Thanks both! Totally agree with the comments here.

So serendipitously **ArduCam** reached out actually to offer to support other camera modules. And so with a crazy-short turn afforded by ArduCam, I am excited to already mention we are working on support for everything requested in this thread:

- IMX378 with M12 lens mount ([Github issue](https://github.com/luxonis/depthai-hardware/issues/16))
- OV9281 (also works with OAK-D) with M12 lens mount. ([Github issue](https://github.com/luxonis/depthai-hardware/issues/17))
- OV9282 FishEye camera module with 155HFOV ([Github issue](https://github.com/luxonis/depthai-hardware/issues/15))

So this means we can make an OAK-D variant that is entirely M12-mount compatible! How cool!

M12-mount OV9281 used on existing ArduCam dual-camera solution:

155-degree HFOV fisheye for enabling SLAM use-cases:

So @ghawkins with this 155HFOV module on OAK-D, this would the ideal SLAM solution you were asking about.

And @Katherine_Scott this combination allows the awesome flexibility you mention from M12 mount capability, while also allowing pre-calibrated camera intrinsics for more SLAM application with the integrated FishEye 155 HFOV module.

Thoughts?

Thanks,  
Brandon
