    That's a cool little thing, saves the need to use a Pi with its own energy consumption.

    A bit expensive for what it is, though.

    I didn’t notice the price but yeah I guess it’s economies of scale vs a pi

    That does look interesting and offers support for 4k out of the box (not possible with the pi Zero but may come on stream if a better board is launched in the future). I think I might need to get one of those to test.

    At the moment I have the 6mm lens and it's adequate but I'd prefer something a little wider. I bought a cheap 2.8mm from Ebay but the distortion is out of this world - back to the drawing board on that one.

    I've already moved onto improved lighting and recently took delivery of a pair of cheap USB-powered LED panels. I'm pleased with them so far but probably need to find a better mount so that I can attach them directly to the monitors. The tripods, though flimsy, will be retained as I might also use the panels for macro photography.

    Have a look at these M12-mount lenses:

    Thanks. It's just annoying that I can't find a European outlet. 3.9mm or 4.2mm would be ideal, I think.
