It was exactly what I was looking for

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

I'm working on a big project / invention. I created a climate controller / grow assistant that helps people grow their medicine at home. It's called "Antheia". The heart of Antheia is a Raspberry Pi. One day, I want to sell it (here). So I have to make a beautiful and easy to use case for it. Antheia comes with a lot of sensors (Temperature, Humidity, Light, pH, EC, Water Tank, Soil Moisture, CO²) and they all have to be connect to the Raspberry Pi as easy as possible. Antheia comes with a camera too. So you can look at your plants without opening your grow box and destroying the micro climate you created. To connect the camera I'm using this product here. It's the only solution on the market that works without opening my Antheia Box and connect the camera directly on the board.
It's a little annoying that it comes from Japan. So it takes over a month to be delivered to me.

It does what it is supposed to

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

It arrived quite early(5 days, not really long). Did not check the images provided on the product page(silly me!) and it did not work first time. Then check the images, reconnected and it worked. So it did what it is supposed to. But if possible, the price should be cut down a little more to attract more customers.
Setting communication to OK as I did not talk to anyone.(I guess thats what communication rating is for)

A very fine product. It solves a common problem.

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

This is a Great product. This was exactly what I was loking for. It solves my problem with extending the camera of My raspberry, since I want the Cam in an other place than the raspbian. So far I have only tested this with still pictures and with a 2 meter HDMI cable. it worked great. For My use, this is perfect.
for an future improvement, why not make some adapter with mini/micro HDMI. But thanks anyway.

Pi 3 model B with 7" Touch Screen

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Great little product. Used with my 7" Touch Screen for an in-car infotainment system, and works exactly as expected. Plug and play with no instructions required, shipping was fine and very reasonably priced. Thanks!

Good Product

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Works as inedndet, the probles I had were caused by a defective HDMI cable.
Sharing the dimesions of the board (including holes) would be the last thing needed to make it better.

It works well / Ça marche bien

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

GND modification required (not mentioned in original materials) but very easy on version 2 circuit boards.
Thanks

Nice product, good service!

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Quick delivery of a good product for a good price. Allows easy connection of the Pi HDMI camera to the Pi 3.

Joel | Aug. 14, 2018

Great product

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Thanks very much, really helped me out with my car rear view camera. It only worked with HDMI Highspeed with Ethernet, other HDMI Cables did not work.

Martin | June 22, 2018

Good, works as expected, even included extras for mounting

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Product was as described, work as it should. Seems solid. Thanks for the extra screws for mounting the card on the camera itself!

Gordon | March 18, 2018

A useful addition which would be very difficult to fabricate

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

The camera extension kit arrived quickly and was well packed. There were no instructions included but these are published on the website so there was not a problem. The kit was very easy to assemble; fortunately, my camera was supplied with a fairly long lead attached to it so it was possible to use this lead on the RPi end. The one supplied with the kit would have been too short. However, apart from that, all worked well and the build quality is good. I would recommend this kit without hesitation.

Rafael | Feb. 11, 2018

Great Product

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Using this with my raspberry pi 3.

Works great! This is my second purchase and I would highly recommend it.

The additional lines (a,b,c,d) were perfect for my intention and
I was able to connect the raspberry Pi3's I2C's SDA and SCL lines to a BME280 pressure, humidity, and temperature sensor. The 3.3V and GND on the board powered the BME280. Hooked it all up to a 15 Foot HDMI cable and I not only get the picture I also get the use of the THP sensor.

Great Product!! Thanks!!

Milco | Nov. 13, 2017

Very nice product good quality, works like a charm.

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Needed this for monitoring my 3d printer, this way there was no need to build it myself.
Thanks very much.

Samuel | July 5, 2017

Great concept

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Perfect idea to separate the pi camera from the raspberry pi board. Received the product within one week (Switzerland). Works good out of the box. Tested successfully with a 10m HDMI cable. One small remark: sharp edges of the washers' holes could be broken. Personally, I used a drill bit of diameter 2mm to break these edges. The product is worth the price and I would buy it again.

Jay | April 27, 2017

Excellent product and works well

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

I've purchased several of these and they are of high quality and serve the purpose well. I have been using them successfully with 10m (35ft) HDMI cables, and only had issues with one of the cables. That problem was the cable itself, as when I exchanged the cable the camera and boards worked fine. Note that you'll want a thick passive HDMI cable (i.e. large wire gauge with shielding) to do that length. Recommended, and I'll purchase them again.

Anthony | April 27, 2017

Fantastic little boards - using with a 15 ft. HDMI cable

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

This was exactly what I was looking for and it works fine with a 15 ft. HDMI cable. There are really no negatives. Version 2 of the hardware has two adjacent contacts between ground and shield for an easy soldier bridge if you need it.

The only challenge is how to secure the Pi-side board. I ended-up using the standard camera ribbon cable (a little longer) and some double-sided tape to the pi case.

Tomasz | April 15, 2017

Good stuff

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

This helped a lot extending my rapsicam with IR. The only disadvantage I had was a crappy hdmi cable (for People who want to use it with ir lamps: use cable with less om resistance than 2.2, cable with 4.2 didn't even discover the camera). Good one !

Rik | April 10, 2017

Great product, fas delivery to NL

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Works great with 10m HMDI cable. The connector itself feels and looks well assembled. Sadly the same setup doesn't with my 5m HDMI cable, apparantly not all cables are compatible for this setup (cable works fine with other devices).

Hasnat | April 4, 2017

Amazing product

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Would definitely recommend!

But please don't be an imbecile like myself and not look at the pictures and try to connect one side of the HDMI in to the extender and the other side in to the HDMI port of the Pi (what was I thinking!?).

Once I had all the parts CORRECTLY fitted, it worked perfectly!

Philip | March 30, 2017

Great once you get the right cable

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

I'm using this to extend the range of the pi camera for a photo booth project. The HDMIs I had already didn't seem to work with this but I got myself an Amazon basics 15ft cable and it works a dream. The picture quality is just the same as if the camera was connected directly. I haven't used the extra pins yet.

It is worth having a good read of the instructions to ensure you get the cable the right way round too.

The cable I'm using successfully:

Great product

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Great product; I'm another delighted customer.
As others have said, some cables seem better suited than others.
A 4.5m Amazon Basics cable worked well for me.

Gerald | March 17, 2017

Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension is absolutely great

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

I am in the process of installing the raspi camv2 into my car as rearview camera and the pi camera HDMI Cable Extension is ideal for that.
The product is absolutely great, the shipping was ok, the post wasn't able to provide a working tracking system. Dokumentation is simple and good to follow (on the website). And the communication is very good.
I did some testing already and I am very happy with the great result.

Thanks

Required upgrade for picams

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

Does exactly what you want when receiving the product: convert the weak and noise-sensative ribbon to a schielded HDMI cable for the picamera with everything in the package. The nifty design makes it possible to sterdily mount the modules on a surface or in a case. In my case, the module can handle 11g's when applied in my graduation project.

Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

For Pi Camera HDMI Cable Extension

I used it to extend the Raspberry Pi 7 inch touch display from the mainboard. It works perfectly..

Serge | Oct. 28, 2016

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.

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.

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

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.

Gerald | July 25, 2016

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.

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.

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.
