Hello, Im gonna make a drone with 4 cameras. I want to use the Arducam Multi Camera Adapter but i would like to have one of the cameras better, but i check its just possible to use the same cameras. Would be possible to mix the normal 8MP cam of Arducam with, for example, “Arducam 8MP Sony IMX219 Camera Module w/ CS lens 2718 (Raspberry Pi)”? I think this is the same camera but have anothe lens. Thanks a lot

Hello @javilu20 and welcome to the RobotShop forum!

As you mentioned, the Arducam Multi Camera Adapter module supports different cameras (5MP OV5647 / 8MP IMX219 / 12MP IMX477 camera) but it doesn’t allow mixing. However, as long as you use the same sensor (8MP IMX219 in your case) for all the cameras, you can add any lens you want. So, yes you can use the camera module with the lens and other IMX219 Cameras without it.
