Questions about this item

How much power does the IMX477 camera draw when recording continuously on a Raspberry Pi 5?

The IMX477 camera is powered directly from the Raspberry Pi board through the 22-pin MIPI CSI interface, so its draw is included in the Pi's overall consumption and does not require a separate power supply.

Which Raspberry Pi boards and cables are needed to use this IMX477 camera kit?

The kit includes a 300 mm 22-22 pin cable for Raspberry Pi 5 and Zero, plus a 300 mm 15-22 pin cable for Raspberry Pi 4B and 3B+, so you only need a compatible Pi board and the supplied cable.

Will the 6 mm CS lens work on an older Raspberry Pi 3B+ with the 15-22 pin cable?

Yes, the 6 mm CS lens is pre-attached to the IMX477 module and the 15-22 pin cable connects the camera to the Raspberry Pi 3B+ CSI port for full functionality.
