Review: Good product - Why did you choose this product over others?: Works well, just remember to remove the lens cover
Review: Fails with dmaHeap allocation error - Using with a Pi 4 running bookworm (12) and half the time libcamera-still fails with error: dmaHeap allocation failure for rpicam-apps0 ERROR: *** failed to allocate capture buffers for stream *** Have been through the trouble shooting guides, allocated more cma (512M) but makes no difference. The image quality when it manages to capture an image is very good and I’ve therefore given three stars. The issue with reliably capturing an image can be got around by using a script to keep trying until success, which suits my use case, but is not ideal
