Compatible Accessory for HQ Camera
This accessory is designed for the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera, which uses a 12.3MP IMX477 sensor. It suits users who need higher resolution and improved low-light sensitivity for projects such as security monitoring or specialist optical devices. The kit includes a 15cm cable for the Raspberry Pi Zero V1.3.
Build Quality and Mounting Flexibility
The HQ Camera board requires a separate C- or CS-mount lens to operate, giving builders the freedom to choose optics matched to their application. The supplied 15cm cable connects the camera to a Pi Zero V1.3 board, keeping the installation compact while maintaining a reliable link for image data.
Upgrade Path from Camera Module V2
This accessory supports the HQ Camera, which offers nearly 50% greater pixel area than the older Camera Module V2 for better low-light performance. The jump is worth it when a project demands higher visual fidelity or interchangeable lenses, but it is not for buyers who only need a basic fixed-focus module.

Questions about this item
Which Raspberry Pi boards does the 15 cm cable connect the HQ Camera to?
The 15 cm cable fits the Raspberry Pi Zero V1.3 camera port, so the HQ Camera can be used with that board and other Pi models that share the same connector.
What lens mounts does the HQ Camera accessory support for the IMX477 sensor?
The HQ Camera accepts both C-mount and CS-mount lenses, giving you a wide choice of optics for the 12.3 MP IMX477 sensor.
How is the 15 cm cable attached to the HQ Camera and the Pi Zero, and what is the common mistake?
Insert the cable with the metal contacts facing the PCB on both the camera and the Pi Zero V1.3; the frequent error is reversing the connector so the contacts face away.
