good value for the price
I was looking for a tripod stand for my Raspberry Pi HQ camera and found this collection. It turns out that the long camera cable is essential for the tripod stand. Good that they bundle it together. The whole set is pretty useful, and good value for the price.

Solid base, just wish the screw swiveled.
This is a solid base for any of the ArduCam brand lenses, however having to rotate the sensor mount around this base instead of having a screw that swivels makes this a little less than perfect for telephoto lenses. This is because with telephone lenses the only way to adjust where the camera is focused is to use shims. The camera rarely rests so that you would only have to adjust one of the legs.

Works great
Worked out great. If you’re having focus issues, be sure you removed the extra step ring in front of your focuser that came with the camera. It’s not needed in this setup and places the lens too far away to achieve focus.

How to make this lens work with the Pi HQ Camera
I just wanted to share that after much frustration with getting this lens to focus on the Pi HQ camera I was successful and wanted to share how I accomplished it.(See first picture of night sky after following the procedure below)Directions to get a focused image ==================1. Loosen the “back focus lock screw” on the HQ Camera2. Unscrew the “back focus adjustment ring” from the camera3. Screw in the “M12 adapter ring”, that came in this kit, into the camera4. Screw the “Arducam fisheye lens” into the “M12 adapter plate”5. I screwed the lens almost all the way into the adapter plate then unscrewed it approx. 2 turns6. Now adjust the focus by screwing the lens clockwise or counterclockwise until the image is clear as you want it.(See my 2nd picture for visual of the above steps)

impossible to focus
I bought this kit for my raspi hq camera installed it with the provided adapter, but there is no documentation how to install it properly and I can’t get it to come in focus….not even close. 100% blurry all the time. Asking for a refund. I have tried adjusting the lense in the adapter to it’s extremes as well as the back focus ring on the HQ camera itself. It’s impossible to make anything out in the image. Terrible product.

Great little lens kit
Like others, I had the problem trying to get it to not be horribly blurry while using this with the Raspberry Pi HQ camera, but then I removed the extra step ring in front of the focuser that came with the camera and it was fine. Pictured are an image from my AllSky setup with this lens and the lens attached to the HQ camera module.

Kind of bulky
Great price works great.

Too small for the HQ camera
Do not buy this for the Pi HQ Camera. It is a tiny M12 mount with an adapter to the much larger C/CS mount. The result is a circular image that does not cover the entire sensor.
