Awesome little board.

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

My cable is about 1 meter and it works perfectly with my raspberry pi. I use the "spy" camera with no issues at all.

Awesome little boards!

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

I'm using a Raspberry Pi Zero and NoIR camera on my telescope. The official camera cable is too short and too delicate to mount it anywhere. This extension lets me mount it farther away on the body and looks much cleaner and stronger.

Thanks!

So much easier and superb quality,

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

I received the order in less than two weeks from France to the US which is quite fast in my opinion. This product is nothing short of awesome! Being able to use an HDMI cable in lieu of a image degrading ribbon cable on my Pi cameras is so nice especially if you want to extend the cable more than 12 inches. Configuration was a snap, very clean mount and just an overall great product. Will order more when the need arises!

Thank you!

works as expected

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Ease to assemble due to clear description and images. Works as expected. Just plugged in a 5m HDMI and camera works as usual.

Mark | Aug. 23, 2016

Great product!

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

This is a fantastic product. I am using it to extend a camera on a robotic arm and feeding the pictures back to a Raspberry Pi. Couldn't have done this without it!

Valuable addition to the PI

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

While trying to build a robot based on the new Raspberry PI Zero v1.3, I was facing the problem of how to extend the camera cable in a durable fashion. The plan is to build a PTZ assembly, which will put some stress on the cabling.

While looking around the Internet for solutions, I found the HDMI Cable Extension. For me it works just perfect with the PI Zero, the PINoir camera module v2, and a ultra slim, flexible HDMI cable. The mounting holes perfectly fit the ones on the camera module and I can't see any difficulties in image or video quality.

However, not every HDMI cable seems to work, so I had to experiment a bit with different cables to get it up and running.

All in all a great product and a major improvement over the whimsy camera cables provided for the PI.

Perfect product for my application...

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Great product! I'm using the Pi camera for a vehicle instrumentation project. Running a 2 meter ribbon cable up the B-pillar and through the headliner is a NON-STARTER. This adapter allowed me to run hardy HDMI cables through the tough stuff and then have Pi pieces on either end.

All the screws, nuts, spacers, and cable are provided for "easy" connection. Tiny fingers and patience in screwing everything together are valuable assets for this job.

Compatible with both normal and No IR Pi cameras. I'm using the latter with an added IR illuminator that screws right to the Pi camera board. The enclosure listed on the Tindie site would not, unfortunately, work with the IR add-on. If such an enclosure had been available, my work would have been done. Instead, I had to fabricate a custom enclosure. I may have to push into that space for the next project.

Customer service and shipping could not have been better. Although these were coming from France, I was able to get them in about a week, including clearing customs.

Functionally, I've had no problems with these in my application, which uses a 15' HDMI cable.

Thanks for making at least one part of this complex project easy...

Christian | July 7, 2016

Works very good

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

I use the Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension in an industrial environment. The HDMI-cable is installed near a frequency coverter. There are no interferences in the video material. Works fine with an 3 m cable.

Zhouxin | July 3, 2016

satisfied

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

The abroad delivery went wrong address without tracking at first time. The seller was nice to talk with and resent a trackable one. Each package comes with necessary chip, cable and screws. Slim my pi project perfectly.

Velta | June 19, 2016

thank you

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Worked perfectly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ewald | June 5, 2016

Works fine

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

I've searched for a solution like this and found this shop in a forum. The adapters are working as expected. Delivery time took 7 days. That's really ok.

Ryan | May 3, 2016

These things are great!

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

These things worked great to replace the long ribbon cable on my OctoPrint 3D Printer Server. With the constantly moving build plate, the HDMI cables allow much cleaner movement. These are great, I will be ordering again for other projects. Plus shipping from France to US was quite fast.

Chris | April 27, 2016

Cable extenders worked perfect

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Worked first go with a 3 metre HDMI cable, I have 3rd party cameras so I had to run the flat cable a different way, the instructions gave me enough information to connect them correctly. Great product, look forward to buying more Petit Studio creations.

Yuri | April 4, 2016

Works properly

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

It is a great product to make a SOHO CCTV. I used Raspberry PI B+ and 4 meter HDMI cable, works good.

