The lens can be replaced by breaking the potting compound seal for even more customization.

NEGATIVE:
Barebones Design

The camera is a raw board without any protective casing, making it prone to damage and requiring additional housing for protection.

FOV Too Wide for Some Applications

The 170° field of view can be overly wide for specific uses like laser cutting with Lightburn, requiring extensive calibration.

No Built-in Microphone

Lack of a built-in microphone could be a limitation for those needing audio capture.

Pricey for Raw Board

At $70, it might seem expensive for a board-only camera with no enclosure or additional features.

Distortion at Edges

The wide-angle lens can cause noticeable distortion near the edges, which could be problematic for precise applications.

Limited High-End Performance

Although good for its price, it doesn’t deliver "high-dollar" camera performance, making it unsuitable for very high-end photography or video.

DIY Enclosure Required

Users will need to fabricate or purchase a separate enclosure, which adds to the time and potentially the cost.

Initial Calibration Needed

Some projects may require an initial setup and calibration period to get the desired results, particularly for specialized software like Lightburn.
