Arducam Camera unit MBS-SES-185-27

The ArduCAM team has released a number of camera modules for the Raspberry Pi, including 5MP and 8MP modules. They are fully compatible with the official version and are divided into standard version, optimized optical power version, miniature spy camera version, noir version, motorized IR cut version and programmable motorized focus camera version. These camera modules support all Raspberry Pi models and require a 15-to-22-pin cable or an adapter to work with the Pi Zero. This Arduino 12MP IMX477 camera module for Raspberry Pi has the same camera board size and mounting holes as the Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2, so no major hardware changes are required to dispose of your 8MP IMX219 and take the Arduino camera over. Applications with space and weight restrictions, such as drones, also benefit from the IMX477 camera, as it offers the same image acquisition power and control commands as the official Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera, but is much smaller and lighter and has interchangeable M12 lenses.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON THE IMX477 MIPI LANES
The IMX477 camera module supports 4 lanes in hardware, but the 4-lane camera driver requires additional adjustments:

Standard Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano/Xavier NX cannot physically support a 4-lane connection (both have only 2-lane CSI connections). Only the Raspberry Pi Compute Module and some third-party Jetson Carrier Boards have 4-lane hardware support. Therefore, this is not a general need. A 4-lane connection requires additional work, especially camera drivers, in addition to the 4-lane physical port. And the drivers are limited by the performance of the platform itself. For example, 4-Lane cannot unlock 4k video on the Raspberry Pi because the VideoCore does not currently support it. Even the Jetson Nano is limited to some extent by the encoding possibilities. You need to make sure you really need it.
