Keeps my Pi4x4Gb around 40-50 C. I think connecting a camera will be an issue as there is minimal access to the on board connector. The thermal stickers appear to have different sides. I put the sticky side on the upper case first, then fitted it to the Pi so they stay more on the case rather than the Pi chips (I am not sure if this is the correct fitting method). Do not over tighten the bolts, this can cause the device to freeze.

Works fairly efficiently as a heat sink however access GPIO clearance is insufficient to allow the use of a 40 pin IDC ribbon cable connector.

Liked it so much that I have just bought another for a new project. Using PI 4 as PVR, so needs to be silent and running 24 / 7. Excellent.

Bought the blue one looks great and dissipates lots of heat.

Raspberry do I need to say anything. The heatsink was easy to assemble.

Bought this case because it allows access to the GPIO pins and was of a sturdy design to allow me to use it with my kids. Sturdy it is, and its passive cooling worked well. However the GPIO access does not facilitate a solid ribbon cable to be connected to the GPIO so that you can provide a full solid extension to a GPIO extension board. Individually connected breadboard jumper wires will work but for me this was not ideal given its educational application intentions.

This seems to work well, keeping the Pi comfortable. And it also looks really cool.
