes.

I'm much more of a beginner with respect to the advanced features that Michael refers to in his review, but clearly the v1.1 version of the board incorporates some (many?) of Michael's suggestions. As a frequent contributor to the Teensy forum, Michael's comments and observations are probably good ideas. Since I have a few years to get to that level, I am glad there are people like Michael who take the time to dig into something like this board to help make it even more useful.

There is a lot going on with this board, and the Teensy 3.1 in general too. A couple more added comments in the datasheet/documentation might help…
1) A version number on the silkscreen might be useful. If the design evolves a bit more, it would be good to be able to tell at a glance which board you have (I know I'll be ordering more over time).
2) There are 3 solder pads on the bottom near Res. I can't tell what they are for, and I cannot find any reference to them.
3) I am still learning the variations of power for the Teensy 3.1... Vusb, Vin, LiPo, etc. Perhaps a note (or link) that explains the possible permutations, and why and when one should use one or the other would be helpful, including the jumper on the board. It can be very confusing, even piecing together the hints from the Teensy forum.
4) I also do not fully understand when to use/add resistors for the i2c pins. A comment or guidance on the datasheet might be helpful too.

All-in-all, a beautiful board that will help tremendously with access to all the pins, functionality and versatility of the powerful Teensy 3.x.

Thanks for taking the time to design and produce such a useful board.

Response from Petit Studio | March 20, 2015

Thanks Jon for the encouraging comments,

Indeed I implemented a few of Michael's ideas in this small revision. The solder pads and jumper functions are described (too briefly I agree) in the documentation. Did you find the Datasheet? there is a button on the right side of the product page which links to the documentation, this is Tindie's default layout and not obvious to discover.

The Jumper is there to avoid feeding power to the board voltage converter when you are working only from the Teensy's USB power. The jumper should be in place when you are not powered from USB for programming or if you shield use more power than your Teensy can output. Note that in most cases there is no conflict to leave the jumper plugged and have both USB and external power.

Very good product

For Teensy 3* Proto Board & Arduino Shield V1.1

I bought an assembled board which came surprisingly quickly from Japan. I am more than satisfied with the fit and layout of the board. I have big hands. The board is actually easier for me to work with than an Arduino Uno. Lately, I have been playing with various LCD screens. I have a Nokia 5110 set up on a breadboard which tests well with an Uno. I use Adafruit's libraries and example sketch. When I wired it up to the Arduino shield, it did not work at first. Upon examination, I had misplugged the Teensy. This is a problem with my big hands and sometimes questionable eyesight at close ranges. When I plugged the Teensy in correctly, everything worked. Because the Teensy is teensy, it might be wise to put a dab of color on the first socket. I think the jumper threw me off.

Great Development Board for Teensy 3.1

For Teensy 3* Proto Board & Arduino Shield V1.1

The board is perfect for fast prototyping.

I plugged the Teensy 3.1 in and added a Adafruit 2.8'' TFT.
It works like a charme.

Highly recommended.

Kind Regards
Andreas
