Received perfectly

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Received the product in few days, perfectly by postal mail. We are completely satisfied with the seller and the product arrived in good conditions.

Great little board that does exactly what it says it does.

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Great little board, has 4 extra channels that can be used to carry GPIO signals or whatever else you'd want to. The board and solders are very cleanly crafted.

Keep in mind that the RPi Camera is not hot-pluggable. So do not treat the cable like a true HDMI cable or you will not be able to connect to the camera, or in the worst case, you might damage it. The cable will need to be connected at boot to function properly.

great product, works well

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

The shipment took some time but the waiting was worth it. Very clever product, even included all necessary components (like flat cables) to fully connect and use it.

Working perfectly with a teensy 3.2

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

I am using this with a teensy 3.2 to monitor and control some of the functions in my electric car (converted old British sports car - MGB/GT). The photo board section is large enough to accomodate an isolated voltage/current sensor, opto-isolators, voltage level converters, real-time clock, etc. The quality of this board is exceptional, nice crisp traces and labeling making it easy to tightly pack discrete components. I will use another photo board for a second module with LED and relay drivers, opto-isolators, voltage level converters, etc. on the photo board section. I would like to try this next with a teensy 3.6, realizing that I may have to solder connections to the back-side pads on the extended section of the teensy 3.6.

12,5 HDMI cable - Doesn't works

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

I've tryed to connect with a 12,5 HDMI cable but doesn't works. The product works fine with a 1,5 HDMI cable.

Very good product!

Arjen | Oct. 6, 2016

Good product

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Product works like expected.

Whole package came inside a bubble lined envelope, and the two circuit boards were packed inside a zipbag.
The small mounting equipment and the two ribbon cables were also placed inside a zipbag, which is a good thing because the tiny nuts and bolts are easily lost otherwise. No documentation was included with the package. However, the instruction found in the product page are well described.

One thing of importance is the fact that the exposed part of the ribbon cable should face away from the circuit board, which is the opposite of the Camera module itself where the exposed part of the ribbon cable faces towards the circuit board. This is told in the instructions as well, although a closeup picture would be a nice addition to the instructions.

Does the job

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

It is picky about which HDMI cable it will use. After you find a working cable it does exactly what I wanted.

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!

Steve | Sept. 22, 2016

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.

I paid for the device but I did not receive it

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

The shipping without tracking should not be addmited at all nowadays. I am sorry there is no other option for shipping as I would have paid a little more just to make sure. I have ordered the extender one month ago, from Romania. 18$ loss.

Response from Petit Studio | Sept. 7, 2016

Hi,
sorry to hear this. You can always request Tindie support for a complete refund of your order, so "No Tracking" is not only a risk for you but myself also. I choose this shipping method because it is safe in 99% of the cases and very cheap for everyone at 3$ worldwide.

Mark | Aug. 25, 2016

Very good

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

It works perfectly with the Pi camera. It also works with the originals Rasperry Pi 7 "touchscreen.

Thank you very fast delivery

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!

John | Aug. 23, 2016

This product arrived as described and works as described

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Very useful for my application, and was easy to install. I had to change the hdmi cable i initially tried it with. The second cable worked immediately. I imagine that the first cable had no ground, as described on the website.
Since then, no problems

This product works, but best with premium HDMI cables

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

I am using this product to take periodic pictures from my bicycle using a Pi Zero and GPS to assemble them back into a movie. The circuit boards work well with thicker, premium cables but with cheap, thin, Chinese cables not so well. There is a fix on the creator's website, which does make the cheap cables work, but it's a bit difficult to solder to the circuit board's GND connection without lifting the trace. It would be nice if they had drilled and plated through the GND connection on the circuit board to make the job easier.

I bought two sets of these boards, did the mod on both sets. One set works, the other doesn't. If I look at the soldering job I did, I would have thought the one set that does not work looks like it's done better.

Great device, needs better shipping options.

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

This device is exactly what I was looking for and has made my Pi camera immensely more useful to me. Very easy to implement for anyone comfortable with installing the camera in the first place. Exceedingly pleased with the product. Freto shipped it the same day that I ordered it.