Jean-Baptiste | March 14, 2016

well thought

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

This cable extension should actually come with the PI camera! Then, one could be free to install the camera either close to the PI or slightly away from it

Jeffrey | Feb. 25, 2016

Great!

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

This adapter is great! I used it with the third party NoIR camera sold by SainSmart. The mounting holes line up, however because the connector is on the front of the camera board I had to mount the camera upside-down in order to get the ribbon cable to be connected correctly. It still works well though, just requires some software changes to flip or rotate the image. The four extra pins and exposed 3.3 and GND are going to be very useful to add some additional devices at the camera as well.

Bill | Feb. 2, 2016

Works as expected

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

I am using this CCA for a octopi setup. Wanted to keep the raspi closer to my ATX power supply and the stock ribbon cable only comes in 30 cm max. This worked with a 6ft HDMI cord with no problems.

Igor | Jan. 29, 2016

UPD: Finaly delivered!

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

The package indeed was from Japan, thats explaines such a long trip. Thanks to seler for such valueble product!

>>>23 days passed, perhaps to much for sending a package within Europe. No tracking number provided. No options to check if it was really sent.

HDMI extender for Raspberry Pi Camera

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Brilliant bit of kit. Works straight away and very easy to assemble. Well worth the money and really quick delivery.

Scott | Dec. 24, 2015

just arrived

Great adapter, could use some tweaks

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

The camera adapter works great after a bit of tweaking.

First it didn't work at all with any of the HDMI cables I tried, which was noted in the description that this may happen with cheaper HDMI cables without the proper ground wires. The seller says you can create a ground by putting a strand of solder from one spot on the board to one of the pins on the adapter (see his blog post link at the end of the assembly instructions). The photo he has of this fix is out of date however as he has redesigned the circuit board to have a specific ground connection spot where all you have to do is solder a tiny blob to join a purposely broken connection (looks like 2 small rectangles in the corner of the board).

After I soldered that connection on both circuit boards the camera would work perfectly with any HDMI cable. Since the test was done, now it was time to assemble it all together with the provided spacers and screws. I found this to be extremely annoying because you're trying to hold a camera, circuit board, ribbon cable, screws, spacers, washers, and nuts all at the same time while trying to tighten the screws. I must have dropped each piece of hardware at least 3 times each. You need 3 pairs of hands to hold everything together because the ribbon cable acts as a spring forcing the camera and adapter apart which is why everything keeps moving around. My partial solution for this was to measure the spacers and rebuild them in 3D to be connected to each other with tabs so that it was a single piece rather than 4 little pieces. After I printed that out, I also printed out the sellers thingiverse model of the case. It was only after trying to assemble everything that I realized that the supplied screws are not going to work with the case because they're too short. It was going to be next to impossible to find those same type of tiny screws in a longer length here in town, so I ended up rebuilding the case in 3D and modified it so that the screws could just barely work.

Last modification I did was to add a ring lip to the front of the case around the camera lens so that I could attach a small magnetic wide angle lens to the case. This gives a better view of the print bed while keeping the camera close to the printer.

Long story short, some longer screws and linking the 4 spacers into a single part would be nice.

Great; take care in choosing cables

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Works just fine with my thicker hdmi cable, doesn't work at all with cables that have redmere (in retrospect, duh), and with the posted fix for cheaper slim cables it worked, but variably; the latter is likely due to shoddy cables as I bought three of the same make and two ended up not working even with the ground fix (I bought multiple converters too, so I was able to pin it down to the cables).

Kev | Sept. 28, 2015

Works Great

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

This product arrived from France to the UK in about 2 weeks.

First impressions are that the product is very well made, obviously a lot of thought and care have gone into the design.
I'm very electronically 'challenged' so couldn't begin to describe how it works but the description given by the Petit Studio is simple enough for even me to know I've bought the right product for my needs.

The camera didn't give a feed from the first HDMI cable I tried ( I think this may have been supplied with my PS3), but swapping it for the cable from my Sky+ HD box worked a treat.

