“I did have a problem with the extension not working with any cables and after trying all the mods I discovered that the ribbon cable was inserted the wrong way in the adaptor as this connector is different to the one on the camera.
Now the extension works with all my cables without any mods.”
“These do work, but it is hit and miss with the HDMI cable - I mistakenly ordered a ten metre one which is a high speed one of good quality but it doesn't work unfortunately, I also conversely have two very short six inch cables, neither of which work. I have however had it working very well with a couple of cheap and cheerful basic leads of about two metres, it appears to be a lottery what cable will work. I need mine to reach the back of a 109 Land Rover, the routeing of which will be interesting to say the least. I think a 5 metre one will be long enough I just need to find one that works.
I'm using my kit with a knock off Pi camera which has the infrared LED's, I have to say assembly of the camera with the adaptor and the LED's all at once (they all use the same screw holes) is tricky for a human with only two hands, but I got there in the end.”
“Great tool to have in the tool box. I've used it for adding a camera to the Raspberry Pi attached to my 3D printer and the external I/O drive the LEDs for printing at night time.”
“Works really well, but it does seem to be hit and miss which HDMI cables will work with it (and I'm not talking about the data shield issue). Once you find a cable that works its great. I have had it working with a Zerocam nightvision with a 10m cable! (I did have to turn the brightness of the IR LED's right down in the dark due to the loss of power in the long cable)”
“In my use case (soldering microscope) , I would have the HDMI cable coming in from the top
and the CCD sensor board pointing downward .. thus I wouldn't have to mate the two boards with the screws”