Unless I missed it, however, the _only_ shipping option was tracking-less shipping via La Poste. While I appreciate that it only cost $4 to ship this from France to California, I would have been happy to pay more for something that took less than 3.5 weeks to get here (after he shipped it), or at the very least be able to look up the status of the package.

Freto, you have a wonderful product, please let us pay for for speed & tracking if we're willing.

Excellent piece of hardware

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

... shipping was few days bit late and it was difficult to get in touch for asking when can I get it.

Otherwise I'm very VERY happy with this thing. Definitely going to get more of them!

Excellent idea

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

As I was searching for a possibility to build a door camera I found this extension board. The price is fair, so I gave it a try.

Only a few days after the purchase a letter from France found its way to me. Packaging was ok and the boards seemed to be well.

I was surprised that there where also screws, washers and so on in the package. Everything complete to mount the pi cam to the board. Excellent!

A few minutes later I connected a 2 meter HDMI cable to test the setup. What else to say: it worked like a charm.

Many thanks for realizing that idea of an extension. Much more robust than any solution with longer flatband cables from the original connection.

I am sure that there will follow some orders for more of the extensions from me.

Greetings from Austria

raspberry PI camera HDMI cable extension

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

A great product at a great price. Exactly what I was looking for! It was delivered on-time. It took me about 10 minutes to setup and install. It works perfectly. I highly recommend this product. The documentation could be a little better; perhaps showing some better installation pictures. There are only pictures showing the connection of one of the extension boards to the camera. There is no documentation showing the connection of the other extension board to the raspberry pi module.

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.

Torsten | July 7, 2016

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.

Rick | July 7, 2016

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...

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.

Perfect extension for Raspberry Pi Camera

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

To use the Raspberry Pi Camera in a distance to the Raspberry Pi itself, this HDMI-extension works perfectly well. A distance of about 8 meter has no visible effect on the quality, so you have much more possibilities to place your camera. The adapter is as small as the camera itself and fits perfectly to it. Unfortunally there is no description within the delivery, so you have to find your information on the traders homepage.
All in all it is worth to recommend this product without any concerns.

Russell | June 22, 2016

Great product, easy to connect up with HDMI cable mine is 4m

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

I wanted the camera to enhance a project to control valves on a swimming pool,( which is away from home), according to the temperature of the pool and solar pods. The temperatures are taken every 5 minutes and determine if water is to be circulated through the solar pods. The results are e-mailed back to me. I thought a photo of the garden added to the e-mail would also be an advantage. This means a camera situated away from the raspberrypi. The main difficulty was finding a housing for the camera. I found a cheap (£10) waterproof security camera which could have the guts swaped for the pi camera, so these HDMI extensions were just the job. The camera and e-mail work so it will soon be installed in the pool house. I now only need to find a way to mount the pi end in the case. I was wondering if a mini or micro HDMI sockets would help to make the pi end smaller and thus easier to install in the pi. Just a thought.

Velta | June 19, 2016

thank you

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

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

Diederik | June 17, 2016

Good product but limited range

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

When I installed the exterder at first it did not work with my 3 meter (cheap) hdmi cable i had planned for my setup. I then tried my 1.8 meter cable i use for my tv which thankfully did work. I bought a new 3 meter cable (again a cheap one) and sadly again no signal.
I then decided just to move my Pi within 1.8 meter and use the 3 meter cable for my tv.

Perhaps it can work with longer ranges if you use a higher quality cable.

Maybe the HDMI cables

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Overall very pleased with the product. Experienced some corruption on the images but this may well be down to the quality of the HDMI cables I purchased (from a different source). I had 1.0, 1.5, 2 and 5 metre cables the one that is most successful is the 1.5 metre. I did have to ground the connector shells (with a solder blob across the two pads on the pcb). I intend to try hdmi cables from a difference source to see if that makes any difference. But as I said I am pleased with the product and would not hesitate to buy more if the need arises.

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.

Jacob | May 31, 2016

Does exactly as it needs to.

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

For whatever reason I thought this was only a single board, but it does its job so this is not a complaint. I only wish I could track the package as it was sent to me.

Ernest | May 5, 2016

absolutely perfect!

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

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.
