ArduCam sent me their Pivistation 5 cameras, which are Pi 5s and Pi cases mashed up with three of their nicest camera modules, paired up with some nice lenses.
You can read more about the specs on their Kickstarter: kickstarter.com/projects/arducam/pivistation-5-your-all-in-one-raspberry-pi-5-camera-kit
WARNING: If you back the Kickstarter, there is no guarantee anything will ever ship to you. It is not the same as purchasing a product. I call it out in the video, I'm calling it out here... I don't think ArduCam will have any trouble manufacturing these cameras, but you've been warned!
(I also don't know why they feel the need to do a Kickstarter, these cameras could just be sold on their existing store, and it's not like they set a high goal...).
I also mentioned a couple other things in this video:
- My ArduCam Hawkeye camera module review: jeffgeerling.com/blog/2022/64-megapixel-hawk-eye-brings-high-res-imaging-pi
- AXIS 212 PTZ IP camera with fisheye lens: ebay.com/sch/i.html?&_nkw=axis+212+ptz