I'm now going to purchase a thinner or flatter HDMI cable to provide a more streamlined or lighter setup.

All in all, delighted with my purchase and would consider buying another product from Petit Studio.

Yazeed | July 4, 2015

Great idea, great product

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

This is GREAT, i used the 5 cables i found lying around that came with cheap DVD players and android boxes, none of them worked so i thought there was a problem with the kit (I tried the grounding thing, did not work either), then i went and got a sixth cable (2M SAMSUNG Mobile phone HDMI cable), and it worked perfect, so before you tell this man that it did not work, try a good cable, there is nothing he can do about the bad cables on the market, unless he can start selling HDMI cables himself, but would you want to pay to ship that from Japan ?

For people complaining about the lack of instructions ! seriously, the thing is simpler than ANY LEGO game designed for a 6 year old, put the cable that fits in the right hole, and if you are finding that too complicated, take a look at the photo he posted, what more instructions do you need ?

I found angle adapters for $1 in an electronics store to give it that 90 degrees cable connector, I also hot glued that to the board, and ot glued both the board and the 90 degree adapter to the case, so that i can simply plug and unplug from the $1 adapter, this way, if i pluck it out the wrong way, i will break the thing that is not essential, and i don't need to wait for 5 days for a new adapter from Japan.

All in all, I love this product, I will buy it with every camera board i get from this point on, i tried 1 meeter ribbon adapters, 1 meeter round adapters, Nothing is as simple and reliable as this solution, more power to you man.

George | June 19, 2015

It does what it is supposed to do and does it well.

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Best solution I have seen for extending Pi camera range. I'm currently using a slim 6 ft HDMI cable and it works great!

Kristopher | June 11, 2015

Very Nice

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Nice little board to connect a Raspberry Pi camera to a Raspberry Pi using an HDMI cable. Fast shipping, I just got this yesterday so based on the post mark it took 5 days to get to Upstate New York from Japan. I think I will order a few more when I set up my Raspberry Pi home surveillance system. (Feature Request: I would like to see a version of this board with the HDMI port coming 90 degrees off the board instead of off the edge.)

Response from Petit Studio | June 11, 2015

Hi Kristopher,

Thanks for the feedback. I would also like to make a board with 90 degrees connector, it would be more natural for the camera I think. I searched the Internet and did not find such HDMI connector.
To hold the board at 90 degrees from the camera I use two small supports like shelf braces with the vis from the kit.

Lewis | June 4, 2015

Perfect

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

This is exactly the product I wanted to complete my IP camera based on a Raspberry Pi. Now I can separate the camera from the Raspberry Pi board by quite a distance using a cheap HDMI cable and it works exactly as described. I've tested only with a 1.5 metre HDMI cable so far but will be trying longer cables soon. The addition of the 3v3 and a, b, c, d solder points was genius too as I'm considering adding a PIR sensor and using the Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension board to send the 5V, ground and data for the PIR. Great product, rapid delivery (Japan to UK in 5 days!). Thank you!

Great Little extension kit

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

I have used the HDMI extension kit to enable me to put the camera at the top of the window in my car for a crash / dash cam and it is working fine with a 2 meter cable i did have an issue with another cable i`m not sure why maybe it was not 1.3-1.4 compliant or the grounds wher not connected correctly but that is not the extension kits fault. i was delivered fast and was easy to assemble i would recommend the extension kit over the kit that just uses ribbon cable due to the extra shielding and data rate. If you use a Pi Camera you need one of these many thanks Mick Review Image

Response from Petit Studio | May 27, 2015

Thank you for the review, I'm glad you like the kit. For the cable that did not work, did you try the easy fix I describe on my blog?
http://petitstudio.blogspot.jp/2015/05/hdmi-cables-are-not-all-same.html
Most of the thinner or cheaper cables don't have proper grounding.

Colin | May 5, 2015

Does what it say's on the tin!

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

This was just what I had been looking for, I'm using a 5mtr HDMI lead lead and everything's working just fine.
It's one of those products where you think "neat, why didn't I think of that" .

Very happy with the product and would recommend to colleagues.
