It's best practice to place your Raspberry Pi into an enclosure. This will minimise hazards and accidents, and lots of cases just look cool!

The camera area of the front comes with three different face plates, one that has room for the camera and is flat, one that has no camera hole and one that has a camera hole but also lego-compatible studs you can build on. This camera, like many others in the space, also uses the 8-megapixel OV5647 sensor. It’s a low price and reliable sensor with a vast list of compatibilities so you won’t have any issues installing the camera. The case comes with the PIR module and wires included. The PIR module is neatly mounted to the front of the case and the three PIR wires connect directly to the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins (5V, GND and GPIO 17).But the real dream, and one that is genuinely more interesting than my iPhone camera, is custom 3D-printed case. That could turn the Pi Hawk-eye Camera into a unique point-and-shoot, albeit one with a few more quirks than your average smartphone. You see, Its not beyond expectation that we throw the design out there for free, but sell the moulding tools to personalise or custom-modify the article. The success we predict is more in keeping with the DIY spirit. Raspberry Pi 4 Official Case: This case has the correct Raspberry Pi colors and aesthetic, but it doesn’t offer much in the way of features. With its over on, there’s no access to the GPIO pins or camera and there’s no hole or mount for a fan either. The Raspberry Pi HQ Camera Case (above) is compatible with the existing High Quality Camera Module. (Image credit: Adafruit) It has an IR Lens to optimise motion detection, a strap so you can set-up your ideal wildlife shots, space for additional sensors, power solutions and upgrades….and it looks awesome!

What kind of cooling? Some cases come with built-in fans while others use passive cooling by turning the top of the case into a heatsink. Still others leave room for a fan but don’t come with one. Are you planning to use the case in the lounge? Could fan noise become an issue? If so then a passively cooled Pi makes more sense. If you’re buying a case for a Raspberry Pi 4, cooling is critical especially if you are farming Chia or planning to run Windows 11. Some assembly is required. The kit is straightforward to build and creates a watertight space for your camera 03. Test your setup The MakerFocus Raspberry Pi Camera Module is a great choice for anyone looking to get the most out of their Raspberry Pi project. This camera module has been designed specifically for use with the Raspberry Pi and is one of the best options available. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced hobbyist, this camera module offers plenty of features that will help you create amazing projects with your Raspberry Pi. The IMX477 camera’s dimensions have increased from the previous model, measuring 38mm by 38mm, versus 24mm by 23mm for the Raspberry Pi camera V2. This is due to the fact that a compatible C-mount adapter was added so various interchangeable lenses can be screwed in place. This also permits the user to add CS lenses to the camera.

2. Shorter & Longer Flex Cables (Up to 1 Meter)

It is by far the best case I have found for any purpose. Very easy to insert the board, puts zero strain on the connector or anything else, unlike many camera cases. Easy to mount and align because of the screw holes in the hinge (which you can reverse if needs be to help with cable alignment). Judicious use of silicone sealant as you put the two halves together and then carefully around the lens hole ought to do it?

If you’ve ever wished you could play on a Raspberry Pi Zero like you play on a Nintendo Game Boy, the Retroflag GPi case will absolutely make your wish come true. Aside from the Pi Zero itself and microSD card, the GPi Case comes with everything you need to create a portable, handheld gaming experience.
